Acura working on BMW X6 competitor

They need to work on the 3 series and 5 series competitors (TL and RL) prior to trying anything else.

I agree. They need to ditch their FWD platforms in order to have a true competitor to the 3's and G35's.

Wow,something that bigger and roomy than MDX.....

Monkey see, monkey doo

Acura doesn't have an original thought in their brains.

That grill was an original thought. That's what happens when Acura thinks.

LOL @ oto60.

Kill the grill, Acura. The first thing you should note is that Tier 1 luxury cars are not hideous.

Understand savings of sharing platforms, engines, components, etc., but to reach "Tier 1" Acura needs to distance itself from Honda.

Talk about a car that is NOT needed.


V-10 NSX

Acura should stop being so modest, they're already tier-1. Their vehicles are luxurious, sporty, well made and nice to look at what more do you need?

X6 competitor is not a good idea though... that's like over eating around the clock and going out of your way to not exercise in order to transform yourself into looking like Fat Ba$tard from Austin Powers :)

Whomever said Acura is Tier 1 needs to stop smoking the Rick James Cocaine. They are barely a luxury brand. A low volume, useless SUV is not going to help their brand.

Acura is a joke, their management is clueless.

I am suprised at the headline....
it didn't read, "Acura Working on a X6 Killer...."

lol im surprised also, normally it reads some kinda killer for whatever reason

don't you know that NOTHING can kill a BMW anything!!


V-10 NSX

well to correct you rediculous rant......BMW was the first to market with a Performance CUV for the record with the X5, the same goes with the X3..Lexus was the first to sell a luxury crossover in America with the RX and the X5 followed soon after focused less on luxury on about performance and from both these cars aline of crossovers were inspired....but a crossover could be any number of things from a wagon to a car based pickup truck and so on.

Isn't this a bad time to be coming out with another suv/cuv/whatever?

your an idiot......you never even read my post...so dont respond to it

The RX is a Camry on lifts. It was the first crossdresser. Toyota fanboys seem to like this "crossover" alot.

I'll take the Acura!

I see that the Acura management still haven't left the Karaoke bars yet.

Acura, which as we all know has always had FWD platforms, has now offered more AWD options. Smart move. What's wrong with marketing their SH-AWD as "the" Acura feature? It's what Audi does with Quattro, and it works very well in the snowbelt.

Now, most people tend to compare Acura with Audi simply because Audi is #3 of the Germans and Acura is #3 vs. its Japanese rivals (in the USA that is). Yet their products are never really aimed at each other. Instead, they shoot for BMW (in this instance) or Benz (in Audi's quest for 'tier 1' status). This isnt necessary.

Acura should focus on a full SH-AWD lineup to compete with Quattro. And BTW, "Type-SH" sounds much cooler than SH-AWD and should be used as the badge.

Also - wouldnt an Acura S2000-based roadster be sweet?
