yea, it does feel like they've been under a rock, what worry's me though, is lets say acura does go the course of bigger/faster/turbo? engines, what will be their price? Acura gives you performance/reliability/technology at a reasonable price, guess we will just have to wait and see, but for how long, acura's theme is "advance" but their the ones who arent doing to much of that.

I got to back up acura a little here. They are not a race car company. They have never made cars known for their 0-60. Acura is more reliabililty, technology, luxery then performance.
As for the Advance comment. Honda/Acura made the S2000..that was a marvel way ahead of the competition w/ the 4 cyl 240hp track monster. Then the SH-Awd...nobody else still has anything like it...so in terms of advance not just 0-60 they are advanced. Yes I agree Acura needs to offer just a little more horsepower..but they are such a "practicle" car company its hard to say which way they are going to go next.

Maybe some of us are jaded by prior rumors, but it sounds like the same old song and dance to me... A couple of years ago it was "we want to be a sportier brand" and still no coupe in the line up...

So if you're looking for an acura coupe, you'd better forget it and hope that honda puts the HF-S into production:

Sure, it's an Honda Accord, but it's the closest thing to a CL in the H/A lineup. It looks like Acura is more interested in making SUV's, Sedans, and Crossovers than making coupes... The NSX is rumored to be delayed again too: http://www.vtec.net/news/news-item?news_item_id=719135

Imo
Being that we are on the Acura forum has a lot to do with it...I mean the Accord Coupe is a nice car, and I agree it's 95%, but I would say there's a LOT to that missing 5%...the little refinements I like to call them. But mostly just the name.
