that scooter is called the Segway Personal Transporter or more affectionately known as "It". It uses a gyro balance system to maintain it uprightness, and the operator only has to lean a few millimeters in any direction to move it. its very cool.

I dont even know if the Acura lineup makes sense. I think they just wanted the letter thing going.


NSX means something for sure. Just like the CRX

(in terms of JDM designations)

RL is the Legend

TL is the Inspire

CL is CL (usdm )

MDX is MDX (usdm )

RSX is the Integra

Probably the same folks who decide we shouldnt have SiR's or ITR/CTR trims in North America.

If other manufacturers can bring their high perfomance small cars here to the states, (LanEvo, WRX, SE-R, etc.) why can't Honda do the same? Do they think that they are doing us a favor by bringing us the Si? The Si model should've been with us the entire time (w/o the hiatus between 96-98) and should've brought us the Type R.

I think American people cant accept Honda as a "high performance" car manufacturer. Ask a normal person who is looking for a reliable car and they'll say Honda. In no way will they say or think a Civic is sporty. In Japan, a Civic runs in many JTCC and N1 races. Over here, a Civic in on a NASCAR road course is a joke. A Civic to an average American is a "gas saving grocery getter that is very reliable" h:

That is why I think they needed the Acura division in the states to sell higher end Hondas. Cuz we "Americans" think Acura is a luxuary division. I think Acura spawned the divisions of Lexus, and Infinity. So they can sell their respective higher end automobiles. Before Acura, there was nothing but Toyota and Datsun, (now Nissan).

As far as bringing the sportier cars over go.... I think Honda will bring the big boys over. They always wait for others to do their thing, and Honda comes back with a bang. As for now, we can only dream.
