A possible blessing of an i-VTEC 6? Or better yet...the a-VTEC.
I doubt Honda will sell us the JDM engine....

We will all have to see the finished car before we over guess it!

Here are some more pictures I found on the 6thGen website:
http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=689703 As I posted over in 6th gen, the sedan looks like a Scion TC took a crap on a Toyota Camry and the coupe looks like a Scion TC took a crap on a Nissan 350Z. The sedan also looks kind of Saturn-ish
Unless they blow me away with the engine performance, I am not a fan at all!
If you look at the links on the left side of the page there are some interior shots. Looks like another 2 foot tall truck style gear shifter

I guess Honda wants people like me to keep blasting money into the Accord to create sleepers.
The 6 better pack 300+ horses....that or bring the Type S/R modifications to the table. Accord....Type S. How sweet would that be?

The coupe's design is more fresh and clean...the sedan (once again) is jipped of aesthetics.
EDIT- Interior (Steering Wheel) - Ripped off Civic. Still a 5 speed for the 4. :(

That seriously might be enough to make me think about trading. But, then again, I have problems.

Honda Accord Type S
"Millions of Accord owners screamed in delight as the Honda Motor Company finally delievered the first 300 units of the Honda Accord Type S to the United States. With improved intake and exhaust configuration, not to better a higher compression ratio, the Type-S blares out 220 hp for the 4 cylinder models and 300 hp for the cylinder. Factory estimates a 0-60 time in less than 6 seconds, but many are wary of the estimate calling those figures: "grandma driving". With a new redline of 8000 rpm mated to a 6 speed manual transmission, Honda just unleashed the beast under the sporty hood of the Accord. This is 03Sleeper with Fantasy Automobile News wishing you good luck and good night."

lmao.
But ToV released an article that's almost as good.
quote:
A-VTEC will most likely first appear in the 2008 Accord, which makes the introduction of that model even more highly anticipated than it already was. We were also led to believe that A-VTEC will first appear on a 4 cylinder engine. Will it be SOHC or DOHC? Will it be a variation of the K-series or R-series, or a whole new engine? Perhaps most intriguing to me is whether or not this technology will appear on the J-series V6? If it works as predicted, the life of the J-series could be extended significantly. Class leading top end power could be matched with vastly improved midrange torque and fuel economy – all while remaining smaller and lighter by virtue of using a SOHC design. Pay close attention in the coming months for official news from Honda on this exciting new technology.
Honda, being it's usual self, is gonna go economy first, then unleash it in sporty/performance vehicles (most likely candidate: Acura TSX) like in the K20/K24 additions. Perhaps this will be called....L? R?
