Lots of weird compromises were made in an effort to make it so you could drive it every day is the long and short of what I read. I don't get the vibe that it lived up to expectations for how long it took.

Several journalists don't understand why they designed it as 'loud' as they did, and then did stuff like put focus into making it quiet, etc.

Time will tell on how it sells I think.

"The overall impression is that of a company that hasn’t built a sports car in a while, cautiously feeling its way with a complicated new machine produced by a rushed development program. It has the essentials; what it needs can mostly be added with software. The on-sale date isn’t until spring, so there’s still time to make the NSX of our dreams."

Rushed development program? Thing took damn near as long as the LFA to come out, but at least the LFA didn't have constant dick tease releases.

They changed the design for like the 3rd time not terribly long ago to deal with making the power train be longitudinal. It started off as a front engine, V-10 keep in mind, this 'program' has been a mess.

Looks like the Bmw I-8 and ford gt had a baby and I don't like it.

The main problem is this car will be over 150k. All the hype over the years and 95 percent of the people who waited for it will never be able to purchase it. Big wrong move in my opinion. Why buy this when you could get a ford GT? Or even for 30k more a mcclaren that is twice the car

 

[Gone_2022]

The previous NSX was amazing and it used simplicity to do it. A basic mid mounted N/A engine that delivered good acceleration for the time and speed. It looked great and could corner. Why make this a supercar now? The old NSX worked for you why cant you create something that is a V6 with twin turbos for power, give it both a manual and automatic option and slap a 60-70k price tag on it? Leave this hybrid supercar crap to those cars that cost a million right now. Stop trying to over think and make this car something it was never supposed to be just to appease people who will never buy it.

Previous NSX still looks way better than this.

Looks like and R8, Ford GT, BMW had a nasty gangbang.

 

[SleeperLS]

That sounds like a flop.

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

I don't think I've ever heard this car come up in casual conversation. I'm going to say it's a dud too. it looks unexciting, like all the other Acura vehicles

 

[Mook]

Talk about a GTR exhaust note

 

[Rent Free]

The whole car looks Bipolar and the articles confirm that. Sad thing is Ford and even the Z06 offer a fuck of a lot more for the money. Not to mention all the German options too and the LFA isn't even comparable to this abortion.

LFA V10 ........

 

[OffshoreDrilling]

good luck finding an LFA for sale

 

[Mook]

I think it still looks great

About as likely to find a Ford GT well even less likely than a Ford GT but still I don't think that's the point.

Isnt this thing getting into McLaren and Lambo money anyways?

PS its UGLY.

 

[cacicgtp7]

From the front looks a lot like an R8 - I don't mind it. Would drive. Can't afford.

 

[Xfirez51]

Listening to the videos, I'm hearing lots of "faint praise" and "left handed compliments". It's a nice car is what I hear.

 

[Rent Free]

Praise only means so much lets see what happens when the comparison tests come out.

 

[BrianG]

I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a slick looking car, but I'm finding it difficult to still be enthusiastic about it.

 

[Thirdgen89GTA]

The Noble M600 is what the NSX should have been. And the Noble is several years old already.

Not looks wise, but performance wise.

 

[Mike K]

I think people like it but they're fighting their anger at Acura. You don't necessarily want to like it because it was so hyped for so long. Meanwhile basically their entire lineup sucks save for the MDX. Acura is a hard company to root for right now.

 

[YoushallgoFo]

they said "its coming" in the 2012 superbowl commerical. How long has poor Jerry Sienfeld been waiting for this car.

that said, I think its a cool looking car. Whatevs, I'll never own one though.

 

[nytebyte]

Don't care for that "Acura" styling. They have some of the ugliest cars on the road, but this NSX isn't quite as bad as their mainstream offerings.

Still, they could have done better.

 

[Turk]

I guess I'm in the minority here but I think he car looks great. I also don't mind Acura's current lineup, just wish they had more sporty cars.
