Acura Precision Concept: First Look

While its SUVs have been selling well, Acura has had issues moving its sedans–namely the flagship RLX, whose sales pale in comparison to the RL years back. To reverse the trend, the company is trying to breathe new life into its four-door lineup by showing off the Acura Precision Concept, a bold if not overwrought statement that previews the styling that’s to come.

Proportions and a short front overhang suggest a rear-wheel drive car, even though its sedans have always been based on a front-wheel drive architecture. At 206 inches long, it’s 2.5 inches shorter than the Mercedes-Benz S-Class.
