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.
First of all, CL-X and TL-X are CL and TL. RS-X is RSX. I was just using deductive reasoning. What if it is short for Dualnote. maybe DN. Maybe DSX to be in tune with the SX suffix in the T-R-N-SX. Who cares. Dualnote is a much better name.
Also, the DN-X is like the RX-8 and such, sports cars that happen to have 4 doors.
But then again I would be so excited to see this in the NSX. If they manage to keep the weight about the same it will have killer 0-60 and 1/4th mile times. If 290hp can get sub 5-sec 0-60 times, imagine what another 100hp and AWD traction can do. mmmmm.
