quite an ugly car.

prowlers arent the most beautiful cars, but they arent really a car they're roadsters, and a true roadster looking car. id never buy one unless they made one with a hemi or something. they arent too close stock

in the mid 14s range

2800lbs
253hp
255ft-lbs

I got to check out a prowler about a year ago at a chrysler dealership. I crawled up underneath it and everything.

It has the 300m motor for starters, but the automatic transmission is in the back, not mated to the motor.. has a trans axle or some ---- connecting it. Just an interesting setup. Oh yeah, none of them come in 5 speed (what the salesman told me).

I always liked to see them towing around that gay colour matched trailer for people on roadtrips in their uncomfortable ass prowlers. I heard that all the rap stars were buying them for some fucked up reason.. like master P and ----.

Acura is an American Brand, they basicaly took the Sporty looking Hondas and called them Acuras they tot the name honda wasent sporty enofgh ::)

Acura only exsist in United States and Canada, it's basicaly more luxurious and sporty hondas named acuras.

Honda is supose to be the economical cheep cars over here.

If it wasent for Americans we would have the Civic Type R's here long time ago, the old once and the new once... 8)

The Intergras that comes from Japan does not wear the Acura badge only. They are labeled as "Honda Acura." Both names are listed on the trunk lids.

In the article they stated they would start selling the TypeR in the fall of 2003 as a 2004 model. It is now summer 2004...where is the car? ???
