I'm really curious to see some power numbers. There have been a few on here to push the limits of the engine to try and get the power, however the DCT is the issue. The reason all the sports have CVT's is the ability for the engine to be in the higher rev range (more power) when the clutch engages. Hence the reason Textron went with a CVT on the XX.

And before someone on here says "I don't need massive power" you need to look around and see whats selling. It's a horsepower and suspension war right now.

Rather than high rpm’s I wish they would opt for lower rpm with torque and grunt
Thats what we have in the Pioneer. That's not whats going to compete in the sport market though.

You can see the paddle shifter in one of the photos. Also, there is no way Honda would do a CVT. It would ruin the "illusion" that a belt is inferior.

Probably so.

They (the photographer and source of the photos) chose to make a stupid decision. They know better, if not they will probably have learned a valuable life lesson. Especially if the didn’t delete all the metadata from the photos.

I have been in quite a few places where photos are prohibited, you just don’t take them, then you’re not able to accidentally or on purpose share something you ought not.

My question is do YOU wish you’d waited on the specs for these?
Yup, get ready to see these pics disappear. The fhit has sit the fan already.
