Earlier this week, Autocar reported that future high-end Acura models had been canceled (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/01/06/honda-kills-s2000-replacement-v8-program-rwd-acuras/). As it turns out, those rumors were more than a bit premature, as Jeff Conrad, Vice President of Acura, has informed his dealers via email that the long-awaited "Tier 1" program is moving forward on schedule. It's believed that the program is based around the large rear-wheel drive Acura (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/06/13/spy-shots-2011-acura-rl/) that would go up against the best Germany has to offer. Also back on the table is a V8 engine (http://www.autoblog.com/2008/11/28/honda-v8-coming-in-2015/) to power this range-topping sedan from Honda. But it's not all good news for auto enthusiasts. Still dead, sadly, is the NSX revival. We're also unaware of a planned replacement for the soul-stirring S2000 roadster or a drop-top version of the upcoming CR-Z hatchback. Oh well, you can't win 'em all. Thanks for the tip, Nick!
