I think the car needs a larger and stronger engine.
122HP is great for new drivers like me, but for traditional Honda owners, the Accord that has a base engine of 190HP makes them feel slow... This would compromise fuel economy though. Maybe a larger battery? |

Dreams that will never happen:
Moon Roof Lithium Ion battery New navi/radio programming, to be interactive like an Android Phone, but as the stock radio My friend wants to see the Acura TL SH-AWD engine in it...(I'm happy with what it has now) Dreams that may come true: Seat heaters, but no leather LED DRLs Different High Performance All Season tires |

A real horn. would that be too much to ask for?
It's hard enough to be taken seriously when your roof comes up to a pedestrian's armpit, without sounding like a Matchbox toy!

We're talking MMC? This is my forecast.
1. One additional color. 2. A NAV unit from 2008, rather than 2001. 3. New rims. Same size, just different design. 4. New tail lens. 5. Revised grille and rear diffuser inserts. 6. A seat-mounted guide for the shoulder belt. 7. New shifter knob for 6mt. 8. Heated leather with EX Nav model. 9. Modest engine re-tune (for roughly 6 hp). 10. +1 mpg for hwy rating. 11. +$700 to the MSRP. |

I'm thinking a bigger electric motor and li battery for a more turbo charged feel.
possibly an option for a slightly larger gas engine. Stock arm rest. leather would be great. But I'd settle for a real horn. just cursing with the windows shut seems to be more effective. |

I'm not an expert, but I don't think adding more battery will help. Without a way to accumulate more electricity via regenerative braking, having more battery isn't going to do any good. Faster discharge of power from the battery is probably the best we can get from the electric side of the IMA. Using ultra-capacitors instead of (or in addition to) the battery is the closest we've seen.
