Styling looks great, seats looks very nice (although I am a sucker for red), but my problem with Acura is you can clearly tell they are Hondas with some nicer bits. The interior layout, especially the gauges, won't communicate the price tag this thing is going to command. Also, push buttons for gear selection
My brother in law might like it, he was shopping for an Audi S3/4, but got a Camry to hold him over. This might be an extra car for him to consider.
