sorry but I dont know one person that owns an acura that would say that the nsx being in acura's line up had anything to do with their decision. Nobody cares that their car is made by the same company that has a car with the technology of the nsx. Unless its a car thats more afforable that can bring people into the dealership, I dont think it would make a difference. If Acura had a 40-50k sports car that they could turn a profit on, more people would come in to look at the car and would see other acura's while there. They may not walk a way with the sports car...but at the same time they could say "hey that car could replace the wife's current ride".
I just think that having a relatively affordable sports car would increase sales across the line.
