I personally doubt forced feeding for the next NSX.

However, I believe that a Hybrid w/ VCM is a VERY likely way to go for the new NSX. Acting similar to an SC, the electric motor would be the ideal power adder to an already powerful DOHC iVTEC V6. With VCM, we'd also see about 30mpg (a non-scientific guess
).Even as a Nissan guy, I am excited to see what Honda does with the NSX. (Mainly because it just may influence what Nissan does with the 2007 GTR. ) :P

Hopefully onda pulls something out of their arses. Have you guys seen the turbo JDM accord with VTM 4. That could be the next A-Spec, Type-S, Type-R or whatever TSX. Hopefully they start incorporating the vtm 4 in their cars. The next RL is really gonna make or brake acura. Acura has the potential of being the company it was when the 2nd gen legend was around, or it could just flop on its face and continue to be the lincoln of japanese "luxury" As it stands Caddy runs circles around lincoln, and infinity/lexus run circles around acura.

I also dont think Infiniti and Lexus run circles around Acura.
Infiniti is making waves because they just put out a boatload of new products.
As for Lexus, luxury with the best quality in the business does come at a price; about 5 of the cars in their showrooms cost over $50G (GX470, LX470, GS430, SC430 and LS430). Even the effeminate ES330 costs more than the new TL.
In contrast, the NSX is the only Acura over $50G (but, it's an exotic at least) and only two models only go above the $40G mark (RL, NSX).
But I will agree with Bigman about the RL; they need to make one that stands out from it contemporaries. $$ not a factor, I'd still get the GS430 or M45 before the RL.
