No A-Spec at Detroit

I just got back from Detroit, where I attended the first public day of the NAIAS. I visited the Acura display, only to be disappointed by finding no A-Spec.

However, the HSC concept (aka next generation NSX) WAS there (pix coming at some point in the next day, though you've all seen pix of it already) and there were crowds around it, as well as the current NSX upstairs.

The Honda SUT concept's styling was overdone, but hopefully the production model will look a little less so.

The TL, by the way, is an excellent road tourer and behaved itself well on this 300-mile round trip. Seats are well-suited to long trips, despite their firmness. My wife attests to this, as well, from the passenger side. The Turanzas also behaved well as the roads were dry. Gas mileage was not so great at 22 mpg, but I expect that in a brand-new car (now 4600 miles).

Bummer, Neuronbob:

I was certain the A Spec would be there after LA. I'm going up next weekend and was hoping to see the black model featured recently in AutoWeek and others. Any must-sees? I would imagine the Chrysler ME412 will attract a mob.

How were the crowds? Last year it was almost intolerable.

Interesting to note your mileage; I picked up my WDP in Atlanta and drove back to Dallas (820 miles) and averaged 29 mpg (not a typo).

The LA autoshow is finishing today, so it looks like they've only got one A-Spec and we got it an you didn't.

It looked nice though.
