open deck provide better cooling, which is not a bad thing for boosted engines. there are a lot of aftermarket sleeves with open deck for honda blocks. in general, stock open deck blocks are weaker than closed deck but it depens on how over built these open deck blocks are going to be. remember that stock engines are design to hold stock power, not for you put a huge turbo on there and try to push 600+ whp on all stock components.

"Just like" makes it sound like it will the same as high end sports cars

"Similar" makes it sound like it will be a cheap Mitsu knock off.

I'll wait until people have beaten the crap out of them for a year or 2 and then pass judgement. All this speculation is great, but it's still just speculation.

And the big mod will be to swap the 2.0 out for the bigger 2.4 of the same engine found in the new SRT-4 Caliber...

I read somewhere that the tires are to be made of the new composite paper machete with mercury lining. Any new news on this?

I do know that the engine is reverse mounted, meaning the Turbo is against the firewall. I hope that the New Turbo fits on the IX

I think it's safe to assume that EVO X will come with Vented Disks because even the DE/SE/GTS will come with Front Vented Disks...
