    Acura Planing Product Blitz

      Do you miss the ZDX? If so, there might be hope for you. 

    Pebble Beach could mark the debut of a nearly production-ready version of the Acura Precision concept. The concept debuted at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show and previewed Acura's Precision Crafted Performance design theme first seen in production on the 2019 Acura RDX.  While there are (hopeful?) rumors that the 4-door coupe will wear the name Legend, there is not enough evidence to support them. What that means for Acura's aging RLX sedan is anyone's guess. 

    Also coming is an updated Acura TLX with a Type-S version, a new Acura MDX, and rumor has it even the ZDX may be making a return.  All of these could debut over the next 12 to 18 months, but Pebble Beach is in August, so we'll just have to sit tight until then.

    Rebadged Hondas, yawn.  What we want is more lemmings to jump off the crossover coupe cliff.  Porsche has one coming, Acura needs to get in there.

    Acura was arguably one of the first. 

    What we really need are more crossover sedans.

    I am holding out for double decker sedans or crossovers with 2 levels of seating.  Even better if you can drive from the 2nd level for more luxurious views of the road.  That will be the next body style when people start hating on mom’s crossover and grandpa’s sedan and want something new.

    They've canceled the Airbus A380 you know... double-decker is already passé. 

    Or maybe you're thinking Megabus

    No Mommy Mobile. I am looking for a modern Typhoon, Trailblazer SS EV style. Not more of the drag my ass on low riding cars that get lost in the deluge of coupe style blandness.

    LOL, "coupe style blandness".  We are in the middle of the sea of vanilla crossovers, they are ALL family appliances.  Any coupe or sedan with some style will really stand out.  Whatever your preference of course, just don't pretend that crossovers are exciting unless you get a 100k pumped up Grand Cherokee or X5 or Porsche.

    This.  There aren't many exciting looking crossovers out there.  Plenty of nice ones, but not many exciting ones.

    I totally get what your saying as both cars and CUV's have become very bland and that is why I clearly state the two SUVs that I did as they stood out from the crowd. We really need some exciting changes.

    @Matt 967 Welcome Matt to Cheers and Gears. Look forward to your input here and learning more about what you drive and like and thoughts on the auto industry.

    Get on your General boys to do this. Their CUV lineup is as bland as anybody else's. No CUV as a high performance street version and no CUV has a high performance off-road version.

    Totally agree with you. With the Supercharged motor in the Corvette, they so could build an awesome performance line of SUV/CUVs.

    They could do the off-road thing too. Those don't need some monster motor crammed in there.

    The concept looks beautiful, but how many times have we heard Acura is going for a new look, new this, new that?  I think what will really help their case is to add more letters.  I personally would love to tell people I have an TLX with SH-AWD Type-S... hell, throw the whole keyboard on the bumper.

