I just wanted yall's thoughts on to whether or not Acura will ever try to step up and battle BMW, Mercedes, Lexus, and others in the luxury sport-sedan category... I know their 3.2 TL-S is very nice, but its not nearly as refined as the 528i, E class, or GS400... so when, if ever, will Acura step-up to produce a real upscale model? Here is the quote from the hondastyle front page:

"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 advancements and room to comfortably seat four."

It won't go anywhere near head to head with premium sport sedans, it will still fall short of its goal. So, anyone know if they have any plans to step up their game or will they always keep their cars for the masses rather than the elite?
