You mean Acura Legend?
Oh man, that car looks sooo damn hot. They remind me of a R33 Skyline though they looked slightly different.

It's about time someone actually read the quotes in the first post. "AWD luxury car". The new RL is the only one that meets that description.

I thought honda was going to make the Accord AWD too. There was like a 20 minute clip of it on the internet just over a year ago when they tested it in the snow.
The placement of the motor will be horizontal, like EVOs and WRX/STI. We dont see them often as RWD anyways. The rwd conversion can be done on these family/luxury cars, but my hand still goes out for the S2K.

RL/Legend same thing. And the the car that they are displaying at sema is going to be an endurance car. If they are also going to display their drift car, i haven't heard any mention of that. But who knows maybe it will be a surprise

Those zanny Japanese, always ripping off Blake's style

I'd like to see more RWD conversions in drifting. My Leg only took a day (plus ongoing R&D) to convert and is rocking hard. Now I just need to get better at driving it

Props to Spoon for finally figuring out what the whole drift thing is about, with style!

"Through extensive track testing at various circuits throughout Japan,
we are proud to unveil our Acura RL race car."

Now that's a surprise.
