SlideShow: The Acura Precision Concept from the 2016 Detroit Auto Show

Acura's made a strong showing at this year's NAIAS, not just with the new NSX but with the Acura Precision Concept which is a swoopy, angular and bold statement that points towards a possible new design direction. One of the more attractive concepts unveiled here in Detroit, the Acura Precision looks like part spaceship, part sedan. Distinctive rear suicide doors complement the general ease of access and appearance of space plus the beefy rear and curvaceous lines toe the line between sedan and coupe. It is definitely a refreshing take and one that we hope will invitably creep into Acura's future design language.
