I'm sure they think they'll get more luxo-sports car buyers or something but that kind of buyer tends to be a brand snob. Why cater to them when they could engineer the car for maximum performance and reap all of the resultant fanfare and accolades. That is really the only way you'll convince the F-Car and P-Car driving rich guys that the Acura is worth it.l33t Mr2 Wrote:if its not MR an automobile god just died
They're not calling it an NSX, and most of us cant afford one... as much as I'd like to see another mid-engined supercar from Honda, they arent going to care if a bunch of 20-somethings are throwing temper-tantrums on their keyboards about the car.
They'll have to really hit this one out of the park if they're gonna go the AWD GT route. I'm not getting my hopes up.
Someone on one of the blog sites looked up the license plate of this test mule and its registered as having a 5 liter engine. Encouraging news, hopefully they're aiming for truly prodigious output rather than settling on the status quo 500 hp in that segment.
