No, but I'm planning on driving three hours to Detroit next weekend to see the A-spec concept at the NAIAS.

The A-Spec is way too "bling bling" for me, but 300+ hp is awesome.

Okay, I got photo's, but I don't have time to do all the cropping, etc.

I have taken the photos (there are 11 of them) and ZIP'ed them up into one big file that's 18Mb.

The files are 4MPixel images.
They have a reasonable picture of the steering wheel, the rims, the rear spoiler (with camera).

Sorry I didn't have time for better presentation...

Hey Nick, thanks a lot for the zip file. Those pics are awesome. I'm not sold on the car's looks, but boy would I love to take it for a spin on Mulholland Drive.

When you figure out what line to give the sales guy to let you take it for a spin... Let me know; I'll be next in line...

I did like the way that the rear-view camera was integrated above the Acura logo on the rear - kinda looks like a keyhole..

The wheels were pretty, but I'm not sure that it would ever go on sale with those wheels, nor if I would want them (21" rubber gets expensive, and I average 25K+ per year.) The brakes however looked AWESOME.

I tried to show in the photos that both the front and rear bumpers were one solid piece; not a stuck-on option.

Other than the seats; it doesn't look like the changed the interior much.

The steering wheel looked like the insert was carbon fibre; but in the pictures is has more of a wood color. I would really have liked to take better pictures of it, but it was up on a stand and I didn't want to get into trouble. Also, the wife was complaining that she was bored and why did I have to look at this car when I already had one.

The paint looks great in the photos, but in person it was a little too metalic for my taste.

Still, it will be very nice to see how much of this makes it into manufacturing...
