Since when did Acura change the car back to mid-engine?
NSX Could Hit Tokyo in 2009, Followed by RWD Offerings
Written By: Seyth Miersma
Honda has been toying with us for a while now about the release date for the next version of the NSX. Originally the car was slated to be revealed at last year’s Tokyo Motor Show, but the bad rap on the Acura Advanced Sports Car concept put the kibosh on that thinking.
New reports are pinning the launch of the new car to the next Tokyo show in 2009, and claiming that the styling of the car has been revised. The new car allegedly sports a new front section with “Chevrolet Corvette undertones,” could go into production by 2010.
Honda’s plans for rear-wheel-drive vehicles don’t end with the new NSX however, the car is said to be the first in a line of new RWD rides that will be pitted against the Lexus, Mercedes, and BMW’s of the world. There are said to be plans for an S2000 type Acura sports car, a RWD sedan, and eventually a luxury offering that will be roughly 7-series size.

The mags look borrowed from Infiniti. Other than that, the car looks pretty good! And the mags too!

I wonder how quickly those low taillights will get covered in soot and cooked from exhaust gasses.
