So basically, according to your theory, you can also say Honda doesn't believe in RWD V8 engines to place in their Acura luxury vehicles because they haven't built that kind of car yet? So that means RWD V8 sedans aren't good? Come on man, do you realistically see Honda building a turbo engine, although its in some way shape or form in all our wet dreams about Hondas, its not likely to happen. Plus like stated prior, emmissions go way down with those setups, and whats Honda about LEV, Low Emissions Vehicle, even the S2K is LEV.

So you see my point here bud? No Honda wouldn't have realized the potential because its not something that would even remotely interest Honda.
