I drove one hard for 11 laps in Vegas. I liked it, didn’t blow me away.
For 200k, it’s a pass for an R8. For 150k, it makes a lot of sense.
Looking forward to what they do for the S. I’m thinking 620hp

Lots of people said it was a good car, but they sold like shit, didn't they?This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I'll contradict a lot of what I've said about a lot of cars when I say "the interior is horse shit on this car".
Other than that, it's apparently amazing. Which is all that really matters.

It was too ambitious with motors and gizmos. If it was 140k new, 3500lbs with an 8000rpm 3.5L 525hp turbo.
It would have sold better.

Nsx is basically hand built. Corvette is not.
People wouldn’t feel slightly itchy driving the Acura if they’re not mullet infused rednecks or old men.
That’s the stigma

I feel like Acura really missed an opportunity with this car. It's a very capable car but is the automotive equivalent of an answer to a question that nobody asked. As with the GT-R most of the people that want an NSX cannot afford to pay six digits for one.
Do they really think they can sell 350 of these?
It was. I think Honda failed to acknowledge what made the original a success - simplicity and a compelling price point. Perhaps the former is neigh impossible in today's automotive world, but the latter is a back breaker in light of better competition with marquee badges.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member.

I feel like this car speaks to the same people who like the new supra

Yeah and those people can barely afford a Supra let alone a car that's costs x 2.5 times more. There's still a lot of 90's Japanese nostalgia as look at the Civic Type R being sold over MSRP in the USA for it's entire model run.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
I like the idea of the car but I don’t like the price. If I was in the market I wouldn’t want to spend that kind of coin on a NSX.
Jesus christ the new supra is ugly. Got more buldges than Nenshi.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
wasn't the original nsx 2x the price of the supra?
