I had one as a loaner once. As a person who grew up with bargain basement Chevys and considered the TSX the most upscale car I would personally buy, I loved the RLX. It's a great car on its own.

The problem, of course, is almost everything else in its class is significantly better in every way, and the TLX is a better Acura for significantly cheaper.

Stay tuned for yet another anxiously awaited press release and 10 pager on how super duper the intercooler ducting and radiators are.

Agreed. And Acura needs to start getting serious about taking design cues from the NSX.

They won't, though.

The minimal "power plenum" on the NSX should be the language hence forth.

It's almost as if the wacky SoCal design team keeps trying to up the absurdity. Example: see 2016 RDX MMC for plenum maximus ludicrous.

Yeah, I don't like it either. if the front looked exactly like the NSX, I think all the models would look great.

Well, here is what you'll find under the hood. Angle is not good to see everything but there are some clues.

Does VP stand for Vapor Person?

October.........., just in time for 1/2 the country to put it away for the winter. Great timing. This thing should have been ready for a spring/summer launch

Lets just hope this launch goes a lot better than the launch they had for the SH-AWD RLX. Where cars were sitting at port for months and availability past 2014 is still in question. Will there or won't there be a 2016 model? Let's hope the NSX makes it to year 2.

And yes, you can! Here's what you do (and what I do):

1. Close your eyes.
2. Stretch your arms out in front of you.
3. Bend those arms a bit (don't be so tense, dammit).
4. Clench your hands like you're gripping a steering wheel.
5. Make vroom-vroom noises.
6. Make the odd screech noise.
7. Imagine the hawt chick (i.e. Natalie Portman, Kate Beckinsale, BoostedJack's wife, and etc.) in the passenger side.
8. Take your right hand off the imaginary steering wheel.
9. Pretend to grab imaginary hawt-chick's bewb. Just beacuse.








Hope that helps!

No you idiot. It's made for outer space. The vacuous world of space travel.

My NSX is waiting in a factory near Columbus, Ohio. I would have it by now, but the hybrid battery they put in it is delayed until December 20-IDGAF.

In the April 2015 C&D magazine there is an article about the "25 Cars Worth Waiting For".

Guess where the NSX is listed?



It's not.
