Default Honda Turbo Model

I was just wondering how come Honda doesn't come out with a model Si or some other modelcar that comes with a turbo like other car companies have? Wouldn't that make it a better competitor to Mitsubishi's and Subaru sti's?I'm sure Mugen or other Honda affiliates could manufacture a good durable one for their cars.

Do they have one overseas? Just neglect to bring it over to the states?

I was always lead to belive that Honda were all about High output N/A motors with low weight andsmall rolling stock. I may be wrong. which happens very often.

pwnt! lol

Of course Honda could make a Civic turbo, but where would be the fun in that. How many companies can get 200 hp from a 2L n/a engine?
