The Acura ''Advanced Sports Car Concept'' will make its debut at the 2007 North American International Auto Show in Detroit, the division announced today.

On show at the recent Los Angeles motor show, Acura's Advanced Sedan Concept 'illustrates Acura's commitment to modern design and cutting-edge style', apparently. Acura warns that 'we can expect upcoming products to reflect this progressive, forward-thinking styling.'

Acura is a strange brand. Only now is Honda beginning to figure out what they want it to be, and as the Civic has moved upmarket, it's edged out its more sophisticated cousin.
