    The new Acura grill/nose is the same as all the other ones (FUGLY) but otherwise looks nice. Taillights and spoiler might get wonky too. I am still trying to figure out how the NSX went from a transverse V6 mid-engine car to a V10 front engine...

    V10, because everyone is doing it.

    V10 because it ties in with their F1 program?

    So they could have an excuse to put a long nose on it. Can't let 4th generation Camaros keep the longest front overhang award.

    I'm sure it is just to halo all their other cars. Making the brand seem far more prestigious than it is. Afterall, Acura IS NOT selling Honda Accords and posing them off as luxury vehicles. The TSX IS NOT a european Accord. The TL IS NOT an American Accord and the RL IS NOT an AWD Accord.

    Just like all new Acura's ARE NOT so FUGLY that even blind people shudder at the sight of one?

    I wonder how long before someone tries to put that V-10 in an S2000

    The extra cutting for a CRX will push that build back farther than the S 2000. Wait, V10 in the S 2000 Vs. LSx Miata, Ohh hell yeah.
