Is it a rwd bias? I've noticed a positive difference between my car (rwd bias that's 30/70 and goes to 50/50) vs a lot of other awds I've driven with a fwd bias. I hear really good things about the sh awd but don't know much about it.

I think it's a 70F/30 split but it can send up to 70% just to the rear wheels or one wheel if it's slipping....or something like that.

^yup, pretty much. not only front to rear (as you drive) but also laterally as well, so you can have the outside right-rear still at 70% then the outside left-rear at 0 and the fronts sharing 30 ea. basically adjusting the yaw as you drive, ensure car stays on the line you want, barely any understeer (proven at track days). love the system, it's awesome.

then you have rear-wheel steer on the RLX...and it's noticeable. a gimmick sure but one that actually makes a difference and surprising how quick you can get an rlx around a sharp right turn say.

y0 dawg i heard you like shawd in yo car so you can shawd while you shawd

My TLX feels quicker off the line then my Gen did. The brake-hold line lock is great. Handles great too, just needs some better tires. The stock all seasons howl like crazy when pushed.

Yeah pretty much. It is a hybrid-super car and the shit in it isn't exactly cheap...so i think it comes in decently priced for what it is. Nismo GTR runs you a pretty penny and it's a standard supercar...still prob the best bang for the buck on the planet (looks subjective lol).

Some of the guys here have bugged the devs in Ohio to make a non-hybrid NSX so you can pick one up for say $99-109K \:D

maybe so...not sure what though because to sell them here -

1. cdn market is tiny so they prob will go to the USA (if product planning feels canada should get/can sell then they'll bring whatever x-model here). it'd be great to see some true JDM models here...seems like vehicles there get smaller and here shit just gets bigger. \:\| - so it may be easier/cheaper for them to just make cars specific to N/A market instead of retrofitting their current planned lineup to "bring over" here.

2. the only cars from jpn now are rlx and the rlx hybrids with honda hybrid models. i think they already dropped one rlx? lol. nsx is ohio. hatch civic will be from the UK along with ctr (curious to see how many ctr's they actually bring in). accord plug-in i believe is from JPN but they don't sell it here.

see that's what i don't get? i thought that they would have made more models here so that they wouldn't have to deal with nafta, but i guess for them to be using 51% of parts from the usa ins't working out for them? atleast that was my understanding as to why they were making basically everything outside of japan.

^not sure how it all works myself. lots of biz and politics decisions behind it really, way to deep for us to prob delve into. vehicles from jpn are expensive regardless and building them here is always cheaper (now mexico...ugh). even china seems pricey vs. mexico nowadays from what i've heard. the dollar fluctuation per country has a huge impact as well. like now Canadian factories are enjoying production again vs. the past few years. lots of stuff has moved to the US since then...hopefully some will return.

'17 MDX update coming soon (not full model change). won't look AS nice as this drawing but at least the beak is gone lol. prob have hybrid v6 a-la-RLX in it.

http://www.autoblog.com/2016/03/01/honda-civic-hatchback-prototype-geneva-2345/

proto for the base/higher trim. final ed. won't be as aggressive (as usual) except for Si/CTR prob. this one looks like an 08-12 STI hatch mated with an Escort RS \:D , with civic front/rear fascia.

"The engine in the Civic Type R is expected to be a turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder with as much as 305 horsepower on tap. Regular Civic Hatchbacks should come with the 158-hp 2.0-liter four and 174-hp turbocharged 1.5-liter four already offered in the Civic Sedan and Civic Coupe".

What's nice is I think they've already confirmed you'll be able to get a 6-spd in the coupe (and hatch??) for the 1.5 turbo higher trims, as well as in the Si and CTR of course.

In asia (and EU??) they get:

"The upcoming Honda Civic Hatchback Prototype will come with two variants. A 1.0L VTEC Turbo engine churning out maximum power output of 127 HP and maximum torque of 200 Nm (148 lbs-ft), (Fit swap anyone \:D ) - while the 1.5L VTEC Turbo engine produces maximum power of 201HP and peak torque of 260 Nm"

EU gets a new i-DTEC diesel motor too, dang we miss out as usual again on this.

Is it bad when the nicest car in your lineup is the minivan? Maybe not exactly, but close enough...

The designers from Honda - and especially Acura - should've been fired years ago.

True. But only the sedan, the coupe is a mess with all those stupid scoops and fins on the bumpers.
