I will always be a Honda fan, love the Accord, but yet, the alpine is more of a unique car (and even more fuel efficient due to the turbo I believe ). Simply because the engine is aspired and the power of it is "natural" I prefere the Honda and I believe that on the Test track, with some adjustments (if there are needed) the Honda will beat the Alpine.
The Alpine will have a lack of torque at some point, while the Honda will always have maximum power and torque (almost).
Anyway, nice comparison ...... Honda fan !!!


Here are some other photos related to the Alpine; Enjoy :





The Alpine is sexy... I have to admit ; and I would like to have one of those .....

The Alpine is gorgeus!
