2010 RL Coupe?

This from Autoweek
Acura Coupe
The $50,000 price range sounds like it may be based on the RL. If it based on the new TL there is going to be a serious bump in TL pricing when the new model arrives.

"We will look at smaller segments," Watts said at the time. "There is potential for a coupe like the CL," which was killed after the 2003 model year. He said a vehicle with a retractable hard top was possible.
Isn't this what you're waiting for?

I'm in the "I'll believe it when I see it" camp as well.

I read yesterday (straight from the Honda mouth) that there will indeed be a new car in the lineup for 2010. it will be released before the NSX replacement. Maybe this is it. I was thinking it was a full sized sedan above the RL but it could be a variant off the RL (coupe, convertible, etc.). Anything's possible and would be welcomed by the dealers

Why would Acura make a coupe version of a sedan that hardly anybody buys?

I think they mean a coupe version of the NEXT model, you know, the one with the V8?

Hopefully a few more people will buy them, from a different demographic than the sedan. Thus they will increase overall sales without spending too much on development costs. But they will need to do a better marketing job ............

For many years there has been a rumor that there would be a sub-NSX coupe offered by Acura... one would think this would be a CL although technically the CL is a coupe version of the TL however it was the only V6 powered coupe in Acura's lineup until it was dropped. The price point was said to be about 60 grand with the NSX falling at almost twice that however VTEC has dropped this from their model matrix:

So... anybody's guess I suppose however I doubt it would be based upon the RL but who knows?

I hear it's not a true coupe, but a 4 door model with a couple like style like the Mercedes CLS model.
