I think the Acura is very impressive. There are no options, expect dealer installed extras (wood, gold trim, wheels), and the MSRP is $49,000. I didn't drive it, but the front seats are extremely comfortable and the dash is nicely finished. XM radio is standard, along with the navigation system that provides for real-time traffic reports in major cities. The system also transmits to your vehicle your service appointments and service bulletins for your review. The only area overlooked, that I know of, is the passenger seat. It does not have a height adjustment, and features 4-way power and power lumbar. I think that this car compares very well with other luxury sedans on price and features. Oh yeah, it is AWD to boot. Can you tell I like it?

I have read reviews of their amazing Super Handling AWD and it appears to be an amazing technological feat that they accomplished.

Not only does it vary the torque split between the front and rear wheels but it also varies the torque between the left and right rear wheels. The effect of this? Consider going fast around a curve and the inevitable oversteer that occurs - well more of the torque is sent to the outside wheel to counteract this effect. The result? Amazing neutral handling!!! :thumbup:

 

I think it looks so so. Lexus LS is far more better in comparison -- more money though. For a new design, it looks similar to Avalon and too american.
