Acura Teases Precision EV Concept, Set To Debut August 18 in Monterey
Acura Teases Precision EV Concept, Set To Debut August 18 in Monterey-October 2024

Ok, so here’s the thing: I don’t usually care about concept cars. Typically, if we see one that’s amazing and totally something that a manufacturer should actually build, it never again sees the light of day after it does its little event circuit for a few months. That’s not usually the case with Acura, though.

See, Acura’s concepts have a history of not only being reasonable (aka lacking in insane claims) but reasonably close to production models. That’s why I’m super stoked about the Acura Precision EV concept that the brand is debuting in Monterey, CA, on August 18, during Car Week.

The Precision EV teaser shows a model that shares some design language with the already and models, but presumably without any of those other models’ internal combustion guts. Is it likely to be groundbreaking? Nope, but it is likely to be awesome.

What, other than its looks, can we infer from this short teaser video? Not a whole lot, to be honest, but that won’t stop us from engaging in a little wild speculation.

Neither Honda nor Acura have gotten too deep into the EV thing, with the U.S. only seeing , while Europe and Asia get the . What then will underpin this new EV model? Probably nothing from either of those models because both would come off as underpowered and without a sufficient cruising range for a modern luxury EV.

If Acura wants to be taken seriously with a production EV, it’d need around 300 miles of range and at least 250 horsepower, preferably more, but we’ll have to wait and see what the concept tells us.

At $950, Would You Go All-In On This 1984 Plymouth Colt GTS Turbo Project?
One of the calling cards of today’s Plymouth Colt is its “Twin Stick” overdrive gear change, which gives the car eight speeds going forward and two in reverse. Let’s see if this project car has anything else to offer. Just as Goldilocks discovered when appropriating Papa Bear’s lifestyle and...

At $8,600, Would You Go Topless In This 1994 Cadillac Eldorado?
The seller of today’s Caddy claims they should be selling it at auction but says who’s got time for that? Let’s see if we have the time for this custom convertible at its non-auction price. Many of you agreed that the $950 asked for yesterday’s was “chump change.” Even...

At $18,500, Would You Lean Toward Buying This 2022 Ford Mustang?
Today’s Mustang is being sold by a towing yard, which means it’s probably a lien sale. Let’s see if this clean title convertible is priced to put a new buyer on the hook. The general consensus on last Friday’s was that it would be the perfect car for someone...

The (and Tacoma) have a death grip on used values. It’s been this way for years. Go ahead, go try and buy any TRD trim that’s a couple of years old; it’ll cost you as much as a new one — not that you could buy a new one...

At $5,900, Is This 1984 Nissan 720 4X4 A Solid Deal?
According to its seller, today’s Nissan 4X4 shows “pride of ownership.” Let’s see if it would take swallowing one’s pride to pay its asking price. Opinions were split on how well the design of yesterday’s has held up over the years. Some of you commented that the design still...
