Acura is simply not diversified enough unlike Audi to create next stage of competition in style and horspower. Japanese do had Electronics advantage untill recently. but that is upstage by superior software skills from Eastern EU especially Russia. You have to look at global picture.


Didnt i predicted that VW will be positioned against MB/BMW in next iteration and Audi will move up the line.
I really doubt that Audi outsources automobile tech to eastern europe, when they have perfectly capable engineers in Ingolstadt, Germany.

The GPS system on the new Audi's was outsourced not to Eastern Europe but to WiPro of India who did all the H/W and S/W design. Although Eastern Europe does do alot of S/W for PC's there is little professional S/W development. It's more known for hacking worldwide than anything else.

Now that you have moved from the A4 to VW, Nissan and back to the A4 and now on to the A6, would you please take your Acura basing to all of the RL owners in the RL forum? It's their turn. Still don't know why you bought a TSX and hang around here.

I said software/Semiconductors. Where do u think that Pentium names come from?. why latest Intel chips are designed by Israeli team?. hydrogen?
where this collision avoidance (does it has anything to do with aerospace) and 7speed auto transmission started?

Dont confuse low end outsourcing with discovery and development of new technologies.
