The Porsche 918, which uses VERY SIMILAR technology, corroborates this theory. So unless you think that $0.8 Million is going to turn into $100K just because it says "Acura" on the back instead of "Porsche", then be my guest.

I just don't think it's going to be anywhere NEAR affordable when compared to cars offering similar performance and quality/interior/etc.
dude. Im not saying it won't be expensive, but it won't be anywhere NEAR teh price of the 918... Cmike laid it out pretty much spot on
