Shame, I actually preferred Vtec over turbo (simplicity and durability).

I'm interested to see how having a turbo on a car that's generally seen and treated as an appliance will affect long term reliability.

On the plus side it's going to be slightly difficult to have that classic brrrraaaappp that is so fun to hear at 3:30am.

They sold out. Honestly kind of sad about this, and I've never been a hardcore Honda guy. They won't be the same without their high revving N/A engines.
