Honda won't have a problem. It's first and foremost an engine manufacturer. I reckon Honda only started making cars so there was a mechanism to sell their excellent 4 cylinder petrol units.
Honda makes agricultural engines from massive diesels to little tiny two strokes for commerical mowers/strimmers etc. Also they make millions of static engines for generators of all sizes, pumps etc.
I remember driving one of the first 2.2i VTEC Preludes to hit the UK in 1997. Smooth yes. Quiet: not especially. Torquey: not a diesel kind of a way. BUT - who cares when it'll rev it's little head off all the way to 8800rpm. You could do over 80mph in SECOND!!
