Very interesting........

[WhyOne?]

Very exciting for someone like me who's love of Honda dates back to their involvement in F1 through the 80's and 90's.

McLaren Honda has a nice ring about it .... if only there was a great new halo road car to link it all together ....

be nice to see honda back ... and perhaps it will reignite the spark to build more interesting cars as even renault/nissan can continue to develop sports vehicles

... powered by a 1.6 V6 Turbo Hybrid. If Honda/Acura don't make this link with the new NSX they really are as mad (and inept at marketing) as almost everyone else thinks they are!

I do shudder to think what these new F1 power-plants are going to sound like. For the first time I can recall, I agree with Bernie on something.

I think Mercedes have said the new F1 engines sound great but different from the current ones.

I know Paul has touch on it, but with the new NSX due to be out in 2015, so may be it could be that halo car?

Probably sound ok, still suck bang blow for now.
Hope Honda do better than last time they were there. Then again as Ferrai supporter not really.. ;)

pit lane is definitely going to be quieter....

... but they'll still probably all sound the same as each other :(

Back in the day (late '70s) you could get a V8's, V12's, Flat 12's, V6 and Inline 4 Turbo's on the same grid. Much more interesting :)
