My predictions for future–FWD with possible LSD standard or at least optional a la Civic SI. 1.3-1.6ltr 4cylinder DOHC plus battery similar to Civic hybrid, ~120+hp and 200+ lb/ft. 60+mpg. Glass roof will go away and go metal. 19-22k usd, 2500lbs,fabric seats similar to Civic SI, 10 gallon gas tank, possible start/stop technology, 17-18 in wheels, two versions -one high MPG and one SI like. Thoughts?

SOOO HHOOOOTTTT, it would be nice to get an exciting looking car from honda that doesn’t cost 30K, hopefully honda will offer it in hybrid and regular form.

I believe for a car like that it should stay FWD. It sounds like it’s going to be a hybrid, like the Honda insight. But it hasn’t been confirmed just yet if they are going to follow through with it.

No, I would definitly want one with a K20a engine or maybe with a RWD type of powerplant like the S2000 but a lot cheaper…

Anyway a K20a engine should work really fine, keeping in mind that the car is lighter than the civic… anyway 2009 will be the year of truth, and I can’t wait!!!

[...] Honda’s CEO doesn’t believe that plug-in hybrids will reduce emissions of carbon dioxide and isn’t interested building them. Instead of a plug-in hybrid, Honda is continuing to develop their fuel cell technology. In the meantime there are two traditional hybrid vehicles in the works -the global small hybrid as well as the CR-Z concept. [...]

Yah, they better have some gumps to do this, I mean the market is perfect for a car like this. VW, Mini cooper, Scion are prime examples, shoot they need to make this a top priority, especially with Mazda working on the Mazda 2. But it does look like it might be a 2+2 seater. That would be even better. Sporty, conveint, cheap, and fun to drive. This would be the best move honda has made, as you say if they follow through with it.

If Honda has the cajones to make this ( and keep it close to concept ), they’ll sell a TON. I wonder if it’s a straight 2 seater or 2+2?

Aww man! There actually making a concept! SWEET! I’ve been waiting for this. I always wanted to get my hands on the old CR-X because, it’s small, light, and sporty. I hope they do come out with this one. They should share the same drivetrain of the euro 3door Civic Type-r HatchBack. That will be one lean mean machine.
