Dude, altough we saw the pics a lil before it came out, i knew that the new accord was coming out since a year ago. And, nowhere in the plans did i see an ITR...btw, although this isn't related to any import tuner, they're coming out with a new RL wid a beefed up V6 instead of their originally planned v8. (they're wonderful at keeping info rigt?) And, some ppl told me that Honda representives don't plan on bringing the ITR here to the states.
The Accord was a bad example. Instead, I'll use the Civic Si.
I've known about Honda not manufcaturing a V8 since last spring...kind of obvious when Elliot comes out in a press conference and babbles about how a V8 is completely against Honda's tradition and how they don't need a V8 to make power. And the RL ain't gonna be RWD either...they have quite a niche.
The G4 ITR will come out when RSX sales slacken (now they're slackening because of the west coast port thing, but I mean for real slacken), which'll probably be in a year or two. It'll boost interest considerably. If they don't slacken, there will be no need to...but there's so much competition now, there will be.
How're they gonna make the ITR have less luxury features
Acura wants to be luxury PLUS sport...I think they'd add MORE luxury features.
