This happens all the time during development, but Honda still has to be pissed. There have been rumors the engineers have been having some trouble making the V6 and the hybrid components play nice, and this seems to confirm it.

Test fires from any automaker don't get free passes.
Tesla and Ferrari, which have had very bad press regarding fires, were able to prove to the public the causes of their fires (Ferrari used flammable glue near the engine [now changed], and Tesla's fires are caused by debris puncturing the battery pack [now reinforced]).
Honda, for now, has some explaining to do...
LOL!
You don't think Porsche or Ferrari have test cars?!?
Every automaker have test cars. Most of them done in private well-surveillanced test tracks. These cars are tested for months, if not years, before they are glimpsed by the public eye.
The only difference in this situation is that Honda got caught with a bad situation in a very public place. Surely, this is going to be a Marketing nightmare for Honda...

So when a Lambo or Ferrari catch fire, they get a free pass on CL, but anything made by Honda won't. Unicorn or not, this car will be the technological marvel from Japan since the last NSX.
On another note, this is a test car, it's good they run the test til they see there is something wrong before deliver it to customers and let them be guinea pigs. Porsche or Ferrari don't give a damn about people who bought their cars until it goes viral online or media.

I have not heard of a TLX hybrid, I don't think one is coming anytime soon.

Luckily nobody was killed or seriously hurt, the fire started after the car was done testing and could have just been something very minor like a unsecured fuel line, camo tape in the engine bay, etc.

I'm not biased toward Acura, I love Toyota more than anything. I bought a WRX because FHI is partially bought by Toyota.

Not sure why anyone is acting like CL is the only place that has no faith in Honda, no forum on the internet does, not even Acura ones. The burden in on Honda to prove everyone wrong. If anyone even remotely mentions the legendary Hiromu Naruse they need their head examined at the least. That is utterly disrespectful on levels that would **** off Mr. Toyoda himself. He was not at the track when his accident happened. It was an accident off the track.
Why would anyone bring up Hiromu Naruse? Unbelievable.
This is floating around Facebook

I didn't say you "hate" NSX, and I know you don't hate it because you used it to compare to Supra on supra forums which show you have respect for the car. I'm just saying CL, in general, likes picking on Acura. Doesn't matter if it's a sedan, SUV or Supercar.

Oh yeah I posted a lot of NSX news on SupraForums. I don't really go out of my way to "hate" on any automaker. But from time to time I will poke fun at xxx. I was actually really looking forward to the new NSX
I can't wait to see a NSX II, R36 GT-R, and MKV Supra (FT-1) comparison
