What gives? Anyone come across any articles or comments by Honda executives as to why?

It proves they can reliably build turbocharged engines, why not spread them across the model line... e.g. TSX Type S or heck, a de-tuned version in an Accord or Civic...or CRV!

Also, turbocharging seems to be a way manufacturers are getting better fuel economy e.g. Ford's Ecoboost system.

They quit producing the turbo in the 2012 RDX, it now comes with a 3.5 V6 in the 2013 which was just released for sale.
