Where was Lexus's answer to the NSX? See how stupid that sounds? 
And it looks nice, but let's see the front. Also, I'm not too sure it will actually have quad exhaust, and I don't really like those square taillights.

TRDFantasy have already summed it up for you about Lexus' answer to the NSX.
I guess Acura will never be in the same league as Lexus.

The LF-A is not the answer to the NSX, considering the NSX has been discontined already and the LF-A has not even started production yet. And it's certainly not an answer considering its 17 years late. Lexus has never produce a car that comes remotely close to the NSX's ability on the track. I dont think anyone here can deny that seeing how the NSX holds up very well to many exotics of today.
The Acura concept car reference isn't the answer to anything. It was sarcasm to help explain how senseless it is to compare a car that hasn't been out yet, to a car that has been long gone.

Ya really guys... your making arguments based on cars that do not exist(LF-A, IS500) Until they come out, I ****** on those cars.
I like how this thread immediatley turns into an Acura vs. Lexus thread.

If the rumor of the front engine RWD NSX replacement car comes true, than you can say the LF-A is the answer to the G2 NSX, or the G2 NSX is the answer to the LF-A. Whichever comes out first

Guys, let's get back to the Accord.
1. It won't look close to this, Honda is ALWAYS giving us jaw dropping drawings and then the actual production car comes and its "oh, okay" bland.
2. The current Accord coupe, IMO, is a very good car for what it is. The interior is very well done. I can see how the Accord coupe is a blend of Prelude and Acura CL in one.
3. I would like to see maybe SH-AWD and TLish styling on a future Acura CL coupe for the 35k range, that would be cool.
4. The IS-F does exist

Unlike most other manufacturers, Honda Prodcution Concepts are usually VERY close to production specs. This has been the case in the past and I don't expect it to be any different with the Accord, minus the huge rims and quad exhaust. Then again, what concept car DOESN'T have huge rims and wild exhaust systems?
MDX Concept
RDX Concept
RL Concept Drawing
TL Concept
Civic Si Concept
The pattern shows that the concepts are pretty much production ready. The production Accord will look closer to this sketch than not.

I disagree with one.... AS mentioned earlier the CL coupe concept was amazing. (Anybody able to find it?)
It reminded me of the accord drawing above.. When the production CL was released it was bland...
We shall see

You know that surprise is gonna be the RDX's 2.3 litre turbo engine which probably means they're dropping the V6? Hmm... that would be a first. No V6 family cars lol.
