ahh, thanks for the link.
So basically, the Fit will look like the new CR-V, the Accord will look like the CSX, the TSX will look like the current TL and the new NSX will look like the last gen TL hahaha.

I guess power really. Most keep saying they're using turbo to get more power while using less fuel. However, the Murano with a 3.5 litre V6 gets better mileage (and a tad more power) than the RDX. Even the heavier RX350 gets better mileage. The only one that's slightly worse is the CX-7

they didnt want to put a V6 in the RDX because it would make the front heavier was one of their main reasons going turbo 4. Also the new MDX is going to have a V6, no sense in making the RDX V6, dont want to turn the MDX into another RL. Turbos always make worse mileage vs an equivalent N/A anyways
mmmmmmmm Turbo
I can honestly say that I'm really disappointed with every car shown there. The NSX is probably the biggest disappointment. It just looks OLD. That TSX looks like a GM concept car for some reason. And if the new Accord looks like the new Civic...

Under a moderately heavy load and actually making some power, a smaller displacement turbo engine will make that power "more efficiently" than a larger NA engine, but in cars most of the time the engine is not under much of a load so that's really a moot point. It doesn't stop marketers from using it though. They might quote a 10% improvement in efficiency looking at some narrow area of an engine's BSFC map vs another, nevermind the fact that the engine will rarely if ever be operating in that range and that it's irrelevant.
