We'll see, depends on how the power is delivered. At least it's competitive with the segment.

I hope this time the Type S is not a sales-flop. I don't know if you remember the last Type S (from your videos, you seem to be a good deal younger than I am)...but the last Type S, an option on the CL coupe, did not do very well. And, from the test-drive I remember back then, it was nothing but a regular CL coupe with some red-stripe trim-pieces, slightly different wheels/tires, a little extra HP, and not enough extra torque to notice any real difference. It did offer a 6-speed manual, though...something that will probably be missing on the upcoming version.

At least the power is competitive which can't be said for the ES, IS, and dead GS. It will depend on how it puts the power down too. The TLX will cost much less too, that needs to be taken into consideration. Handling and drive should be good, it still would have been nice to have a power figure closer to 400hp. If the predicted 45K price is true, that is a lot of car for the money if the performance is competitive.

If you're about performance, there's no way i'd pick this over a Q50 or Q60 Red Sport. I don't care about all the tech nannies and Infotainment. It's why I got a Red Sport in the first place. Those numbers are disappointing to say the least.

The performance is fine imo, especially the torque. But I can't get over the fact that I don't like the looks of the car inside or out. Not impressed......and it's an Acura. Meh 🤷♂️

Refreshed G70 is rumored to get a bump in horsepower closer to 400.

That would be a really compelling offering if that were true. At 365hp, its already at 0-60 in 4.5. It may be close to 4 flat if that were true. I'm not going to count Acura out until the reviews come in. Lets hope the car drives better than the specs would indicate...
