    Acura - Listen up! THIS is the car everyone's been waiting for!! Twin turbo V6?? Hell yes! Rear drive based with an AWD option? PLEASE! (I know I know, it's probably going to be FWD based like a good Accord variant should). grr So, Performance Performance Performance?? OK I'll take a 6 speed manual with all that please. :) You KNOW you can do that. Meanwhile, your man Marek all out FRIGHTENED me when I heard him repeat - several times - the 4-Letter word... "Tidy". NOOOOO!! It's like real estate ads talking about your future home's "Cozy kitchen". Ugh! Give us some room in that interior! I'm tired of tight seats and no leg room in the back for my passengers. And your RLX just isn't doing it for me (anyone really, based on pure numbers!) and the ILX is too small. A new TLX could maybe pull it off, but we need rear legroom! And there is simply NOOOO reason this car couldn't be a .... (drum roll please.....) HATCHBACK!! Look at those fastback lines! My family's fleet is already proliferated by SUVs so I'm all set with that. But at almost 16 years old my Mazda 6S V6 5-speed manual HATCHBACK is all I could have ever hoped for in a car (if only it could have NOT been made in a Ford factory...). I still have it because nothing has come along to replace it, and now my son drives it. So I "settled" and bought a gently used Lexus GS350 F-Sport AWD to get my kicks in plus go to dinner with my wife in style. However, my 6'-4" sons hate being holed up in the back of anything we own other than our 11 year old Highlander - my other son's car - which has dance-floor space in the rear. I need a compromise, something powerful and sporty, practical, sexy AF to look at and FUN! OK, now I could go off on a tangent talking about your guy Marek, but I'll leave that to the other commentators... Please do this right! Oh, and make it reliable! Acura has fallen down the Consumer Reports reliability slide lately. Time for a reset! Mazda did it, so can you!

    Acura has been behind in design ever since they abandoned the 2004-2008 TL. They should have took elements from that TL and then create something new. But instead they do it completely different🤦🏽‍♂️ I see more 04-08 TL’s on the road then i do new Acuras. But this design? This design will bring them back on top! I hope the build it! I went to lexus after i sold my 08 TL. With this design id go back to Acura!

    Looks great, however if it's a front wheel drive car it's a no go for me.

    Acura, if you build the Type S concept as is, people will come. I'm an Audi and gen 1 Acura guy, and I'd switch on the spot for the Type S. Don't dilute the concept's design!

    Acura is like that dad that will give exactly what you don't want and expect you to love it. Pfft... why bother even hoping anymore

    Should you trust anyone dressed like that to design your car?

    The car looks great, but I guess it will still be front wheel drive,

    Hopefully, Honda has finally awakened. Its automotive designs have been so dull in the last 10 years.

      ironically hondas have looked better than acuras over the past 15+ years which is kind of hilarious, this is the first good looking acura since the 90s
