There's already one of these videos floating around. BMW smoked it. It was odd too because the BMW would take it on a dig and roll. This Acura might have the potential to be modded to do some crazy things but stock it's not really a performer for the price point. Even the 2.0t Accord beat it from a roll and almost from a dig.

Been driving Acura’s for more than 25 years, but quality, reliability and customer service from the manufacturer has been for down hill since 2015. Local dealership is great.

While the Infiniti is a bit faster in 0-60 times compared to the Acura, it falls apart in the handling/engagement department.

Fast is subjective. It could be faster on a track than other vehicles. This is faster than a hellcat on most tracks, but will probably loose the half mile race to that car every time. But I know what you are saying, with a couple simple things like a tune, this thing will be nuts. Acura chose longevity as one of the important factors in this car. It should be able to run hundreds of thousands of miles relatively trouble free, which is more said than most manufactures. 52,000 for what you are getting is truly not bad at all. That price range does have fierce competition though
