Default RIP NSX

According to the latest Wheels magazine Honda has axed plans to produce a new NSX. Instead they will concentrate on a new high powered luxo-barge.

If it's true I guess the S2000 is Honda's performance flagship. I wonder where Honda will take it (let the rumours begin... oh, they already have!).

Yup, the HSC. The Wheels article said they had canned development.

I believe that the Type R is being canned too and if I recall correctly the whole integra range is being canned but Im not as sure on that.

Really is a shame to hear this stuff.

Yeah, real shame. Specially with the increased rumours of axing the Insight.
I know they never sold more than 10 downhere but the Insight is a thing of beauty when you consider what it was designed for.
