What is the Acura MAV?

For 2003 MotorTrend is noting:

2003 Acura TL: Redesign.

2003 Acura MAV: Displacement bumped, likely to 3.8 liters.

2003 Acura NSX: Japanese super car may receive a V-8 engine.
____________________________________________

What the hell is the MAV? I like the bump in displacement though. Do they mean the MDX?

Just got through reading about it. WOW!! I think I'm giving up my SAAB fetish for one. I didn't really dig that styling until I saw the MAV!

OK so if the MAV is the MDX and it gets a bump in displacement from 3.5 to 3.8 liters, the rumored V8 makes little sense. Or that means that the V8 will be out 2 years from now and now next year. Hmmm...I wonder.

OK guesses for 3.8 liter HP and Torque ratings?

I say, 260HP and 265 lb-ft. What do you say?

Where did you get the info chief? Are those numbers for the 3.8 liter V6 mentioned before, or are they for the rumored V8? Cos the torque number denotes a larger engine than 3.8 liters. Sounds more like 4.3-4.5 liters.

Ha ha or Paterson! So that's why the sun roof only opens so far! So the gun mounts will fit. WOW! I would have never guessed. I need two, one for my 12 and one for my 6.
