Does anyone suspect any last minute surprises with the US battery specs? Seeing as Detroit is just around the corner and it should bare all details about the US specs on the car - time to make your guesses!

I truly believe (or maybe I am just dreaming) that they will officially announce an SI version along with the base model we have already seen in brochures.

It wouldn't be difficult for them to keep under wraps; it would look virtually identical to the one in the brochure, so as long as they don't release any literature on it then we would have no idea.

160HP DOHC VTEC K-Series motor mated to the 14hp/57tq IMA. 30mpg if you thrash it, 40mpg if you go easy on it. Again, maybe I am just dreaming.

Afraid if I make any predictions I will jinx it like at Tokyo so I'll just remain quiet until Monday with high hopes
