The future of Acura may be interesting. 1st, the redesign of the new MDX is quite stunning and features many firsts for the Acura brand as well as Power rear Gate, Damper System, 300 Hp V Tec Engine and different other alternatives. Soon the new TSX will be coming out afterward this year and the New TL next year . And we know the next TSX and TL will be surprising in perfomance, comfort and looks. What is your opinion on what the future Acura product will be like? And can not really understand the new Altima commercials comparing it to the TL and Accord which are about four years old. I find that humorous how desperate Nissan is to compare their new car although the TL and Accord have been out for longer.

Well, not sure what to say. looks that you answered your question and you have a better opinion on Acura.

I would not take Nissan too seriously. like you said, they're desperate they're the 1st of the Japanese "Big to idle plants caused by low demand this happened in November 2006, and this month they stated fiscal income that were down nearly 23% from the previous year, a stark contrast to Toyota's 7.3% get and Honda's 11.6% get.

I think the real fight will be between Honda and Toyota, or Acura and Lexus. Toyota needs to win over younger people, something Honda does better. And Acura needs to win over the serious premium customer not just the budget premium customer, something Lexus does better. Omitting the $20,000 RSX was a good choice, but something that should happened a long time ago, and where is that V8 engine?

I can not wait to see the new NSX. I think Acura will give BMW, Infiniti, and Lexus a real hard competition.

The MDX and RDX are good starts, but Acura needs to A. Give the TSX a better engine, if it be the turbo from the RDX or the J32 from the old generation TL. Neither Lexus nor Infiniti have any cars with four cylinders so Acura should at least give the TSX the turbo if it wants to keep up. B. Give the TL AWD. Since Acura is clearly too stubborn to give it RWD, they could at least agreement and give it AWD. It does not matter to the true fan if the TL holds more Gs on the skidpad than a G35 or Is350 which, amazingly enough, it really does, all they hear is FWD. C. This is the most evident Acura needs a V8. But, if the people Honda just can not come to their senses, they should at least put a supercharger on the new J37 and make it an choice on the RL and MDX, both of which could use more power. So far, the RL is not on the radar in luxury sedans, the TSX is not on the radar in upscale sedans, the RSX is dead also it should be, the NSX still is not out still, and the new Infiniti G35 is lots better than the TL. I am just hoping that Acura will not miss a great opportunity to blow our minds all over again like they did in 2004 with the then redesigned and now unfortunately outdated TL.

My mom has a 2004 Acura MDX and it is nice. Yeah, I guess the future of Acura does look promising.

I own an 06 tsx but I think the altima is a good car also. the tsx is a four year old design but the tl is newer. it's a matter of what you want in a car. I favored the acura.

I share your optimism for the Acura brand, but I really think that Acura should look into clean diesel technology that could promise considerable increases in fuel mileage and market it as an upscale technology to increase the popularity of clean diesels.

Acura was very remarkable for many years now. it is great that their novelty persists still to this day. As mentioned above, I am looking forward to the next gen NSX. The acura site has lots of info about their future lineup and what to expect down the road.
