I wish I'm wrong, cuz I like the idea of S16 that weights ~2700lbs and has the new 1.6L turbo engine married to a 6mt
Nissan will do it before Honda will. Honda is dead (in the FR market), but they got a new NSX coming. But that ain't gonna be a cheap.


If the AS1 is sucessful, the Hyundai will come out with a lighter smaller genesis, and nissan will come out with a new SILVIA. They have the engines. Supposedly the next Altima is getting a 2.5 liter 4 cylinder with turbo or supercharging. And the 1.6 liter Turbo Juke engine would work too. And Hyundai has a excellent 280 HP 2.0 liter turbo and a upcoming 204 HP 1.6 liter turbo.

Remember is has to be FR.

Honda should bring back the Prelude and make it FR and light weight!
Mazda already said they are making a new RX7 but the RX7 is in the same class as the 370Z and upcoming Toyota Supra. It is FR but not cheap. Plus a new Z car will be out in 2014 or 15.
