The engine is supposed to be a detuned version of the MD-X 3.5L V6. I am personally expecting something like the '02 Ody engine. 238 hp and it runs on regular gas.
When comparing to vehicles like the Chevys and Fords, remember that Honda tends to make their cars (and trucks) lighter than the American competition. They don't need as much power to get moving. For example, the 160 hp CR-V will run 0-60 in about 8-9 seconds. That's about the same as the 200 hp Escape. |
