Default Second sign of the world's imminent doom- Factory turbo Honda

(the first sign is obviously x86 chips in Apples)

This was in the June 05 issue of Motor Trend. The pic is just a pic of a smaller MDX lookalike and really small, not worth scanning in.

ACURA RDX Powered by a 260-horsepower turbocharged four-cylinder engine and using the Super-Handling AWD system from the new RL, the racier baby brother to the MDX is scheduled to go on sale early next year. It shares its platform with the next-generation Honda CR-V.
A factory turbo-four Honda. Now all they need to do is drop this AWD turbo drivetrain in something sporty like the TSX and for the first time in history they might have an exciting car on their hands.

They only have the one four cylinder engine family in production now, I think. The K-series. If I had to guess it would be a turbo k24, which would be very exciting as it would probably drop into any other K powered car. We'll have to see as they release more details about the car. Hopefully Motor Trend didn't blow it on this one.
