Acura Automobile Division provided a glimpse into the future at the North American International Auto Show today, with the world debut of a futuristic Acura Sports Coupe concept car code named CL-X.

Acura is giving the public an advance look at what will ultimately become a new-made- in America Acura model. 'The CL-X is more than just a styling exercise,' said Rich Thomas, Acura executive vice president. 'The overall styling theme of the CL-X concept car will actually be utilized in an exciting new Acura model that will be designed, engineered and manufactured here in the USA.'

The CL-X concept car was designed exclusively in the USA by a special project team at Honda R&D North America's Los Angeles design studio.

Based on a 'Neo-Classic' design theme, the Acura concept car integrates futuristic styling with classic luxury sports coupe design. The exterior utilizes a strong center character line to compliment a sculpted wedge design.

The high-fashion interior features specially contoured seating for each occupant and accentuates the driver-oriented aspect of the sports coupe by featuring wrap-around instrumentation and center console with a special command center for interior functions.

Designed on a 106.9-inch wheelbase and 63.2-inch tread width, the CL-X also features special carbon fiber and aluminum composite wheels, 18' front and 19' rear, to enhance styling while improving cornering capabilities.

Keeping with Acura's luxury image, the CL-X features a full compliment of luxury amenities, convenience features and safety appointments.

The CL-X concept car is just one of several new Acura vehicles to be introduced during the coming months. 'Acura's future is very bright,' according to Thomas. 'During the next 18 months, we will introduce several exciting new models which will ensure Acura's position as the number-one luxury import nameplate in the country.'

i forgot the username, but somebody here has it on their avatar.

 

 

hahah
that looks so much like cars today

 

cool car id total it in a heart beat

 

it really is a sexy lookin CL. im sure it would be pretty interesting to see in person, specially for a 95 model heh.

 

those headlights remind me of the new lexus ES

 

no joke that car looks a little like the new eclipse from the side

 

any pics of back?

 

I wish our cars looked like that

 

10+ years ahead of its time...

 

Id bloackhouse that
anyone?

 

pre-concept concept of the concept car heh.

 

whats up with the bad haircut

 

Wow, these are new to me.

 

back then the car wouldnt fit in...too futuristic for for the 90's but now the car look like a 2006 design. thats what Acura gets for trying to be to damn smart.

 

Now all the new hondas look like older acuras too

 

this design should be the new NSX. BTW, i was at the Acura dealer, and the saleman there told me that their discontinuing the RSX and coming out with a 2dr TSX. anybody heard that rumor? TSX coupe, that be sweet.

 

yeah my cousin who has a tsx told me the same thing i think they were talking about doing it next year.

 

yeah, that rsx and tsx rumour could be true...i was looking at the vtec website http://vtec.net/modelmatrix/

i think a TL coupe would look sick too

 

I can definitley see the styling cues that they put copied over. The windos, hood lines, grill and headlights definitley resemble our CL. I think i've seen a picture of the back where it was curvey like the CL aswell.

 

I believe the Cl was the coupe of the TL but was discontinued because of low sales

 

"The high-fashion interior features specially contoured seating for each occupant and accentuates the driver-oriented aspect of the sports coupe by featuring wrap-around instrumentation and center console with a special command center for interior functions."

Damn. That sounds nice.

This thing would have been a beast if it were introduced to the market. Only thing it seems to be missing is a couple rocket launchers.

I wonder what the next Acura coupe will look like.
