that is sick but when will we see it and how much money are we gonna have to spend to get it? It also sounds like alot more money in maintenance and repairs if ever needed.

I couldn't see the video because my connection is too slow...Rogers High Speed Lite...
Anyway, I am assuming that video was talking about SH AWD.
This technology is available to buy next month. It is available on the new RL. I heard an MSRP around $70,000.
Oh, it is no more complex than an automatic transmission....

i personally think that its a cool idea to have that in any car, like it adds safety and stuff. but like almost alot of the new cars these days more and more are controlled electronically. like the new bmw 5 series where it has that electronic motor for the steering. to me i prefer myself having all the control in the car ie. no abs, MT, no power steering, etc. too bad the only car that i know thats like that is the 92 nsx type r, which is so hard to find and not even available in north america. but yea go honda

Very cool system.

Glad to see Honda has come to the AWD arena in their sedan range.

After watching the video, this system reminds me of the Audi Quattro system. Having had a chance to drive a Quattro equipped car, was really cool, I was having a hard time trying to make the car break loose, it just wouldn't.

Glad to see Honda is giving its customers something like this. I don't think it will be as fragile as some think, the Quattro system is practically bulletproof, and knowing Honda quality, I am sure it will be the same.

Now to see a limited production of Type-R vehicles with this, would be darn right amazing. Only if....

Cheers,

Corrado2nv
