Indeed nice to see A-Spec return. Hopefully they've revised the 9-Speed Auto. Still waiting for Type-S to make a return to Acura. TTV6 with SH-AWD or even a sport performance hybrid could be interesting like they did with the MDX.

Acura's SH-AWD was big news (and cutting-edge technology) when it first debuted, but a number of today's AWD systems do more or less the same thing.....vector more torque to the outside wheels in a turn, to counter understeer. In some cases, it is integrated with the vehicle's stability system.

You thought the new NSX was boring? I thought it was drop dead gorgeous, looked better in person then in pics and it looks really good in pics, I think it looks better then the Ferrari 488 and way better then the new R8.

Even the White Pearl?

In most cases, there's a noticeable difference between your standard appliance/refrigerator-white and the textured White Pearl, which is considered one of the classic luxury-vehicle colors.

Does anyone have any idea where the Acura NSX II was styled? In Japan, or the US?
Likewise, where was the likes of the ILX/TLX/RLX styled? Japan or US???
