Thus, Ito meant not only the classical scheme as that, but the concrete configuration which was expected from Honda throughout several years, namely a back drive in a combination to the 8-cylinder engine. V8 it is definitively deleted from company plans, at least on the foreseeable future. Instead Honda sees the purpose development of hybrid installations on the basis of 4-cylinder both 6-cylinder V-shaped engines and equipment of the wide list of models by them: not only compact, but also concerning larger and even the full-size. Will accent similar schemes in a combination to a full drive. In other cases the preference will be given front-wheel configurations.
