  | Acura wants to add V8s to lineup  The Acura division is pushing Honda management to approve development of a V8 powerplant for its luxury lineup, according to Automotive News. Honda R&D boss Hirohide Ikeno said he's encouraging top executives to give the green light. "I'm pushing for it," he said. "That is our direction." Acura is often criticized for not offering V8 engines with any of its cars. Ikeno said V8s are only being considered for Acura, and none would appear in the Honda lineup. The next-generation NSX sports car is expected to feature a V10. Source: - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER  |

| Re: Acura wants to add V8s to lineup This is great news!  It's time for Honda to step up and create something to really compete with Lexus, would be nice if they could have RWD too  Rather than SH-AWD  |

| Re: Acura wants to add V8s to lineup Yes, most times a luxury car means a lot of power and this isn't easy without a V8 |
