Also, Honda can no longer sell the K20A2 in EU in new cars because it does not comply to current emission standards.

One thing folks aren't factoring in (and I'm not picking on firehawk) is that this is RWD, there is significant powertrain/torque loss spinning the back wheels vs fwd.

I wonder if there has ever been a more fuel efficient rwd car made ?
