Acura 'Advanced Sedan Concept'

[omicron]

The most annoying part is that in the above picture, the basic proportions from the A-pillar back are quite pleasing. It's just completely ruined overall by an overly-heavy front end and ridiculous detailing. The foundations of a good design are there, but there is a long way to go.

And the Aztek for this autoshow season goes to Acura.

That is a postively hideous car!

treat it like any concept.... add some real headlights.... soften the grill in a more traditional Acura shape.... this car will be a show stopper... the concept is MADE to drive emotion....

Careful! This might be the only RWD (seems to be RWD) sedan to come out of the Honda stable!?

No, it will probably be the same deal as the Legend/Vigors of yore...longitudinal motor, rear mounted tranny, complex mechanical linkages to make it FWD again (i.e. the "front" half of a longitudinal engine tranny's AWD diff)....

If they tone this down and it is RWD they will have a hell of a hit..."I've been waiting for this all my life!!!!"

drive it right right out the door.  Dude, there is no way you can defend this thing.  It's hideous.  If anyone else was showing off a concept this ugly you'd be coming down on it like a ton of bricks.

They had rear mounted trannies? Man, Acura is thick.

Hey YO... can you tell us if this ASC is going to be rear-drive?

LOL. I never realized how silly the site's name was. It's pretty boring forum wise...they have good articles though
