My position has always been: if you're building a car that will be used mostly sub/urban driving, the Suzukiclones will kick Honda's butt, particularly if you're open to using pulse & glide.
Cruising on the open road however, a lean burn VX will dominate.
Unless of course you are going to aeromod the @#(*$ out of the Suzukiclone.
But then you could do the same thing to the Honda VX-engined whatever and be that much more efficient. It appears basjoos is leaning towards putting a VX motor into the Aerocivic, at which point it will be so ridiculously efficient on the highway that his gas gauge will move backwards, and he will have to periodically drain stale fuel from his tank.
But Mullet is right: XFi drivetrains and Metros are going to return to silly prices when the price of oil goes through the roof again.
