Default Is the new Acura built on the S frame?

Anybody have any info on the new Acura sedan? It is suppose to be a pure performance sedan that will fit between the RSX and the TLS. Just wondered if it share any components with our beloved little S. It will be unveiled at the Detroit auto show later this month.

the conservative power output is disappointing. i don't think this sedan has any chance against it's competitors unless it's priced much lower than the rest.
