This is just another standard playbook move executed by their marketing/branding department. In the first go-round after decades-long talk of producing another NSX after V1, and then again after their 2012 announcement, another half decade passes before coming to fruition, etc...that's the history of this car and this subject. Lately, just stuck in the state of constantly trying-too-had unfortunately and falling short repeatedly. They tried too hard on price, tried too hard in pressuring the dealerships to stock, tried too hard to get it out there fast, etc. it's hard for a leopard to change its spots.In the 'where are the production deliveries' thread, the leaks have pointed towards there not being a Type-R from the inside. But regardless if this is true or not from a production and/or financial standpoint, the branding department simply cannot operate on that type of platform at all whatsoever. Their job is to spin and do whatever it takes to keep stirring the pot and keep momentum alive, even if it's just in public perception building. They fight against any inkling of fizzle-out or failure and present the we're-gonna-conquer-the-mountain storyline. For all the remaining Acura fans out there, they do not want to be part of helping save something, they want to be part of building something. And talking about a down-the-line-in-the-future ever-infamous and renown Type R model is forward thinking for them at its finest, ...albeit just for show at the end of the day in all likelihood. The reality is, like just mentioned above, they would need that R car out now and not later...and definitely not later-later judging by their past ability to stick with their own release dates.
