Yeah, it's a nice one. I just read Honda's press release and they said that it is V10 with RWD based SHAWD.
Can't wait to see a prototype closer to production... I hope there will be some kind of front grill or small scoop or side vents. They probably wanted to keep this concept clean and didn't go there yet; even the headlights are not final.

Roxors.

Rear visibility may be an issue there. What ever happened to the HSX concept? I thought that thing looked pretty hawt.

[Ryo]

Maybe it uses cameras for side and rear mirrors. Note that there's no side mirrors either. :cool:

[SukairainKupe]

Front engine SH-AWD to replace the NSX!? WTF is wrong with Acura these days? The executive decision making branch of the company appears to be ran by a bunch of middle-aged women who have no clue what sport cars are supposed to be. What is this thing? A GT-R wannabe? We want the HSX concept back.

Acura has to get its balls back and do some serious mojo mining to get back in the game.

I doubt that this car would ever make it to production. It looks too much like a Corvette, but not as good looking. I'm not a big fan of the vette (lookswise), but I must say that this looks like its ugly cousin.

[NSE70]

Ya I also say this car sucks.
It's so old looking.
I'm pretty sure they'll know to make many changes to it.

The Lexus already looks much better than this, and Toyota is still tweaking it.

You're on the right track - this concept looks CADILLAC-ISH.

And that isn't a compliment. :(

Side view is quite nice but the front and front quarter and, to a lesser extent, rear and rear quarter views, are gosh-awful.

The GT-R looks mean, this looks .... space dork supreme.

GT-R = :31:

Advance = :teddy:

P.S. G Nice - thanks for posting the pics. But pretty please, next time put a carriage return between pics so people don't fall off their desk scrolling to the right! Thank you.

Lexus LF-A totally pulvarizes it.

That's too bad they didn't continue with the mid-engine NSX.

[Bumnah]

glad to hear it's a v10 and the shawd should work well. but damn it, i'd much rather have a mid engine rwd replacement! it'd be nice if it was v10 in mid engine layout, but i'll even take a v8 in mid engine!
oh well.
i'll probably buy an nsx anyways :p

[Zed]

Damn. Mr.Okinawa Acura would be rolling over in his grave if their was one. This car crushes all Acura hopeful and enthusiast still lingering. The shear lack of a name for this car tells a lot. And cements the fact Acura STILL is fumbling their original ambitions. Original 2dr Legend, the 2nd gen Integra & 4dr Legend were on point. Now we have TL, EL, RL, blah. Even MDX, but no F1 bloodline NSX? Blah! Sold-out n souless, conformist nomenclature Acura needs legendary products again and cease whoring the Acura name to sell expensive Hondas. Letting Ferrari and Lotus off the hook this easy is a shame too!
