RE: I tried A4

I think I'll wait for the 2 R models Honda is rumoured to be coming out
with here in the US: an Accord w/a 220bhp VTEC powerplant and a Civic
w/175bhp - they both have odd and sundry suspension upgrades and some
"aero aids" (they rarely aid when they're added onto a model later in
life...).

The 96 Honda Accord EX and EX-L(EX with Leather) both have a 145hp (I
belive) 
VTEC... Now if they would just put the 190 hp DOHC VTEC from the Prelude
in the 
Accord...
