I like it, but the body somewhat reminds me of a Mazda. I've been an Acura fan since buying my MDX back in '05. I'll likely replace my MDX with another MDX once the time comes.
 
Same ole same ole, Pass!

Everybody is moving to forced induction v6, these guys kept the same rough v6.
 
Its not bad... design is a tad boring, interior looks nice.. I wouldnt buy one but good enough for someone else.
 
i don't like their grills ..or lexus' for that matter...

but the back and the interior look good...

they need to just re-do that grill..and the front would be on point..in my opinion...

Hybrid v6's are the next thing actually. You can get the same power with more reliability.

Its Honda - they really don't like 6's - but that being said - that engine is pretty good - great even when mated to a manual tranny - I like it almost as much as GM's 3.8 v6 from the late 80s -90s and Nissan's 3.0 and 3.5 v6 from the 90's

Hoax my ass its already started. I have the q50 hybrid that makes 60 more hp and 175 extra lb ft of torque. Hoax . Right.
 
I like it, actually this fall i'm planning on getting this or the Infiniti Q50. The one that rides the best is what i'm getting.

Doctor, with respect, please don't tell me that you're coming in here to promote a car with 258lb/ft torque and claiming it's the shot. Also,it's a 4015lb car with a $3500 price penalty over the regular engine.

This is what the true expert reviewers are saying about your marvelous machine:

While the 2014 Q50S Hybrid certainly puts up the numbers of a performance hybrid, it doesn't exactly drive like one. The brakes are one issue. Though they obviously stop the car well enough (our 60-0 mph braking test proves that), the Q50S Hybrid's brakes exhibited some of the worst pedal feel we've experienced since the first-gen Toyota Prius. The handoff from regenerative braking to mechanical braking is incredibly abrupt, with the brakes seemingly not slowing the Infiniti down in regenerative mode before quickly engaging in mechanical mode, throwing the car forward on its front wheels. Testing director and dynamics guru Kim Reynolds summed up the brake transition woes quite well: "Basically, their crazy initial bite renders the car unacceptable. I'd hate to be a passenger in this car in city traffic." As senior features editor Jonny Lieberman put it, "Performance hybrids require performance brakes."

And then there's the Infiniti's Direct Adaptive Steering -- steer-by-wire – which feels neither direct nor adaptive. We've already gone on record saying that Infiniti's steer-by-wire system makes the Q50 exceptionally capable at drifting, and that's still the case with the Q50S Hybrid. But while drifting is great and all, that's not how the Q50S Hybrid owner will spending most weekends – he or she is going to spend most of the time in the city or on a highway, with sporadic trips to favorite back roads. Cruising about town isn't where the problem lies, as the Infiniti hybrid feels rather smooth. "They've managed to dial out bumps in the road," said MT editor-in-chief Edward Loh. "[It] creates an odd sensation when you see bumps, feel/hear them hit the tires, and come up through the suspension." Steer-by-wire shows its limitations on back roads. "Weirdest feeling ever," said technical director Frank Markus. "It almost feels like I'm in a classroom simulator, and the instructor is constantly modifying my steering inputs." "Steering wheel feels like the column terminates in a jar of molasses," said Loh. Lieberman: "Steer-by-wire needs a serious rethink to be viable."

Actually the q50 has 475 lb ft of torque and 360 hp. So. I drive one and dont listen to biasex reviewers who get paid by germans to trash every other car.
 
Have always loved Honda/Acura and always will, but they have lost a step for a loooooong time.

I know it's too late in the game for them but I sorta wish they would just pull all Hondas up to the Acura level so they can then focus/force Acura to tackle the higher tier auto makers. Right now IMO Acuras are competing at the level of Lincolns and Buicks when they should be hitting Lexus, BMW and Benz strata.

When I am roaming the streets incognito I can't bee seen in my hover car, that would be a sure give away. :smh: But, I do so very much love to drive in all silver SUVs ... and gray ones too. :cool:

Agreed about the Acura line ... begrudgingly so. :( There was so much promise in it once. :yes:
 
After seeing this shit in person today I can definitely say this car is ass inside and out. They even had this car in the corner all by itself, the RLX had a bigger presence.

Outside design....ehhhh

Inside looks good.
I like the risk they took with the
buttons to switch gears....looks interesting :rolleyes:
 
Acura has an identity crisis. They are trying to be a premium brand and be sporty like BMW. But they suck at it.
 
Price has been released. cpcar starts at 30,995 to the top trim $44,695. Car has actually started to grow on me, price is great too.
