2009 Future Cars, Trucks, & SUVs

2009 Acura NSX: Ever since Honda's HSC (Honda Sports Concept) debuted in Tokyo (2003), we've been anxious to hear news about when it will enter production as the next-generation Acura NSX. The aggressive two-seater HSC is composed of carbon fiber panels over an all-aluminum unit body frame and uses a 300-plus horsepower mid-engine V-6 shifted via F1-style paddle shifter transmission. While that concept enticed enthusiasts, Honda president Takeo Fukui has revealed that the production powerplant will be a V-10 with clear F1 lineage and that AWD is under consideration.
