On another note, anyone realize that the 2003 Accord produces more power and has just about every feature you could ever want out of an Acura RL at half the cost. Why would anyone buy an RL? Really? They need to get rid of that horrible vehicle... DNX > RL
I assume the basis for the powertrain will be the next NSX. I do expect something like an RDX to debut, because a DualNote powertrain in a sedan is virtually impossible unless it's got Porsche seats in the back. XC, it's certainly not going to be the next RL. And the RL is based on comfort, not performance...have you ever even driven one? Horsepower doesn't mean everything, especially to the target audience of the RL.
Yianni, it will NOT be called DNX, trust me on this. DN-X is just short for DualNote Concept, and it's a lousy name anyway. I have no idea WTF to think here, I've always thought the DualNote would be the basis for the next NSX. I still think that. I'm very unsure here, because Elliot pretty much said it would be 4 doors. That is not an NSX. So I'm not saying anything until we get more evidence.
I'm totally confused on this. At any rate, I don't expect this to come out in its current form...either they give the powertrain to the NSX and take styling elements, make a 4 door sedan with an RDX-like system, or do something crazy.
