Hi,

People seem a bit hung up on the word 'hybrid' - doesn't mean it's a Prius.

The hybrid drivetrain isn't exactly aiming for fuel consumption numbers though, is it? It's there to increase corner speed/grip potential?

No?

Cheers,
Nik

dam, they really should given 05' a facelift, and a v8... dumbass's at honda think that this fresh design will make a hybrid sell for over 100k... Shoulda done a gtr, twin turbo v6, atleast 500hp, and new design. Cheap? yes. Fast? yes. Although, they should in retrospect push it over 550, to even 600 hp, or give it AWD, cuz damn it was slow on the strip.

i have no interest in japanese supercar. imo, they all fail miserably. true exotics come from italian origin. when copycats cost more than the original, you know you've failed, again.

acura used to be great back in the 90's. today's it is a family car brand. boring.

When the first NSX came out it simply grabbed you by the throat and said "look at me !"....this one doesn't, so disappointing. This car should have been off the charts in the design department...not an R8 up front and an MP4-12C from the rear.

I'm surprised everyone is disenchanted. I think it'll be an amazing car.

It looks like an Acura TL mated with a Camaro. TL front end and Camaro rear. It's not bad....just disappointing. It leaves me wanting something more in the looks department. It really looks kind of like a standard car. Like a next generation Accord or something.
