The new SUV they offer is turbo'ed. RDX I think.
The old G1 88 or so Legend Sedan was also offered in select countries with a Wing Turbo. It was dubbed the "Wing Turbo" Legend. Anyway, it is good to see more turbocharged cars coming from Honda.

The RDX will have a turbo. The also had a turbo car in Japan way back.
I could see honda make turbo versions for lots of cars. It adds the TQ that VTEC lacks..

I think there are stock turbo Honda Citys running around in Japan...
Couple of you guys are correct. Honda produced "City and Legend" Turbo in the 80's for JDM only. The City was a really cool car, and is available in the Convertible form, and the Legend was a 2 liter V6 turbo, which put out 196ps (higher than the 2.5 and 2.7 V6). The turbo Legend was created to meet the sub 2 liter market (JDM Taxation and licensing). The rule changed around 1990, so they dropped the turbo.
You can already buy a brand new factory turbocharged Honda at your local dealer for far less than the price of a Civic!
