Enormous Acura Advanced Sedan rides on huge wheels and has a roof made entirely out of glass

12th December 2006

Take a look at the Acura Advanced Sedan Concept, which is the work of Honda's top US designers - Acura is the firm's premium brand in America. The concept is an enormous four-door designed to show how the Acura brand can appeal to US tastes. Riding on huge wheels - 22 inches up front, 23 inches at the rear - the show star has a muscular look. Access to the cabin is via Mazda RX-8-style 'suicide' doors, opened with a neat Acura badged handle. Once inside, passengers sit in luxury underneath a roof made entirely of tinted glass.
