Acura Advanced Sports Car Concept coming to Detroit

12/19/2006, 9:05 AM

By admin

The Acura ‘Advanced Sports Car Concept’ will make its debut at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The concept “provides a glimpse at the next generation Acura exotic sports car,” the company said.

The concept follows the design language introduced by the Advanced Sedan Concept shown at the Los Angeles auto show nearly a month ago. A teaser sketch of the Advanced Sports Car Concept can be seen after the jump…

Could be interesting, the artist sketch doesn’t give a clear impression though. I’ll wait for the NAIAS.

So the designer has his/her own line of tyres, too?

At first, I thought it was a sketch of the front of the car; then I realized it is the company car for Cylons from Battlestar Galactica.

It is a promising sketch that is an obvious evolution of the TL and RL design language. Something about it screams eight cylinders.

chevy490,

I have supported America for years. I am the last of my family to still actually own an American vehicle; my wife will never own another one. The problem, and there are many, is that Americans car companies overpay their executives for producing second-rate vehicles (with the exception of a handful of vehicles), and America companies have not matched the competition in R&D dollars. America did not invest in its automotive future, and it shows. My current American car will be my last one too. I will not support American car companies out of nationalism as that is foolish and only leads to third-rate American car companies. Either American car companies make some serious changes, or they will not be around any longer.

Honda and Toyota deserve the credit they get—they earned it the hard way.

Im not sure what I think of this thing as you can’t even tell the front of this thing from the back of it..

So which end is the front and the back?

It’s a concept. Who cares if it’s ugly? The styling cues from it will probably be toned down but the concept is to showcase new technologies, not win beauty pagents.

Perhaps it was designed by Dr. Doolittle, the mastermind genius behind the Push-Me-Pull-Me llama thingy.

Um, sure Honda. Stick to building bland Accords in mass and set the Crayolas down.

I just hope the front looks better than the Advanced Sedan Concept. That thing was U-G-L-Y.

you people just can’t appreciate that there are VERY few good american cars left. acuras are an exceptional value for money, as are most other imports. so deal with it.

The Advanced Sedan Concept forum was a couple of weeks ago. This is a different car, and I think the sketch looks great.

I wonder how much (if any) of this Advanced Sports Car Concept will make it’s way into the upcoming Acura NSX sports car?

None, because Acura will be history by the time they put this out. People would much rather have a GM over some jap crap pile o ****. B13Sentra, is that the rotting wreck you have in your driveway or do you dream of jap ****? Get out of the country if you like that stuff. You should be buying GM if you know what is good for you.

Whatever Jordan. Check out the new Malibu if you want a real car. It is going to kick serious ass on the Accord and Camry and whatever piece of **** you drive bud. The American Revolution is taking names and Toyoa, Honda, BMW, Benz, Audi are going to be in a world of hurt because of it. Just you wait, the world will soon wake up and realize that GM is the only thing they should have in their driveway

I just can’t believe that they are replacing the mid-engine NSX with an ordinary GT car like this.

I just can’t believe people buy Hondas. What they should be checking out and buying is that sweet new Malibu a few stories down. Now that’s a real car! Acuras are **** next to any GM.

Kind of cool, I guess…but what’s up with the grille on the back of the car?

GMrules — did your parents give you your computer back? It was nice here for a while, but now your back cluttering up the board with your ****.

Lol, i love how u all bash GMrules! WEKS, thats hilarious. And Renton, yeah, thats what i thought…. i think his parents found out what he did and took his computer away and sent him away. Maybe he’s in the mental insitution, using the the computer lab!

forgot to add……. GMrules is probably in there with a bad case of Toruette’s sydrome-like. He’s involuntarly screams all out about how GM is better and disses those commentors.
