Ok I know this is a pritty dumb post but yesterday I was watching tv and I saw a Castrol Syntec commercial and they had multiple shots of the accord v6 motor with all of its badging removed. Just though I would let you guys know.

 

Isn't the Accord V6 in some GM cars?

 

No.

Some Sterlings (basically rebadged Rovers) were sold in the early 90's with what was then the Acura V6.

 

I saw that too. They also showed a MINI tachometer and what looked to be IS 300 A/C controls.

 

I read online that GM bought a lot of Honda V6's in exchange for Honda to buy some engines from Izuzu, which GM owns 49% of. You can find some info about it online.

 

Tell GM they can have Isuzu back.

 

What are they going to use that in? And where can I not get one?

 

Passport.

 

Oh... I thought they we're talkign about Isuzu engines being used in something... I assumed Honda was trading engines for engines. Also thought this was new news.

No one likes the Honda Pisspoor.

 

the 5-spd passport is very fun to drive though, it has nice torque which makes the car jump.


i've also seen a castrol GTX commercial where they have a 94-95 ex accord drifting in the rain, i think it was that light blue color or beige. it was pretty cool, anyone see that?

 

yes they are.

 

i saw that but i thought it was red??

 

GM couln't make a quality V6 if they tried....that's why they have to buy them from honda. Even Fords Vulcan V6 is better quality wise than GMs

 

A friend of mine used to have a 5spd Rodeo (Passport) with a big shot of NOS and he used to 14.7's, in full trim including the spare in the back! The announcers at the track would call it "world's quickest Isuzu Rodeo"

 

The GM 3800 series V6 is one of the best mass production V6's ever built. Ever.

You're gonna need a prybar to get your foot out of your mouth.
