Not a bad little review. After watching this, I stand by my view that the Top Gear show is on borrowed time. Harris is the best part of the show now, but he still isn't on par with any of the grand tour guys.

 

[Mook]

Harris needs to go back to doing his own thing.

 

[SleeperLS]

I bet it comes to that

 

[Mook]

It really is a gorgeous car tho.

 

[Blood on Blood]

Yes

Harris is best on his own, when he's not competing with the Trio.

And lets be honest, TG will NEVER be as good as it was with the Trio, because those 3 defined so much of the shows character that anything else comes off as a imitation, even when its good.

I really enjoy Chris' reviews. He's best when he's strapped into a car having to talk an audience through what its driving like. To be honest, I think Chris is very much a younger Tiff Needel in terms of his style.

I'm glad I read your reply, because I would have had a repost about Tiff He's almost exactly like him but instead of being at a 10 in terms of energy, he's a 6, which is perfect. I do miss 5th gear though, they were really good at reviewing cars and the head to heads were awesome.

My boss has one, Fucking Awesome

For some reason, when i see this car i think of the Lexus LFA which is a far more exciting car. With 150k+ I would buy a different car.

 

[LoveSpank]

I dunno if I'm on board. I'm such a fan of the first model but this being partially hybrid and having that price tag it's just meh to me

 

[10sec]

Well OBVIOUSLY the first model is the best one, it was insane. Still is insane, but the new NSEX is pretty awesome.

 

[LoveSpank]

Not for that price tag.. for that money like he stated I would want a little better interior and not all the hybrid crap.. If I wanted a Prius I would buy a Prius.

 

[RedBeard]

Saw one the other week while walking around the neighborhood, the car is gorgeous.

Are you saying you wouldn't like a Porsche 918 or Mclaren P1 because hybrid? Most of these "supercars" are going that route as it helps give a lot more torque/linear power band.

I think these are fantastic. Using electric motors up front for vector steering and an electric motor in the back to take up for when you shift or are out of boost. Best of both worlds and still puts out a ton of power.

The 2017 Acura NSX: A Hybrid Supercar - IEEE Spectrum

Great article that dives into the nitty gritty of how it all works.

 

[LoveSpank]

I'm kinda of a hater when it comes to all the hybrid BS. And no I wouldn't want a 918 or a P1. Both stunning cars inside and out, but call me old fashioned. Give me an all motor car with a clutch and a manual gear box.

 

[Mook]

They still have motors....theyre just supplemented with batteries. Aint nothing wrong with that when you're making 900hp.

 

[Bru]

I think the OG NSX is overrated.

 

[LoveSpank]

I'm stating that for the money it's not worth it. And Fawk more batteries I'd rather have less HP and no hybrid battery supplemented crap.

 

[Mook]

You sir, are being a dumb dumb.

 

[LoveSpank]

Also I would take a Koenigsegg over a 918 or a P1.

[Mook]

Over the 918, yes. P1, no.

 

[LoveSpank]

Now Mikey don't start...

 

[LoveSpank]

And how am I "dumb" ? Because I personally don't like hybrid supercars.
