Why SOHC?
 
I just can't figure out why Honda is going SOHC for Accord V6's.. Wouldn't DOHC be better for numerous reasons? (i.e. Light-weight, better performance)

Er.. correction to my post: DOHC is heavier than SOHC...

It's an economy car, not a performance oriented car.

Plus DOHC is more complicated/more expensive. SOHC is easier to build/cheaper.
I do wish it was DOHC though[:@]

Speaking of theNSX: I was waiting while I was getting the oil in one of the company cars changed the other day and I was browsing through the car section of the classifieds. There is an Acura dealer in town that has an earlier 90's model NSX w/ under 50kmilesfor around $32k! I thought that wasa prettylow price for any NSX. I wonder if there is something wrong with it.

Speaking of NSX I just heard Fifth Gear say that the Civic type R in Japan is only one sec slower than the NSX on the test track.

:Dyou should not drive the nsx until you can afford to buy it (and that day could be today)....cause it just makes it more painful...
