Oh well....
Judging from the success of the Celica, RSX, Mazda 3, etc the front strut
can't be all that bad. It's serious business trying to make a compact strut
design as capable as a double wishbone. Perhaps this time round, Honda got
it right. (I wonder how well it'd do while making a highspeed u-turn, coming
off a curb with the wheels fully cranked and then planting the power as soon
as the wheel hits the ground....I know for a fact that the double wishbone
up front makes you look like a prow)
