| Acura New Sports Sedan and Studio E Concept Vehicle to Debut at 2003 NAIAS |
Detroit, December 13, 2002 ---
Acura all-new sports sedan and 'Studio E' panel-side element concept vehicle
are set to debut at the 2003 North American International Auto Show in January.
New Acura Sports Sedan
The new Acura sedan will go head-to-head
with other premium sports sedans from Europe and Japan. It will combine
a state-of-the-art, high performance i-VTEC engine and race-bred suspension
with a luxuriously appointed cabin boasting the latest technological advances
and room to comfortably seat four.
The 2004 model will give Acura an entry-level luxury vehicle positioned
squarely between the hot-selling RSX sports coupe and the 3.2 TL luxury
performance sedan. Exterior styling highlights include an aggressively chiseled
design with short front and rear overhangs and 17-inch wheels and tires.
Inside, the driver-oriented cockpit features a long list of high-tech appointments
and luxury features.
The new car is slated to go on sale in spring of 2003.
Honda Studio E Concept
Studio E merges a style of nightlife
transportation with a high-tech, multi-function platform that can lay tracks
--- both rubber and audio.
Derived from the Honda Element, which goes on sale Dec. 19 and maximizes
versatility for sports equipment, people and the outdoors, the Studio E
concept applies this versatility toward the urban crowd for nightlife and
music. Studio E's interior operates much like a band's backstage dressing
room with adaptable seating that can be configured into a lounge. Additional
features include a DJ turntable and extensive on-board audio electronics
capable of mixing music or showing videos. The paneled exterior styling
features a passenger-side center-opening side cargo door similar to the
one found in the Element. Aggressive engine tuning, high-performance suspension
and a lowered body underscore the city-performance edge to Studio E.
