V8s are dropping like flies from lineups, GS and A6 are losing V8 options(except for the expensive performance versions),(M3s and S4s are using 6 cylinders instead of V8s), etc. It does not make much sense to bring out a new V8 now with looming CAFE standards that will cause V8s to become extremely rare expensive options in the not too distant future. You can thank strict government fuel regulations for this, just made even stricter a few weeks ago.

Now why would they want to drop the TSX in favor of an RSX sedan? The TSX is a decent car... it's just priced higher than it should be. That is unless the RSX sedan gets much better fuel economy than the TSX.

If Acura brings out a Hydrogen car (unlikely for now), they can at least claim to have the first 'luxury' hydrogen fuel cell car on the lot.

LMFAO...

If you noticed I stopped posting Acura news. There is NONE. Nothing of interest at all, who cares. Not even worth beating a deader horse than Isuzu.

I mean wow, hybrids, nearly ten years after Lexus. Who cares. Now an Acura hydrogen car, that might excite me.
