News Flash: Honda admits SAAB was right all along! Posted by Snowmobile [Email] (#686) [Profile/Gallery] (more from Snowmobile) on Sat, 13 Feb 2016 13:38:02 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
I don't actually follow Honda that closely, but I just saw that for 2016, they are offering the Civic with a 1.5L DI Turbocharged engine! Around 180hp and fuel economy better than the base model that gets around 150hp. Rolls into dealerships next november, as sedan, coupe, and hatchback. Will be interesting to see how this works for them. Apparently the next generation accord will also get a turbo.
Clearly for SAAB to continue to innovate, they would have needed to go beyond just having a turbo. Just about every manufacturer does this these days (Honda were one of the longest hold outs!)...
