Yup its that time again.
To support the best designer of Honda's and Acuras in North America, your job is to provide Neal's latest with the best matched drive train before his proposal goes to management for approval.
Are you going with 4 or 6 cylinders?
Naturally aspirated, Turbo, or Hybrid?
Stick or auto. If Auto, 5 sp, 6sp, 8 sp or CVT?
Conservative or advanced?
Its all up to you now. Give it your best shot!

I'd say a 2.0L turbo with 215hp/230 lb-ft
6 spd manual, or optional 6 spd dual clutch
I kind of miss the motor in my 06 Audi A3. Nice and tourquey.
Standard engine, 2.0L with 170 hp

Fantasy?
K24 + 6MT SH-AWD.
Or possibly the K23. Tough call.

If they made this and didn't go completely nuts with the pricing, it would be my next car. Unless the 2013 Accord sedan is as awesome as I hope it will be...
Given that I'm a big hatchback fan from way back, Neal's "Tourer" would be ideal. From the reviews so far, it sounds like it would be nice to have a somewhat firmer suspension as well.
I'd just need to figure out how to get my SO to learn to drive stick... ;)

^Yep. Any Honda hatch (minus ZDX and CrossTour) has always been an instant win with me.

I'd have two different powertrains:
-2.0L Inline-4 w/ 6-Speed Auto
-1.8L Turbo 4 w/ 6-Speed Manual OR Auto
