They did a great job with it. I wish they'd put it in the NSX Sport Hybrid as a part of one or another option package. But a closer inspection of the dash top makes it seem they made no provision for it.
I hope I'm wrong, but that's how it looks.

After experiencing it in my Sport-Hybrid test drive, I couldn't agree more that it is great tech and very well executed by Acura. And I can't imagine that is cost that much to add considering that the cost difference between a PAWS and Sport-Hybrid RLX is only roughly $5k. And I'd have to imagine the majority of that cost goes into the Sport-Hybrid system itself (and other electrical components like the all electric A/C system) and not a freaking HUD.
I hope that with the existing dashboard design used to support the FCW feature on the TLX/RLX/MDX, which already has the opening for the HUD projector, that we will see it trickle down to these models and not just the Sport-Hybrid. At the very least offer it to us as an add-on option to the Advance Trim model for those of us willing to pay more for it.

Keep in mind that in 2014 when the Sport Hybrid was released, it was at least a year, and maybe more than that, late. That was two years that allowed the competition to catch up. If you want to really cry, look at the Hyundai Genesis and Equus, which both out-feature the RLX in some ways. I'm hoping that Acura has some tricks up its sleeve for the 2017 RLX, whether it's an MMC or not.
