This engine is a Turbofan, does this mean Honda can now be classed as using turbos on their vehicles?

Honda already had some turbocharged production cars, just not available for sale in the United States.

I think they also have a turbo 4 cylinder on one of their wave runners as well.

They also used a turbo V6 in some of the early Legend Sedans in Japan.

I suppose he was referring to turofan's, not turbocharged, and assume in a joking manner.

Not suprising that Honda would jump into the market, as there are many personal biz jets in the $1 mil area that will shorty be gaining FAA approval. Many of these jets are using something like the Williams FJ33-4, which are backed up with awesome service obligations by the manufacture, like all maintenance included in the cost of the jet. Not suprising that Honda would enter the market. Again, I assume the car part was a joke of sorts.
