If they execute well they can turn it around, look how drab the previous gen Civic and Accord were. My bigger concern is when people spend 35k-65k, which I would assume is the price for most Acura vehicle sales, what percentage are performance oriented vehicles? I'm thinking more than 70% are trucks and CUV's these days.

frogger replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)I think a higher performance model is called for, it has had the looks down for a few generations..

frogger replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)While I find the 3rd back door odd, I always use the passenger side for our small kid, it is just safer in the city where parking is often on the street. This is better looking than the previous gen IMO, but I'm not a big fan of either.

Acura could sure use a hit with this... and another CUV to go alongside the RDX and MDX.frogger replied to Drew Dowdell's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Looks decentfrogger replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Dashboard is actually the only thing that surprised me a bit..frogger replied to William Maley's topic in North American International Auto Show in Detroit (NAIAS)Based on looks I'd take it 100% of the time over the target Prius. Would have preferred a hatch though for more cargo capacity/flexibility.I also think the 2.0T version offers a nice alternative to the higher trimmed level family sedans like the Accord, Malibu, Camry, Fusion, Legacy, Regal, Mazda6 etc.Kid was not happy with the walk to daycare at -7F this morning, had to carry him most of the way. Looking forward to the slightly warmer Sun/Mon/Tues before we go back to silly cold.The 2.0t skips the CVT in favour of a 10 speed auto or the stick.I was thinking about an offlease SRX recently and did some checking, no Android auto unfortunately.Well the Equinox and Malibu 1.5.t powetrain is just not up to muster then with the benchmark Accord and CRV then.. CRV 1.5t does it in ~7.5 seconds.
