I'm not a fan of concept cars .... for me the Acura is pushing into offensive territory, its angularity reminds me of the F117 Stealth Fighter (not a bad thing if you're trying to dodge radar traps) and IMHO not very proportionate.
The LF-A, for me looks great, it has a very muscular profile that also looks somewhat elegant
.... possible alternative to a A-M???
I do agree with Ingolstadt, with Japanese cars not having much "family" resemblance, but is that always a bad thing ???
... case in point M-B.

IMO...sometimes family resemblance leads to disastor...like Nissan. Their cars are getting uglier and uglier IMO. Right now, I think Americans are improving styling a lot, but I'm sure the quality still can't compare to the Japs. So I'll just stick to European companies that all have major family resemblance:D

Just saw both....The Acura looks like a Japanese version of the Camaro....The LF-A doesn't look that special, really. Both look too....pointy, and not in the greatest places either.

Actually, I think Nissan has sorta lost it's way with the new GT-R. It's all sleek and styled. I liked it better when the GT-R was just a Skyline with a bunch of brutal looking add-ons. And I like the LF-A better than the GT-R concept.

Yes, like Audi who have decided to put that grille in all of their cars...

The LF-A, because its pretty :D

Just a question to all: Which one do you think will be heavier?

I'd say the Honda. I think the All wheel drive system will weigh it down a bit.

True, Lexus doesn't really have the history of building Lightweights that Honda does. But isn't the Honda bigger overall as well? I just can't imagine that Toyota is ging to build a smaller RWD car that's heavier than a larger AWD car, not since everything else seems comparable. Could happen though, Honda are good at this sort of thing.

I guess we'll have to wait till they're production....

The ASSC will be heavier, I think.
