I doubt they'll keep the hood with vents on a production car, but they are finally realizing that had a crappy design ethos and have been slowly correcting their mistakes. A step in the right direction with this car.

Real beast of a car is what the marque needs; one without all the EV junk. Just a straight up rear wheel drive, high revving with good power to weight. Expand on what made the S2000 special and put that DNA into sports sedans, etc...

Whomever took the helm for what they've been making the last decade should be put to pasture.

Am I missing something? All I saw at that link is a race car version of their new TLX.

I thought the name TLXGT might have given it away...

Still waiting the 2015 NSX. Not getting excited about cars that fail to be produced.

The point I was trying to make is "so what"? Has no relevance to any exciting production vehicle.

Indeed. To address the OP - "something like this" is already in production. Or will be soon. It's the 2015 TLX.

i like the tlx, but i would have thought that the v6 awd model would have gave the option for a m/t but only auto
