Default Anyone watch the TOV Interview with Ikeda

This is kinda of misleading as you look at the title below it says "real v8"

http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=95203

but all they do is talk about the styling of the new tl and thats it...nothing about engine/drivetrain/suspension/performance

if you read some of the responses in the thread, you'd have seen that jon ikeda wasn't allowed to talk about the engine/drivetrain/suspension/performance, so any questions that were asked about it only ended up in ikeda saying that he couldn't answer any questions about it. those parts were edited out of the video. if they were going to talk about these things, they wouldn't have saved it for the temple of vtec interview to break the news to the public for the very first time. its just not public yet.

Because they wanted to garner more attention. They suck.

Could "Real V8" be some sort of new RealPlayer format? I know RealPlayer tends to come out with a new, snappy sounding format every other week...so perhaps its just that. Gosh, some of you guys are pretty harsh with TOV. I have to disagree, its the first place I saw crisp, detailed pictures of the new TL. Hard to argue with that.

TOV people are very, very selfish? i'm not arguing, just clarifying

i only value TOV for the news and articles. its a great source for spy shots and hi-res images of honda models and auto shows, etc. other than that, most of the conversation that goes on is pretty dull and there are a lot of retarded people there. there is one guy that whenever a spyshot of any car comes out, he raises his voice about being an expert in photo editing and declares them to be fakes. then when the real car is publicly unveiled and he is proven 100% wrong, he just disappears until the next spyshots come around.

there were some people that, when faced with the first clear shots of the new accord, were convinced that they could see chrysler wings on the grille, and so the car just *HAD* to be a chrysler concept, with a honda logo photoshopped onto it...

The people who run TOV are selfish. When new pics of the Accord came out they refused to let us post them even while giving them tremendous props. That is why I stopped visitng that site. Anything posted there will trickle down here eventually. We've posted a few things faster, actually.

And then surprisingly, it's posted up there nearly word for word on what we write. :jerkit:
