you must be dreaming, snap back to reality!

 

fail

 

Love these threads.

 

Believe it when I see it.

 

Yes.

 

Acura likes coupes about as much as I like colonoscopies. They're quickly becoming Saab or Volvo, makers of niche semi-luxury cars.

Go be a Lexus/Infiniti/BMW fanboi ... its much more rewarding, and none of us will give you much grief for it.

 

OP: put down the bong

 

ok..ok sorry guys. don't kill me. stupid thread.

 

I would like to add to the list:

February 2010 Chicago: NSX Super-Type-R-SH - 5.5L V10TT, 800+hp with 400hp DD mode. 10,500 rpm redline, 6MT (with regular clutch) + dual-clutch full auto mode, RWD with on-demand AWD mode. ~3000 lbs. 245/35R18 / 305/30R19. 0-60: 2.5 sec in AWD mode. 1/4 mile: 9.8 @ 144 with special AWD+RWD mode: AWD for the launch; the system switches to full RWD once traction is fully available. Nurburgring in 7:09, 7:16 wet. Top Speed 238 mph (limited). Lateral accel: 1.01g. Economy: 24/41 using variable power modes and automatically programmed economy modes.

thanks,

 

Acura if they don't change their lineup and add more excitement will turn into what Cadillac in the 90s was, cars for old geezers.

 

i would like to see all that but 1 year ago..

 

puff puff give

 

do you work with 2009TSXisHere ?

 

The sad reality is that IF they were to do all of that by 2010 (which there is 0 chance) it will only put them on par with their CURRENT competition...

 

acura isn't the new subie; i doubt they will offer SH-AWD on that many models..

they still have a fairly good market with people believing FWD is superior in the winter

 

 

Zing!

 

i dont know what is funnier.... RSX? or 260 HP? or AWD??

 

That plus a TSX-S in 2008? Keep dreaming. IF we get one, I bet it doesn't arrive till the MMC like the TL.

 

i think you guys scared 2009TSXisHere away.

 

It's okay to dream .... but very unlikely for it to take place in real life ....

Don't get me wrong, I've been a die-hard Acura guy & 3 of them so far ... but the excitement is wearing thin & I might jump ship if they don't have anything out soon to catch my attention ...

 

 

 

are we still going to have oil by 2011?

 

Yeah, but it'll probly cost half a nut at that point...

 

I think so too. Poor gal. Didn't know what she was getting into here, I don't think.

As much as none of us likes to see sales people come one here and spew "dealer spam," I think we need to let up a little bit. She seemed to be enthusiastic about stuff.

 

I heard that Acura is coming out with new 100000 hp RWD car next year.

 

Sorry, krio, but....pass the dutchie 'pon the left hand side.....

 

 

bob close this thread please... enough.

 

lol sorry man.

 

I'll lock it for you, krio.

The comments are not really directed at you, krio......don't take them so personally...many of us Acura enthusiasts have simply lost confidence in Acura's ability to deliver what we want in a luxury car, so while your list is great, the likelihood that Acura will actually do anything remotely like what you suggest is....well, remote.

I, for one, am frankly more enthusiastic about Honda than about Acura right now.
