              Hmm now if they could only impliment this new V8 into the Honda Ridgeline (New truck from Honda) thats coming out soon. Then Fords gonna have some stiff competition on its hands.

                I'm assuming that has the same AWD as the new RL as well?

                Seems that the engine has been in use for race only for a few years now... And that it's only a concept model shown there. There really is little chance for us to ever see that on the road. Honda's "thing" isn't big displacement, inefficient motors... If they ever release a V8, it'll be something smaller and revvier.

                  I think I remember reading on there that it did indeed have the SH-AWD. I'm so glad Honda decided to put a V8 in something.

                          O...M...G... i can die happy now that seeing honda can easily beat american ass with yep a 4 liter v-8. they should try and perfect this and welp honda should now use that engine for future projects.
                          1. the ridgeline should have this engine. prolly would be an ultimate truck if they did. bad ass and very easy to make this work.
                          2. nsx being nother. always thought they should have a bit more to them. 290 HP was a lil low for the 90,000 bill
                          3. anything else really.... let your mind wonder. im sure ya can think of some badass ideas...
