190 votes later, rear wheel drive is the winner for what Acura needs most to improve it's brand image. To be truthful, Acura as a car manufacturer aiming to become a tier 1 luxury brand should have a rear wheel drive platform in it's lineup. Many critics have also complained that Acura doesn't offer anything bigger than a V6. The option of having a V8 engine captured 14% of the vote. However, that wasn't the second place winner.
The second place winner was the lack of a sports coupe, which got 43 of the 190 votes (22%). It's funny how Honda tries to market Acura vehicles as sports performance oriented, but no longer offers a sports coupe to choose from. Acura missing a sports coupe barely beat "Acura needs a better flagship sedan." As many people know, the Acura RL is not doing very well as Acura's flagship. It's "like it or leave it" V6 and SH-AWD configuration doesn't appeal to many, especially when compared to the Acura TL in configuration and price.
Another interesting note about the poll results is that top 3 "winners" were very close within each other. Unlike other polls where there is one definite winner, which shows what Acura really needs to work on, the results show that there are a lot things Acura needs to work on.
