I don't think we have a thread on this - but Acura has put the HR-V in a really nice dress, and is pimping it out on the Chinese market. Wouldn't be surprised if it ended up in the USA.
Power comes from the new 1.5T, and 8AT.

Acura....Acura......nope, never heard of 'em. :lol:
I'm waiting to see what comes of the ILX
The biggest improvement from the HRV will the powertrain, that 1.5T/8spd DCT should make for a peppy little micro ute. Hopefully they pick a better color than that disgusting beige/champagne crap in the photos.

MUUUUUUUUUCH better.
It looks ideally suited for current North American auto trends, only a matter of time before we see it here I think.
Looks nice -- good application of the new Acura face, and well differentiated from the HR-V. The HR-V bones will also mean a roomier interior than most of its competitors.
As others have said, a major powertrain upgrade is needed, but it could be great with the right engine.
I like the sunset in the background.
Needs more beak
Eager to see what they do with the next RDX. 2.0T + 8DCT sounds compelling.

Is that building levitating in the background?
I believe it is a 2019 model... that's pretty far into the future.

Nope, it's a 3D exclamation point!
