Here it is...

 

Too bad it didn't really look like that. Aside from the goofy looking wheels, I think it looks outstanding. Very racey/spaceship like.

 

I don't remember that thread but I do remember the PS I did.

 

nice work there, Michael Knight.

 

Ha! I just got a new background pic!

 

i was about to do the same.
maybe santa will hand you his hat for christmas............when he's about to go down on your girl.

jk chris

 

thx

 

Lucky for me, I'm single! Stupid Santa!

 

All CLs and their engines were manufactured in Ohio, the transmissions came from Japan. Honda's Anna engine plant builds the most reliable product in the world.

Transmission are now built in Ohio at the Indian Lake plant. The new Southern Honda facility will be mfg. gears for US built transmissions.

The NSX is alive and will be powered by a V-10.

Don't hold your breath for a new CL.

 

Here's a Jp car mag rendition of the a coupe after the new RL came out.

 

^ yeah that's the article/thread i was referring to. didn't someone translate it into saying that they were putting a v8 into it? unless my memory fails me..

 

Yeah, I would look forward to something with this kind of overall shape, rather than the textbook "car" of the 90's shape we currently have.

 

I dunnot about anybody else, but that looks like a V6 to me.

 

What kinda rims are these ??

 

I don't know but I got them from this photo.

 

hmm, why would acura put info out about the 2006 nsx...strange

 

oh yea,

 

Got a link to an article as proof ??

Current version of the NSX is done... Goto acura.com and look at the models... Every model is a 2006, EXCEPT the NSX... it's a 2005 (gotta clear out the leftovers).

This article says AROUND 2008... (v10, blah, blah).

http://www.autoweek.com/news.cms?newsId=102981

Vtec/net's model matrix says... http://vtec.net/modelmatrix/

"Production of the current model ceases at the end of 2005" and in the "2008 and beyond" column it says "V-10 power" for the NSX...

Where is the 2006 NSX model info that acura put out ??

 

well hot damn!! i was wrong, sorry dudes....that sux though

 

I have had my 2001 CLS for three years now. It now has 145,000 miles on it. I drive the car like I stole it. I travel from NH to MA everyday for work - all interstate. Atleast once a day, if not 5-6 times, I run the car in third gear from 65-110 (one of my favortie things in life is the type-s accelerator) to pass all the Massholes that do not understand the concept of the fast lane, and then carry on excellerating until traffic intervenes. Not once have I ever had a problem with the transmission, brakes yes, I go through those like hot cakes, but nothing with the transmission.
As far as the comments about the customer service go, I have had experience with both good and bad dealerships. The service department that I go to is top rate and they bend over backwards to accomidate my schedule, even giving me a loaner over night for a simple oil change and broken heat shield. I guess it is too bad that all dealerships can't be like that.

 

You must be rubbing someone the right way or are very charming and bring them liquor or chocolates! ( I read on the bimmer forums of a guy that does this when his 6 coupe is serviced).
My dealer couldn't even change my oil right, they comped it for me but still, incompetent. Hard to trust them. As far as a loaner for an oil change, man they'd still be laughing over that one.

 

Well my dealership has idiots for saleman, but the service dept is
They are mod freindly and will give me a loaner anytime I ask.

Also for this thread, the main thing you should be looking for on a new acura coupe is that they actually make it. I doubt its ever gonna happen

 

it looks like a hybrid pussy car that tops out at 40mph

 

If they don't produce it before the new Lexus IS coupe, new BMW 3 coupe, or the revised Infiniti G coupe then Acura might as well forget it. I think all these will be big sellers, esp the BMW coupe, out in June I think.

I definitely think there will be a new premium Acura coupe but it's taking too long.

 

fuck acura-no horsepower, shitty generic buick-esque styling = no more acuras for me.

 

???
I have plenty of HP. Now styling, I'll give you, but I think the new TL is a styling success, and hopefully a new coupe would get the same approach. The RL styling is bland I agree.

I've stayed with Acura coupes (Legends and CLS) for value, features, and reliability. The Germans and Infiniti can't match that IMO and Toyota offers nothing similar in a coupe.

Interesting, interesting...

 

Acura is lacking in the horsepower wars by a long shot. They don't have a single V8 in their line-up either. Almost every other manafacturer has V8s somewhere in their line-up, yet Honda refuses to use V8s. The RL should have had an option for one, they even refuse to use them in their trucks! While the coupe shouldn't have one, they're definitely gonna have to bump up the horsepower to compete with the rest of the market.

And in terms of features, the germans have been light years in front of Honda forever. Yea, they don't have the value or the reliability though.

 

OK......anyone here from Detroit or going to Detroit?
