H stands for High output, due to the substantial increase in HP.

Or simply alphabetical with some letters as prototype/specialty designations.

(Feel free to substitute "car magazine" with just about any other kind of consumer item in the phrase above... guns, flashlights, guitars, computers, phones, motorcycles, etc.)

They made a side by side comparison with the new MX-5 in a race track. I don't think they will do the same between the old and new model. I believe it'll be more a qualitative than a quantitative comparison. And of course many will still argue that it is under-power

H for Hentai

ps: Hentai means abnormal
ps2: Hentai actually means "transform" before anime porn caught on

Hi-Output? Last time I saw that was on the factory trim on V6 Charger In traditional Asian style I vote for Hi-Spec.

How exactly does the hill assist work? Does it prevent the car from rolling back in neutral?

You know like when you're on a hill and if you don't press the break or a hand break the car slides back?(manual driving only) hill assist helps you in that moment you let go of the brake and get on that clutch and accelerator. A manual car without hill assist tends to slide alittle backward. That's how I see it but here's a better exp in what more it can do

exactly, common trait in manuals here in Europe nowadays, except they put it in such underpowered cars sometimes that they have problems beating the hill assist system I guess that won't be a problem to take in consideration with our cars

I think I read somewhere they're going to redesign the exhaust manifold... What are the chances they go UEL instead of EL :p

I doubt it, the EL has a distinctive sound apart from the typical boxer sound. One of the many reasons I bought this car. You never know though.

i wonder how soon will it be till someone crashes the new model especially now that it has more power...

UEL is gone ... only as an aftermarket option ...
