Forbes Hits It On The Head About Acura

ThaAcStangSwerver · 04-07-03, 02:37 PM

Maybe more article like this would help "mule-headed" Acura change some of it's ways.

NickD · 04-07-03, 03:26 PM

Wow, that article addressed most of my general complaints about Acura...

JizJizJiz · 04-07-03, 03:47 PM

So true!

KaPGuN 5speed92 · 04-07-03, 04:07 PM

agree as well, article pretty much hit the nail on the head.

**B+O** · 04-07-03, 04:10 PM

they are kind of on point but true honda has always been front wheel drive...save for the S1200 (i think that was the name)

Triton3K · 04-07-03, 04:18 PM

That was definately a great article and very true. Honda/Acura need to get their sh!t together.

"....even for a great carmaker like Honda."
this should be a smack in the face for them

"More Americans knew the Legend name than the Acura name"

Yeah. It had the "chain drive" drivetrain.

Jerry Flint is always on the money. That guy knows his $hit when it comes to the auto industry. Great stuff!

SpeedDemon · 04-08-03, 03:04 AM

Incredible article.... finally someone that knows what they are talking about. Hopefully some execs at Acura get their hands on that article. God, how much would I love to see a V8, RWD, 50/50 (or close to) weight balanced Legend. Could you see it now.... the 2006 Legend sells 60,000 units.

When they call their cars luxury, they better mean luxury. Flint was also right when he said they're nice cars, but compared to other luxury vehicles they're pretty bland.

Acura needs to spice it up some.
