acura needs something to fill the gap between the rsx and nsx. I would love to see them incorporate the current NSX's 3.2 litre dohc motor with a new coupe. 300 plus horses, all wheel drive, 0-60 in 5.0 - 5.5 quater mile in 13.2-13.5. Would be an awesome gap filler.

Jim’s post doesn’t warrant a reply. I’ll just bookmark this thread and then give it a bump after the press release.
His info is just as accurate as others claim they get from the dealers.

Acura can pull it off. They shocked the world with the Legend. They only need to do one thing.



Bring back the Legend Coupe!

I stapled a 1,000 dollar check to a color printout of that photochopped RL that’s been floating around here and sent it to Acura.
So whenever they build it, I’m first in line……………

They will come out with a coupe again. THink about it. G35c and 350Z just came out and both of those companies didnt have shit before that. Give them time, there is a demand for the coupe still.

Sir, I notice you get quite worked up about things like this...why? And if you hate them so much, why do you bother reading...?

Relax...! If and when Honda makes a coupe, then we'll pass judgment, yes? Why all this rage about people speculating? What's the harm in it?

The 'mini MDX' was announced a while ago.

Acura is going to release an Acura-ized version of the CR-V in MY2007. This is not new news. I recall this from last summer when I was looking for cars in the mini-SUV class. This class is missing a luxury or pseudo-luxury model.

I'm guessing no V6, but just the leather seats, navi, and other interior adornments.

Full time AWD and a V6 will really make this model competitive, we can hope and ...but with Honda's current implementation of AWD (on the CR-V - not a well respected system) and an underpowered I4 putting out HP/TQ in the mid 100s, then ho hum.

i honestly think acura should start to separate the line between Honda/Acura. There should NOT be any car less than 35k in Acura line.

haha.

Yah zapata honestly tho. There is nothing to do with WHAT I DRIVE. ( ARE YOU ON UR PERIOD OR SOME SHIT?)
I said the SAME THING when i had my CLS. Acura is supposed to be the upper level of HONDA just like lexus, infiniti .. I DIDNT SAY ANYTHING about bmw and benz.
i think right now Acura/Honda is all mixed up and that is going to bring down the image of ACURA...
What is the point of Acura when Price, quality, looks, CUSTOMER SERVICE are all the same shit as Honda?

Its a little hard to believe acura will be coming out with a new coupe soon considering they canceled the car. If one was on the horizon they would have let the cls ride it out. Will probably be last on the list now- new suv, new rsx, maybe some hybrids to match lexus, awd models, then a cl coupe.

I'd imagine the new couple would be at least 3 years away -- unless they're on top of the AWD thing.

They better not put out another FWD coupe just so every magazine can say, "It's a lot of car for the money--but it's front wheel drive, so the dated 180HP 325Ci beats it."

Well, the 350Z and G35 are selling well, more than anything, the cars are LOOKERS, no matter if u like em or not. Coupes gotta stand out, especially with sedans just as fast or faster. Lexus will have the IS coupe out next year and looking at the concept LF-C, it will be love or hate but dynamic.

Acura just needs to put some balls in the styling, an Acura coupe will sell.

Oh and a Acura badged CR-V is an embarresment to being called a luxury anything. That is pathetic. WOrse than the SAAB 9-7x which is a freaking Trailblazer.

The CR-V is good little car. To make a higher quality version under acura would sell like hotcakes the way people (specially women) are buying little sport utes.

Hey cool another thread of unsubstantiated rumors given to customers by sales personnel.

Yes, there are plans for a smaller Acura SUV. Yes the next NSX comes out next year. Yes, there will be a hybrid RL, likely for MY06. The TL should offer AWD in MY06 as well, and then hybrid power in MY07 (each one year behind the RL offering those features).

There is NO talk about a new coupe of any sort for Acura right now. Sorry.
