I highly highly doubt that it's the NSX-Successor. Lots of press tout it as that, but I would like to think otherwise. I think this will be the bridge in the gap between any future S cars and the future NSX-successor. RL coupe maybe? I think this one will be a GT car, and still believe the NSX will be a raw sportscar. It would help the launch of Acura in Japan forsure.

I wanna say it's the NSX Successor. If you look at the tail lights, it's still got the basic shape of the retired NSX - Horizontal element with two triangles at each end. Also, the C Pillars have that same look as the retired NSX.

The front end is sleek. The narrow headlights reminiscent of the TL and TSX, but to a higher degree of aggressiveness really makes the front of the car.

I personally think that Acura has rounded a corner and hit their stride with the designs of their new cars. to Honda/Acura.

... can I work for you, Acura Advanced Design Center Pasadena??

This car was done by the Acura design group in Torrance. Specifically by a designer named Patrick Lukasak.

The 2 concepts shown at LA were done at the Pasadena Advanced Studio.

that explains why the two concepts are completely different. as in this one is actually passable as a car ppl would want.

i like the general body shape, but the rear is a bit more Camaro than NSX. its still a little too concept-ish for me to totally get excited about. cant wait until Tokyo.
