How can you say that? Acura had the PERFECT opportunity in 2002 with the facellift to give the car a good bump in power, or offer a factory SC and make it competitive. Instead they just made it look a little different and made it heavier. They sure did not make it competitive.
You will get no argument from me that they havn't been pro-active enough to satisfy need. IMO the economy had something to do w/re-design both with the yen & dollar, hence the opportunity was not perfect. Under your comments and Acuras absence of improving the model it should have been done before 2002. Lets not forget the changes in 97, as little as they were its supposed to be a better car. So that leaves 5 years between the small exterior improvements from 97-02 somewhat like going to a 993 to 996 w/o upgrades but the first year of the 996 had problems. So we all want a upgrades sooner than the mother land can produce them....agreed. As for the SC, thats what CT/BBoost is doing already and unless you can substancially improve what they are doing, then whats the point.
The NSX has had less than acceptable power for 10 years, what makes you think they would produce a new car with even acceptable power??
