Indeed. That V8 should have appeared on the Accord series (or even Honda Civic) 😀

I could overlook the Ridgeline's styling with a V6 turbodiesel/

i'd take the diesel myself 🙂

Where do you see "one-cylinder shutoff?" It just says "cylinder shutoff."

I figured that "cylinder shutoff" meant that at highway cruising speed, one bank of cylinders would shut down, giving the V8 the gas milage of a 4-cylinder.

More like mileage of a V6.

Those 4 extra cylinders are now just dead weight and a sh!tload of friction. If you found a way to mate two 4 bangers together through some sort of clutch system, then it's feasible.

Oh, really...

Honda will install a V-10 in the Acura NSX successor. The 15-year-old sports car, powered by a V-6, will be dropped at the end of this year.

But the question is, will it finally break the 300LB/ft barrier that Honda has yet to even approach? (the RL is the highest w/ 260LB/ft)

They use reduction gearing in their vehicles. 😕

Peugeot Hoggar (some kind of demo vehicle) has two engines (one front, one back), each one powering one axle. You have 8 cylinders when you need them, but just 4 when you don't.
Also, the fact that the engines are HDI turbo diesels helps 😀

That'd be awesome.
