A Type R is what we should have. V6 or not, there’s just a need for more performance as the current version has gained a lot of weight with only minor engine improvements. What we have now more than fits the bill for a good-looking, comfortable, reliable transport with some degree of Honda fun, but getting that extra power would make it just about perfect.

Instead of brining in the V6 version, i wouldn’t mind seeing the diesel engine they have in europe. Even better, bring in the wagon version with a diesel engine.

This V6 is largely to appeal to fat lazy americans who want more torque for their freeway driving.

Strictly for the USDM. Our CU2 platform will not support the V6 according to Honda Japan.

That’s true Joober.
I don’t think there’s much need for this car in Oz. I doubt there would be many people out there buying accord euros for their performance figures. For what it is, it’s fine in 4cyl guise. Plus, honda V6′s tend to be on the thirsty side, which won’t really appeal to potential buyers of this type of vehicle.

“A good RWD will always be better than a good FWD.

The best AWD cars have a bias towards RWD which says it all really. ” – no doubt but we should avoid talking performance terms and taking to the limits on cars intended just for the a to br and cruiser and a FWD platform is plenty enough suited.

I think the 4cyl is enough, the vtec engine is revvy enough for the odd squirt if you need to overtake some time and point.

I hope they bring this here so people don’t have to settle for the horrid Thai version if they want a V6. Lack of speed is also one of the reasons why I held back getting the Euro. If not the V6, the RDX’s turbo engine is very much welcome.

People who bag FWD cars on the oversteer issue need to drive some fine offerings of late.
