... I was expecting a car. Doh.

Saab should stop using "Born from Jets" now, they should have stopped a long time ago!

So what!!! GM or Ford can build one that costs $500 million and goes at 3 MPH. 😀

Article mentioned nothing about Vtec. Does this thing have it?

I sure hope so, that, and it better be FWD. Knowing Honda, they probably fit a 4 cylinder engine in this thing 😛

Just what we need... more VLJ's clogging up the skies...

The first Honda that comes with a wing larger than what thier customers would put on it.

As soon as I see this jet with neon lights and and orange and green paint job consisting of Japanse characters, I'm moving.

With the way our country has mucked up commerical aviation since 9/11, VLJs are exactly what a lot of people need.

It makes it go faster 😉

I bet that think doesn't even have NOS! I didn't see it mounted over the back seat.

It's an aftermarket option. Check on eBay in a few months 😉

The gallery shows the plane at OshKosh, but I don't remember seeing it this year...

aside from some of the not-so-great to slightly humorous comments on this thread..

that article is one cool story and a good read.

You'll have to wait for the "Si" version, which will be available the year after initial launch.

I'm not a fan of the way the engines (if that's what they're called) look way up in the air like that.

 

[mercanucaribe]

480mph? Isn't that kind of speed unprecedented in the world of small planes?
