Hi,
Thank you for asking----current generatiom tyurbo chargers are 3rd or 4th generation----.
As for technology---Honda is a decade ahead of technology from other brands---.
What others gained with turbo charging---honda gained with VTEC engines---. What BMW and audi were getting with turbo chargers---Honda was getting similar or better horsepower with its VTEC naturally aspirated technology---.
The reason you see so many cars being turbo charged---is because of the U S laws about gas consumptions---EPA.
Like the all wheel drive on the current aidi's and bmw's and most other highline cars---in its current form---Honda used it on its Acura line models---and called it SH All wheel drive---which was Super Handling AWD----and they started it in 2006----.
Merces---BMW and Audi came out with similar concept some 7-8 years later---.
ACE body construction----honda gave its design for free to all the world auto manufacturer because it provided with more safety for the passengers--- mercedes---bmw---audi---ford--chev---toyota---chrysler---were amongst the benefactors---.
Mastan Bhai,
Which car would you suggest for a Pakistani consumer if he has to choose between Audi A3, Honda Civic turbo, and BMW. The honda is cheapest of them all and as far as I can understand from your convo, its the cheapest to maintain as well.
