The problem with the Type-S is that Acura has pretty much run into a wall, reaching the limits of a powerful front-drive car. It certainly has its charms, but "pusher" (rear-wheel-drive) rivals from Lexus, Infiniti and especially BMW have a balance and integration that no "puller" can ever match. And with power escalating in leaps and bounds in this segment, rear drive (or all wheel drive) is the only way to go.

If Acura wants to stay competitive in the entry-lux sports sedan game, it may be time to rethink at which end to put the driven wheels.

Just a ho-hum car next to the new G35 and IS350, IMO. No chance of it being picked by my money over any of the Germans.

I've been saying this for years... and that's the reason I can not take Acura seriously. Only amateurs make FWD cars in these segments.

You took my words mate, I agree with you, 100% ...!

I understand what you're saying Martin, however that imply's Audi is in fact an amateur in this class.
