For Honda/Acura Lovers *Nick you might wanna look at this*

Thanks for sharing Alex. That looks like the civic's counterpart in the Acura line-up, no?
 
I'm sitting here looking at it and every angle is interesting. Can't quite place my finger on what it exactly reminds me of.
 
Alex,

I've been hitting the F5 button non-stop every night at midnight since the NAIAS started a couple days ago. This new concept from Acura sure is a looker and I'm confident the production model will stay true to the concept's design. :dblthumb2:
 
I honestly like it. The new acura's look like beavers in my eyes with the front grill piece. But that looks pretty good. That redesigned front bumper makmes all the difference.
 
I love the way this looks. This will definitely come out for sure.

I honestly love the new TSX but I hate the new TL's style. I think its just so far off and weird. This is definitely going to change the way I look at new Acuras!

Thanks for sharing Alex.
 
The 2011 TSX is growing on me...I don't like the TL's past 2010. They keep changing the nose and it just doesn't appeal to me how the 2010's and 11's looked...those model TL's looked like tanks and I LOVED em.

I agree with Trent in that the front of this new ILX makes all the difference. And for once...the rear of a car is attractive to me. Its SLICK!!!

And I think you're right Nick...I think the production will definitely stay true. If anything, they'll change the rims.

The new NSX is pretty sweet too!

As much as i like the new look of the nsx, i almost feel like that "sports car" should have died in peace. They should have made a new one. With the death of the nsx in 05 and the s2k, I think an entirely new car should have been made. Then again, I think the nsx was an overpriced POS. I drove a few at the stealerships. They have way too much body roll and such a high roll center/ CoG that they're not fun. 90k for a slow car in the straights and turns? No thanks, I'll buy a 70k skyline that is faster and purpose built 10x better than the nsx.

I would love for them to make an NSX again. The one in the link looks very similar to an Audi R8 with Lamborghini body lines
 
Alex, I really like the 3rd gen TL's... They look so sweet and elegant at the same time.

Alot of people say exactly what you just said about the NSX. I honestly don't think they'll bring the NSX back. They're having trouble keeping their flagship RL afloat. IF they bring the NSX back it will definitely be limited.

First thing I thought about was the lambo.

I do too...and I was originally going for the TL prior to getting the TSX. I don't like the 12' TL though. They're flattening them out too much.

Looks like a TSX......lol. I'm a little under-whelmed. Acura/Honda used to have some really cool cars and kind of push the limits a little (Type-R, etc.), now I think they play it safe.

Yea thats because people are generally much lazier now and want creature comforts. Sadly, cars are moving toward technology and hybrids. It'll be the death of driving for fun at some point. Very few cars are coming out that are made to be "the drivers car". Not like they used to anyway.
 
I love my 3G TL. It's hard to find another car that has similar performance, looks and gas mileage IMO. I will be looking at this new ILX though, I would be very interested in the MPG.
 
yeah I am too. How is your car on mileage? I heard the TL's suck as far as gas mileage goes.

Umm the fact that Subarus aren't supposed to be rwd? Ruining what subaru built their company on. I understand business has to evolve but I can't bring myself to buying a RWD subaru.
