Tony Stark switches to an Acura for the Avengers!

Check out this new Acura convertible Tony Stark uses for the upcoming Avengers movie. Looks sweet to me. The saved image has the name tumblr on them, but I hope that's not the actual name.

Good question. I guess it's his daytime car...lol. Or they were in a rush with this concept that they didn't have time to incorporate it in the design.

That was one of the first thing that came to my mind.

It looks kind of small. Especially with him sitting in it. Anyways, I like it.

To each their own I guess...

But just to make sure, are we talking about the same photos? Because the ones above in this thread are beautiful.

i love Acura, but that car is ugly as FUCK

they really couldve done a better design for a big screen motion picture like the avengers.

Stark should be driving out in an HSV-10, at the least

Maybe it's not an Acura at all... The "A" is for Avengers.

I don't like the silver stripe that runs across the entire front, nor the exhuast placement/shape. Wonder where the headlights will be...?

I'd like to see what the interior looks like.

I like the car, however it does look unfinished.They should of used a car that they could of put into production, just like Audi did.

The headlights would probably be where the shield stretches out. It is weird to not see actual headlights though. Stupid idea to do this and not actually produce a sports car. i think it just pisses off the acura enthusiasts

yeah and this is a big slap in our face. The fact that people have been demanding an nsx or something similar (s2k at least) and we get a zdx. Then they make this and tell us its only for a fantasy world

They stated this car is just a prototype and not something that will go into production?

I see your argument based on the design features, however, if you take the time to read into the story Autoblog posted, Acura spokesperson Gary Robinson, stated it was a one-off production for the film. Information is knowledge friend!

they can say whatever they want it could be one-off production model of body but everything under could be R8... unless we dont have under the hood pics we can only argue about it... the true is when i first time saw this picture i though about R8 and you never know

He's full of shit. Acura doesn't have a running chassis to build that car on ... So where did it come from?

Bottom line is they took a R8, stripped the body off it and put some ridiculous Japanese body on it and an Acura badge. Since Acura signed the exclusive marketing for the SuperFriendsLeagueofJusticeHall movies they couldn't put the R8 in it ... Hence the one-off body IMO.

I like the front. WTF is up with Acura Design that can't seem to figure out how to design a car body that looks good on all 4 sides.

Personally not a fan of the styling, but my guess is that it's probably a very concept level vehicle.

I'm expecting most of the lower portion of the front and rear fascias to be modified for production if this car does make it to production as the next NSX successor.

I love how so many people know so much about shit they don't have a clue about.

To the people who think it looks like shit, if the engine said Zonda instead of Honda, you would all be shitting yourselves in excitement.

It looks like an R8? So fucking what? I could find five other cars it resembles too. It's a sports car with distinct lines and a low profile. For some reason you've lost your passion for Acuras and are bitter. Go to Audizine and be happy.

Really? So having an opinion about the design of a car means needing to "have a clue"?

It looks like shit, I don't care who or what namesake might be on the hood.

A shit design is a shit design no matter who makes it.
