@pres: if a Corvette owner (or wanna be) calls you a douche, I'll take that as a compliment of the highest order.

@pres: Not everyone is concerned with only $ per HP. Some of us want quality, style, and a not so awful interior. My own vanity would prohibit me from being that Corvette-douche.

Someone wreck one of these ASAP, so the motor can be immediately shoved into a fox body—thus retaining the 5.0 badge. Cheers to whoever pulls this off first.

@redman042: agreed on all counts although tone down isn't strong enough language. More like fire the 22 year olds and hire a real designer not interested in saying yes to the boss and making the f-g corporate grill even larger.

@Mad_Science: I drive to Tahoe / Reno from the SF Bay Area about 10x a year, I've seen all kinds of stupidity up there. I've often thought chains only served as a deterrent to the less inclined. [Pun intended]

I'm going to post this in every Acura thread in hope Acura is listening.

@Mad_Science:

Am I actually the first to say that this is a customer vehicle? They appear to be tire shop employees who shouldn't be able to afford this car.

I'm certain I saw this car in the last year or so driving over the SF-Oakland Bay Bridge. Beautiful and my first 'nice price' vote.

@Quake 'n' Shake: So we shouldn't feel empathy for the person you hit with your car, while making an illegal maneuver, because he had the audacity to be upset. Got it.

@akirachan: but then you have a car cover full of bird shit.

@brandegee: F*&%!! After all those years puttering in my ex-GF's Fox.. now you tell me.

Better highway mileage than any Camry, including the hybrid. Close to 200 HP. Damn respectable effort by the Koreans.

I'm from San Francisco. Most every gay man I know has a fruit fly (aka fag hag) or two that can stand in. These women are usually hot—they get free fashion advice from a pro.

@rimplestultskin, macberry fanboy: I'll hit the crack pipe with you. The E60 could never be compared to a Taurus or Accord. It's on the short list for my next car.

Out of all the V6 possibilities, they chose the 160HP VG30E?

I was crossing the street over here in suburban sprawl near where I work. It was dark, and I never heard the black Prius driving with the lights off.

I was having this same thought only yesterday. I currently have to take public transit due to the SF Bay Bridge closure, and was an occasional user otherwise. I may take the author's advice.

I'm sure I am in the minority here, but 800 HP in a RWD car seems absurd. I cant imagine roasting tires at 1/4 throttle in the first four gears to be fun for long. I would like to melt a set or two of tires though.

I'm shocked at how UGLY the backside is. The triple exhaust? Disgusting. Does it even function? (think IS-F)
