The problem is honda has always suceeded in doing things their way (turbos im F1, NSX v6, N/A over turbo), that when they should finally conform, they are too stubborn to do so.
RL needs to be scrapped and re-styled first of all. It doesnt say "I look like a $50,000 car). The mechanicals are sound, it's just boring. Maybe give it a default RWD bias ala Atessa to make it sportier?
