Acura Nexera Vision Concept.

When was the last time we saw a really good looking Acura? One that we actually would love to own and drive. I can’t remember myself. It’s just been too long. This new Nexera Vison Concept is in my uninformed and unprofessional opinion, the best looking Acura design in many, many years.

Of course the new concept mostly exists to introduce an new design language for Acura. And guess what, that design will be an SUV. As a matter of fact, we already know it will be the next generation RDX Hybrid. Which was already previewed a few months ago. And as far as we can see, all the new RDX is getting from the Nexera concept is the tail light design. Maybe it will adopt the nice curved display as well, but who knows…

The great looking concept is from the Acura California Studio in Los Angeles. And really, what it should become is the next Acura Integra. Of course, many will hope this could be the next NSX, but I disagree. As I really couldn’t care less about a new NSX. A car most of us will never see. A good looking design like this should be used on something most of us can afford.

Let’s hope Acura is really working on a new car influenced by this design. Instead if just tail lights for yet another SUV…

  1. Doesn’t the whole shape looks like a duck bill? they should just contract it out to a design firm.

  2. The whole front wing thing has been done by Ferrari a couple of years ago, and Acura has a similar design on their IMSA race car.

    This just proves to me the whole front end design on the RDX concept was false, as I thought it was. Why would Acura show a model a year and a half before sale date?

    Must have something special cooking up for the next gen Integra.

  3. This isn’t going to affect the RDX design AT ALL. That form is already done. It only signals a direction for Acura of more curvaceous forms (less hard angular lines, which I like) and the tail/marker light forms – as the Acura calipers. Gimmicky, right? Don’t expect the front wing. The lip line will be much higher and I’m expecting they’ll focus on large backout bumper sections with embedded headlights because Honda is moving in that direction.
