Have you ever wanted to get the inner scope of Honda's R&D department? The auto maker opened up its research and development facility over in Japan, and representatives from top Honda Dealers across the US and Canada, including Peters Honda of Nashua in Nashua, NH, were there to see what the future will bring. 

To start with, the Japanese automaker proudly displayed their Honda Accord with fuel-savings Atkinson Cycle engine. The ingenius thechnology in this vehicle allows for the car to remain powerful, withou the loss of torque, the engine range will span from 1.0 to 2.4 -liter, and maybe even include a 3.5-liter V6. 

Vehicles powered by a new 148-horsepower, 1.8-liter were also present, which may find a home in a mid-cycle version of Honda Civic for 2012. This car successfully used ten percent less fuel than its predecessor. 

Honda also revealed another Civic, powered by an intensely powerful yet small 1.6-liter turbo diesel engine. 

A concept 'Accord-size sedan' was also welcomed to the Twin-Ring Motegi race track in Japan. It came with a V6 sending 310 horsepower and 265 lb.-ft. of torque to the vehicle's front end, with a pair of electric motors powering the rear. Honda is certainly going to have something for everyone in the near future.
