Default 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)

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.

you 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...
