Quick question: What is WDP and NBP?

I think it has something to do with the color of the TL but I'm not sure and I couldn't find anything using the forum search option.

 

White Diamond Pearl? (THis is beatiful color.)
Nighthawk Black Pearl? (very shiny black) I believe

Basically means white and black.

sorry....lol

not really a fan of the color so never really cared to even know the real name

 

You guys are forgetting the ever-popular ATA, which stands for Addicted To Acurazine.

 

Don't forget the BEST color:

RBP - Royal Blue Pearl

 

I can't believe no one explained WTF in their list

I mean, WTF?

 

when people trade in their old cars for new and they say something like WOT, what does that mean?


sang

 

Without Trade? Doesn't seem to apply here but it's all I can think of for WOT.

 

How about TL?
RL?
TSX?
etc.

Do they stand for anything?

 

I remember reading that MDX meant "Multi dimensional luxury". So along those lines I'd guess :

TL = Touring Luxury
TSX = Touring Sport Luxury
RL = Refined Luxury
CSX = Compact Sport Luxury
RSX = Racing Sport Luxury

All guesses on my part! Any input?

 

Wasn't there something in the 3G Garage about what the Acura abreviations stood for?

 

And yes, there is something in the 3G Garage explaining the Acura abbreviations...and if I remember correctly, they actually mean nothing.

 

Aspec?

 

The "TL, RL, TSX, RSX, MDX" names mean nothing. There was an article on this back in the day and that's what a Honda executive said.
