tsx said, "Exception models are Honda Accord which is now at 4 cyl. 166 from 160... v6 from 240 to 244 and TSX from 200 to 205! Honda increased the HP in these models by modifying exaust manifolds etc.. so it doesn't decrease the numbers and plus they are refreshned models for 2006 model year!!"
Hi tsx!!
[and all the rest of you]
Honda's plan was for the Accord 4 cylinder to have 170 h.p. The Accord V6 to have 250 h.p. and the TSX to have 210 h.p. And they would be rated at those figure IF Honda still measured power the old way.
I didin't mention those figures cuz there is no point any as Honda/Toyota will use the new standards to meansure power in the new way!
Some of the other cars by Honda Also include..
2006 Acura RSX:
Old Standard: 210HP for 2006 (up 10)
New Standard: 201HP (up 1)
2006 Civic Si:
Old Standard: 200HP
New Standard: 197HP
I can't wait to see the figures from Nissan...
With their much appraised VQ Engine Series.. the 3.5V6
that will affect em' big time as 80% of their models are using this engine!!
Other manufacturer don't have the guts to do it.. as they are riding on the HP wave right now...
the biggest being the 5.7L Hemi
Repect to Toyota/Honda for leading the example for other follow!!
