i dunno... i would like to know why they are using s2k body panels... why dont they just cover it up like every other company.... that car looks horrible it would of been much nicer if it was covered up lol.

somtimes honda has brainfarts...

well hopefully it will be a great car when it comes out and ill be sure to rag the **** out of it when it gets to my acura dealer just because its not my car

I'm pretty sure honda used s2k panels because of the luke-warm welcome they had with their concept. From what I hear they are changing what the car looks like, however that doesn't change the fact that it's going to be an FR v10 with perhaps SH-AWD. Who cares if they use s2k panels, it's a mule to test out the drivetrain and engine.

I think they should have stayed MR. That was a staple of the NSX. Stupid Honda.

What makes you think it's going to be mid-engine? That bulging hood makes me think they're going front-engine.

I'm pretty sure it's FR, you might think it's MR because of the exhaust canister but take a look at the 350z, it has something similar since it has a V engine. There actually is no bulge in the hood, thats just a reflection or something, you can find better pics here.

The hood of that car seems to go up while the regular S2000 hood is flat. It looks like the car they're driving has more room under the hood. Compare these two pics because I see a bulging hood.