    • I want to know: Did any american actually get the $1776 cheque that was promised by trump? I want to know: How many dumb phoquing americans ACTUALLY believed they were going to get a $1776 cheque? I want to know: If you actually DID get a cheque promised by trump because of the trillions of dollar that the tariffs have generated...did it come at the expense of another socialist cheque that was supposed to be given to you anyway?    I want to you:   How many MORE lies are you stupid americans going to fall for BEFORE you actually DO something about it BEFORE it ACTUALLY DOES become too phoquing late to do something about it WITHOUT the use of guns? 
    • Except Jon...NOBODY is fighting for this constitution republic.   Lots of words talking about fighting for this constitution republic. But NO actual action...  Crickets... Oh wait...clown suits...   THIS is how its actually done in countries that are NOT afraid... And look...no guns are used if gun violence is frowned upon...    The clown suits have done nothing...and if it was mildly successful...the clown suits have...stopped. Like I keep on saying... CRICKETS... 
    • A compendium of California car chronicling - say that three times real fast ... Entering Topanga Canyon, but still inside an L.A. zip code, was this Beverly Hillbillies type of truck set against the dry vegetation in the foothills and canyons. Hey, come back here! Seen going toward Ventura and Santa Barbara was this vision.  I think the convertible works very well with the shapes below the beltline.  The notch on the Riv coupe was a little more challenging.  If we got to grow up around cars like this, we were very lucky! Seen while getting fuel and donuts was this older Chevy beauty.  It's not just me who loves silver and red/burgundy.  I don't know if this was true to factory, but it didn't matter.  However, it had that simple and durable 283 c.i. V8 and a 2 or 3 speed automatic.  I believe it was a 1962 Bel Air per my brief conversation with the owner. Wow ... that's the last-gen Riv and the place I saw it surprised me.  That's in South Central L.A.  You wouldn't have wanted to go in there when I was a kid.  That's a new housing block they built.  The other thing is that the 105 Freeway cuts through the base of South Central and you can get on and off easily with its bigger ramps. I saw this 1998 Olds Intrigue and remember how much I wanted one when they were released.  It all worked itself out ... some 10 years later! Hollywood Boulevard spotting, practically in front of the famed Chinese Theater ... some older "cherry" Chevy full size coupes and God knows what that black vehicle was.
    • Im not so sure about that.  fox "news" and trump propaganda has played a huuuuge role in deceiving these people.  And that level of deception ONLY deceives the weak, stupid and racist.     Not in denial.  Most of these maga filth are enablers, BECAUSE trump promises acceptance of racism, these vile uneducated  human beings  are ok in getting phoqued by the oligarchs of the usa BECAUSE the non-white population of the usa is getting phoqued WORSE than they are.   Any trump supporter is an ignorant soul.   Some trump supporters are racist and enable the corruption BECAUSE trump promises bad things to happen to non-whites.  These people are smart enough to understand the 'wink wink' language of trump.    But racism is bred by ignorance... They enable the corruption but are too stupid to understand ALL the consequences that pertain to trump's corruption. Jim Beam is closing down its main distillery in Kentucky factory for a year.   https://robbreport.com/food-drink/spirits/jim-beam-shutting-down-one-of-its-distilleries-in-1237417543/  https://apnews.com/article/jim-beam-bourbon-distillery-shutdown-kentucky-a8303cd04005a9108ff43690faad421b   Tariffs are a beautiful thing...  And the idiot americans bought into it.  CANADIANS (not Canada...and if you are smart, you will KNOW the difference and the meaning as to why I present it this way...) has boycotted american liquor.    Not realizing the consequences of tariffs and ESPECIALLY the insulting 51st state rhetoric.   The american idiots BELIEVE the excuses that its not the Canadian boycott that is causing a small down in kentucky booze sales but millennials not drinking because millennials believe drinking=bad...   jim beam... 55 million gallons of booze less in sales.  Didnt know that millennials NEEDED to drink THAT much of alcohol.  SHYTE!!!  Boomers and Gen Xers are phoquing alcoholics...  Here is another... The CEO of jack daniels said that boycotting Canadians are not a problem because Canadian sales are ONLY 1% of jack daniels sales... Well... https://www.kentucky.com/lexgoeat/bourbon/article313389656.html   "Jack Daniel’s parent says profits down 14% for quarter. $59M in losses this year" "Fiscal 2026 outlook is expected to remain challenging, the company said, “with low visibility due to macroeconomic and geopolitical volatility as we face headwinds from consumer uncertainty,” among other factors. Organic net sales and organic operating income are expected to continue to decline for the full year, the company said." Read more at: https://www.kentucky.com/lexgoeat/bourbon/article313389656.html#storylink=cpy   1. The jack daniels ceo laughed and scoffed at Candians boycotting them.  A CEO of a big business like the whiskey business and a big company like jack daniels should NEVER laugh at 1% sales losses...   2. Morons believed the LIE that Canada is ONLY 1% of jack daniels sales... 3. The ceo is a MORON himself following trump as he should have known better of the consequences of pissing off an ENTIRE nation...  4.  MORE lay offs in the kentucky area in the whisky business...  ALL of them maga a$$hol3$!!!   Not a sinlge brain cell between ALL of them NOT realizing the consequences and believing the deception of fox "news" and trump's words... YES!!! Do NOT be surprised.  THAAAAT many americans are THAAAAAQAQT phoquing stupid.  1. Since the 1960s or at least the 1970s...education has been defunded in your country. 2. Since at least the 1970s, ignorance has been worshipped in your country.   And ESPECIALLY the last 15 years.  Nah...just their vile bitterness and racism and as long as the non-white folk suffer more than them.  The hatred of these uneducated filth is truly a sickening site. So much so, that whatever trump tells them, they will believe it.  Canada became an enemy of the usa somehow, and these phoquers licked all that shyte up.  Canada has stayed away from visiting your loser country and all the touristy areas in your country are begging Canadians to come back.   So much ignorance involved as they do not understand why Canadians are not visiting and will not visit for a very long time.  But they did vote for trump knowing he was hell bent on destroying Canada.  And in these touristy places KNOW that Canada is what pays there dreams and wishes...  But these touristy places ALSO lay blame to Canadians as to why we are NOT visiting and blame us for their financial downfalls...  Not too bright as people if you ask me... It does not look like it... This mess you guys have put yourselves in is going to last a while longer.  A LOT while longer. Why? There is NO phoquing push back from ANYBODY in your useless country...  In Bangladesh...the people are revolting... https://news.un.org/en/story/2025/12/1166642  In Greece...the Greeks revolted when there was a train crash in 2023 that killed many and didnt like the authority's explanations as to why it happened...but as recent as this month... https://freedomnews.org.uk/2025/12/15/farmers-revolt-in-greece/ farmers are revolting... The authorities are threating farmers with criminal intent...yet Greek farmers are revolting... Why? FREEDOMS AND DEMOCRACY AND ALL OF THAT CRAP!!! After more than ten days of nationwide mobilisation, farmers’ protests last week escalated into open confrontation and clashes with riot police. Protesters have faced arrests and upgraded charges, while in Crete authorities are threatening to prosecute farmers under accusations of forming a “criminal organisation.” From the mountains of Macedonia and Epirus to the plains of Thessaly and Aitoloakarnania, and from olive-growing Messinia to tourist-heavy Crete, thousands of low- and lower-middle-income farmers have taken to the roads. National highways have been shut down, cutting key transport routes and effectively splitting the country into parts. Tractor convoys are marching through major towns and cities, border crossings, ports and airports have been occupied for hours, and state institutions have been targeted with militant interventions. The farmers’ movement has moved decisively beyond symbolic protest.       In the usa...crickets... There are MANY times where americans could have avoided this mess they find themselves in.  We COULD start in January of 2020.    crickets.... We could start with the 34 or so felonies he was convicted of but NO sentencing... crickets... We could start with the mar-a-lago court case when trump hoarded all those classified files and the case was not even addressed in court because trump bought himself out of that... crickets... Epstein files... crickets... Yeah...the whole lot of you are stupid and ignorant if you ask me...   COWARDS more than anything else as well!!!
