Acura knows how to generate more power from smaller engines.

I'm guessing because it's another example of Japanese technology, which is better then most American counterparts.

Its the same freaking company whether its in japan the US... your logic makes 0 sense.

I do think they will go for making it real car someone can buy vs the something like the LFA. I assume that is why they are going to make it in america, to have it competing more with corvette or something like that.

Acura is like the luxury line for Honda

Much like Lexus to Toyota or Lincoln to Ford.

Thanks, I know. Sorry....my responses are often sarcastic.

Yea. Was their any differences? Maybe emission laws and right hand vs. left hand drive. But, pretty much same car, I believe.

I believe Japanese companies profit margin is different then many of the UAW ran companies, which results in newer technology and a better product overall.

I don't think the differences were significant. Acura is pretty much only in North America and China I think. Everywhere else they just call it Honda.

Heard on the radio that they hope to keep the sticker price under $375,000.

In the North American market 150 LFAs will be initially sold through a two year lease program much like the Ferrari F50. This is to prevent owners from reselling the vehicle for a profit.[SUP]

Ah. I see.

Thanks. I guess I just was a bit confused when I saw "Honda NSX" and then "Acura NSX" right below it. Don't know my cars that well.
