Vaporcar...nothing to see. And just watch...just as they reveal some awesome engine stats that everyone is happy about...they cancel the car citing poor economy or bad weather or something.

I apologize for swearing at you earlier, must have had a bad day in the mail room - you're still my boy blue.

Would like to take one for a spin though before deciding if its a contender. Besides, says I still need to leg hump the Power Plenum a bit more to earn a promotion out of unloading body bags.

Now, please excuse me while I go drop a in the Poopdick McFartington thread.

^^ gotcha, not that commercial makes sense......just like Acura having Bette Midler singing Christmas songs sells lots of Acuras, the same way having not so known athletes undress and dress in a commercial sells lots of Acuras.

....or the 2014 MDX tagline: "Designed for mankind."

I sure hope it's designed for mankind! What else could it be designed for?

Honda/Acura do have some of the most bizarre, and flat out stupid marketing for their commercials.

I liked the commercial

car was on a dyno which is connected to a generator, converting motion into electricity which is heating the water in the kettle....

they want to show it revs soo high that it is actually "supporting" sooo many kettles....

now I hope the NSX redlines at 9K or higher....

...because we all want our supercars to show that they can convert electricity into heat/steam.

Honda teh crazy!!!

Memo to Honda: We want SEX on wheels! We want to see this thing scream around the track, not power tea kettles.

Pass the pipe, yo!

Oh, they will. It'll likely by a V18 or something amazing...RWD...probably destroy the Poopdick McFartington or Zonda on the road...


BUT, Honda will then cancel it on the last split-second blaming solar flares or some other cockamamie excuse.

"New Acura NSX Will Rival Ferrari at a Porsche Price"

Honda is currently hard at work prepping the all-new Acura NSX for its triumphant return to market. At the debut of the NSX Concept at the Detroit Auto Show last January, we were given a very clear preview as to what the new supercar will look like. In addition, Honda was very open about the NSX’s hybrid technology and advanced all-wheel drive system. Performance, however, is what we’re all anxious to know more about.

For now, however, Honda is keeping mum regarding details, but the car’s development chief recently stated that "We’re looking for the excitement of the [Ferrari] 458 at the price of the [Porsche] 911, and we think the hybrid technology can help us achieve that." If that’s the case, then the NSX could potentially be one of the most serious rivals of the 458 to date. Honda engineers, however, are still putting a major focus on handling and driver satisfaction, "qualities you can’t write down...but are the ones that will matter."

"excitement" of the 458.....not the performance?

"Price of a 911" Which 911? That's a $100 grand range from bottom to top.

Agreed. The whole quote strikes me as executive puffery.
