Car industry predictions for the next decade:
1. Mazda brings back Mazdaspeed (or rebrand as MSR, which would be a big miss). They will take the CX-70 RWD based platform with the longitudinal 3.3t I6, and make a longitudinal , AWD Mazdaspeed 6 to compete with BMW, Acura, Cadillac, and now Dodge (hurricane). Probably auto only.
2. Toyota puts their boosted V8 in the Lexus F cars (and 500s).
3. Honda reveals a boosted V8 and an improved turbo 6, and an e-turbo V3 for bikes, and a larger odd number V engine for cars, maybe in place of a new turbo 6, like a V5. Maybe they won't invest in the odd Vs, but they are working on something BIG in secret, I smell it. Like new S2000 big, S2030 or something.
4. Dodge shifts the Charger to be electric only and creates a new Challenger that is gas only.
5. GM invests a huge amount of money in the LF3 twin turbo V6 so it can match the output of the Hurricane motor from Dodge. They release a Chevy version of the Cadillac CT4. They might release a new turbo 4 to compete with the EA888 and K series.
6. Ford releases a new Ford GT with over 1000 HP, RWD only, like the corvette ZR1.
7. Ford brings back a hot hatch, the market shits itself.
8. Dodge releases a new Viper to compete with the GR GT, Corvette ZR1, and whatever Ford comes out with.
9. Nissan eliminates the Z line, and brings back the GT-S. R36 flops hard unless they launch it with a GT-S
Bet 50 sats on it, at least 5 predictions will come true.

I predicted the new Toyota V8, I wish I could prove it
Honda does not like V8s.
A 3L boosted V6 S2K would be rad, but about a decade behind a friend of mine who did a supercharged J35 swap in his S2K.
Stupid fun.
I had a J35Z3 in my accord, really wanted to boost it. Its not as easy as their 4cyls.
Maybe no V8 but they are sitting on something insane for sure. Maybe it's just a built 3.0t from the type s (like 550+hp).
Then again Honda hates making money so we will see 😭 Like they should mass produce the Type R instead of gatekeeping to artificially inflate demand.
