I have no problem with what Acura is doing. They will continue to sell cars and at the end of the day that’s all that matters, especially in this economy.
Anyway, here comes another 10 page thread with the same old comments. For an irrelevant brand, Acura sure does get a lot of attention here on CL, I mean A LOT! Prediction, this will turn into another rehash of every other Acura thread.
Admins, CL may need an Acura sticky, just a thought.

I'm glad you have no problem with what Acura is doing, a lot of people like average things.
What I do have a problem with is your comments about this forum. This is Car CHat and if you actually READ the forum outside of only posting in Acura threads, you will soon realize news and threads are posted on EVERY brand possible and any kind of news.
I also recommended you looking at other websites as they are laughing at Acura like we are. including Honda/Acura forums. Are you scolding them too?
The bottom line is THERE WOULD BE NO ACURA NEWS IN CAR CHAT IF THEY DIDN'T CONTINUE TO OPEN THEIR MOUTHS AND TALK TALK TALK instead of PRODUCING VEHICLES.
So if anything, write Acura a letter and tell them to be quiet b/c their useless press releases are embarrassing, especially to loyal fans.

Even my brother in law who currently owns the last gen TL and have been a Honda Acura man for over 20 years is laughing at the current Acura lineup. What is surprsing is that Acura's sales number have drop much, I just want to know who is buying these ugly cars with old technology.

Let's see how many "things" Acura is missing:
Super car/sports car: none
V8 engine: none and never exist
RWD vehicle: none
Hybrid vehicle: none
Turbocharged vehicle: RDX
Supercharged vehicle: none
Electric vehicle: none
Diesel vehicle: none
Ultra-lightweight vehicle: none, not possible due to its SH-AWD.
6 speed or 7 speed automatic transmission: none
Dual-clutch transmission: none
DOHC engine: TSX's 4 cylinder, RDX
Roadster/convertible: none
Anything that has more than 400hp: none
What makes Acura leaders think that they even have a slight chance of standing out in the crowds? From what I can see, all Acura has left is reliability, which they are not even in the highest level. I rather drive a Honda than Acura, because at least I can save some money from Honda vehicles. What can I get from Acura that I can't from any other luxury car brands? I can't think of any.
Some automakers at least tried to do something like Infiniti and Jaguar or even Hyundai, but Acura keeps finding excuses and searching for easy routes and what is even more funnier is that they want to convince customers to believe or respect those craps.

Well, you also have to take into account that Acura may not be getting all the funds from the parent Honda organization that it wants, or needs. It takes money to develop new technology.....and a lot of the Honda development dollars, recently, has been going into hydrogen/fuel-cell technology, where the company, today, is ahead of every other manufacturer. The FCX is already on a lease program here in the U.S., and soon will go public for regular sale......at least in areas that can support its fuel needs.

Sounds good. The TL isn't exactly a fuel sipper and neither is the RDX (great little SUV and I like the design but it's embarrassing when a larger Murano matches its FE w/ a V6).
I wonder what happens if Acura USA introduces the CSX to you guys lol. Would you guys freak out or actually praise it? (before I get flamed... and it has happened before... the CSX is a car sold in Canada and is based on the Civic. I did not make this up. You think this disclaimer is funny but i got flamed on an ACURA forum for talking about a car that doesn't exist with HIDs in a multi-reflector setup, which also doesn't exist in that member's mind either...)

With a beak. We already get Euro Accords, you want to give us Canadian Civics too? No flames, we love you.
