Yup. Was discussed in a couple of meetings I attended, as was a 5 door as well. At the time the 3 door body didn't exist.

Accept certain inalienable truths, prices will rise, politicians will philander, you too will get old, and when you do you’ll fantasise that when you were young prices were reasonable, politicians were noble and children respected their elders.

surprised honda are not going down the cylinder deactivation route. that definitely sounds like a bit of them being cam activated etc. seems VAG have got this in the bag now even on 4 cylinders. then we get lower emissions and better mpg but still get to keep the naughty side.

There's a difference between cylinder "deactivation" and cylinder "destruction" which is what VAG engines seem to be very good at recently.

EvoStu 2012. I just said it. If someone else said it before me, its just a huge coincidence.

Engine Speculation.
So, the new CRV will be coming with either a 2.0 i-VTEC and 2.2 i-DTEC powerplant (announced today). So, as Honda produce very few new engines is it a fair bet that the petrol motor is based on the K20?
In the past (7th gen Civic) there were two flavours of the K20 (K20A2 @200hp; K20A3 @160hp), is it now possible we might have something similar again... If they have reworked the K20 to get it in line with Euro5, is this a 'de-tuned' favour (equivilent to the old K20A3) and the CTR might get the full fat version?
Hmmm...

[Jules]

I thought it was a 2.3 engine in the CRV
