I just saw this on Acura's Facebook. The model in the front is likely the rumored 2015 or 2016 NSX spyder.

But what is the silver model in the back? TLX coupe? "Baby" NSX? The rear profile looks good, though not sure about the center exhausts. There might be hope for Acura yet.

that is the nsx hardtop concept in silver...duhhhhh

Thanks for posting. That coupe looks interesting, but maybe on the small side to be based on the TLX platform?

docboy

Really? Looks different to me.



/\ Compared to the 1st pic I posted, above pic of the NSX concept differs in that: rear bumper is not as pointy/angular, rear tail lights look different and has a thin band of red deflector just inferior to the rear spoiler, rear arch wells are rounded, exhausts are different, and has no side marker/design below the A pillar.

Could be the ill-fated concept for what was supposed to be a front-engined V10 powered NSX replacement coupe. Could also be something completely new. Acura should find a way to slot that into the line-up because it looks pretty good to me.

Let's go really crazy with this ... what's that thing on the tv in the background?

OP...The car in Silver can't be an Acura (or at least one we'll ever see) and here is why:

1. It looks good!
2. It has a rear exhaust tip

My 2 cents....

mondster

Hopefully its the tlx coupe aka mini nsx.

potmilkz

you do know that i said concept.. they produced many concepts.. that one you posted in silver on your first post is a fiberglass chassis with some wheels.. its not a actual car.

The silver one in the showroom looks sweet,if it is the new TLX coupe it could stir my interest especially if it lay down some good performance numbers.

Whichever model it is i hope it makes it to production.

I think that's the FR NSX concept that was supposed to have the V10.

It's an old mystery concept Acura never really publicized untill recently. You know that beak we hate so much? It came from this car.

You can see the NSX roadster in the background behind the window.

BTW, if there is going to be a TLX Coupe, ever, have it be named the CLX.

Earlier Acura;

TL = Sedan.
CL = Coupe.
Both same platforms.

TLX = Sedan.
CLX= Coupe.
Both same platforms.

CLX = TLX Coupe. Same styling ques.
CL = TL Coupe. Overall same styling ques.

^^^ * UGH * OMG....this is an example that a nice ass does not equate to a pretty face! How can the first pic reveal such a great concept and then look at the car from the front and look so hideous!

I retract my earlier post...:

It will be an Acura because:

1. It looks hideous....End of story

*lmao* I know I am sounding a bit pessimistic....but I am just having a bit of fun at Acura's expense, until they give me a reason to earn my respect again

docboy

+1. Ugh, the front looks atrocious. I also retract my statement about hope for Acura. Back to the drawing board.

potmilkz

would still drive that shit down the street tho.

keith7120

That is a good one! "It has rear exaust tips" I don't understand why they are hiding the tips on the TLX. A sports sedan without stylish tailpipes. If you are going to make possibly a sports hybrid up to 370 horses, why the hell would you hide the tail pipes?

KarKraze

Oh Jeez,talk about looking good from the backside and then .

vybzkartel

Nice ass and ugly face?! I'd still hit it though, lol.

docboy

If Acura could take that rear end of the unknown-name concept, and mesh it with the front end of the upcoming 2015 NSX, equip it with SH-SH-AWD and 6MT and/or dual clutch auto, it would be a winner in my book (provided it has ~350-370hp).

IMHO I would take above make believe model of over the S5. What say you Acura? Up for the challenge?

^Over the S5? They must have the good stuff to smoke out in WA!

docboy

Of course

IMHO the 4G TL 6MT is comparable to the S4. I personally wouldn't trade my TL for a S4 since I wouldn't really consider it an upgrade and the TL is roomier than the S4 for family reasons.

Since Acura no longer has a coupe, if above concept comes to fruition with specs I posted above and I'm in a market for a coupe, then yes, I would purchase the above concept over the S5 due to Acura's historical better reliability. IMHO.

Six Shifter

If this were to be known as the CLX, it looks a hell-of-a-lot better than the original CLX.



... and something Acura should have done after the demise of the CL. It is also something I 'might' consider when it's time to move out of the S5, which I don't see happening for a while.

Timmy18

I'll fix it.

Timmy18

I agree, the first gen CL was ugly. The 2nd looked better.

Mr Marco

Agreed.

Couldn't Honda go to the motorsports division and throw a nice engine in a coupe body? It doesn't have to be the NSX killer; a step below would be nice.

I was at my dealer yesterday and he seems to be quite certain there will be a tlx coupe.

because ALL dealers tell the truth, right?

if its not coming out of HONDA's mouth...then its just a rumor.

And even then it doesnt mean it will be built

Doc, I really like the first picture you posted. Now you have to wonder if we'll ever see it.

kurtatx

Other marques have them too. The problem is I have faith that the Elmiraj will get made by GM in a somewhat timely fashion. I can't understand for the life of me why the NSX isn't out yet (considering the first commercial for the car is 2 years old).
