It looks awesome. Think Acura will bring it to market? They certainly need a new spark.

Cheers,

I bet they produce something that looks very close to this design. It looks like a very practical design for the street! IMO the shape looks very similar to an Audi R8.

This car may have have a "hybrid power" but it's not gonna be one-dimentional like Prius Think Formula-One style of hybrid implementation... one that augments performance at 10/10th's driving.



A bonus for this car would be the fuel efficiency in stop-go city driving.

That's if Honda decides to make the WHOLE chassis all carbon fiber

I like the looks, too much unknown about the powerplant at this point to get too excited about anything. Acura makes a great car but they are always a bit underpowered compared to the competition.

That looks damn nice --- a bit of McLaren mixed with the R8. I'd rock it.

It looks great. But, it's a hybird. Therefore, it's crap. Call me old-fashioned, but the idea of a hybrid sports/super car will never appeal to me.

I like the shape but please, scale back on the wheel/tire size. A sports car does not need 21" wheels.

Yes, I do enjoy my C3, thank you. I don't even have a problem with all of those electric nannies that you named. For some reason, the idea of a performance car also being a hybrid bothers me and doesn't make sense. To each their own, no need to get snappy about my car.

Acura needs to do something. I think their designers have a bad case of the "uglies" lately.

Not getting snappy a C3 was the first Vette I noticed and got me interested in Vettes...I have always loved that body style....My point was most vehicles made today are heavy in the tech department..The good old days are just that "good ol days"...I know you Enjoy that C3 I would.
