The A-Spec line is going to fizzle. It's not really even a "line" but a kit of overpriced dealer-installed accessories sold in miniscule numbers of 1000 per model per year. It's completely stupid on Acura's part. Lexus tried the same thing with L-Tuned and it went nowhere. Make higher performance versions of the cars from the factory, or don't bother at all.

As for the RL, it has been all but confirmed by Acura that it will have a normally aspirated, non-hybrid V6 displacing somewhere between 3.5 and 3.8 liters with an output of 300 hp run through an awd drivetrain. Any speculation about a future hybrid verison is just that--speculation.
