Default New NSX Update

I'm liking the new look. I don't think it's design is ahead of it's time as the previous model, but it's very nice.

I hate how the new cars are trying to look too futuristic and crap. They'll just look really dated in 20 years.

yuck,,,,,, last thing i wanna see is another GTR looking thing. The huge big tall cars
The GTR front end already looks enough like an EVO as it is.

05 NSX FTW


They should focus a bit more like supercars do. Afterall that was the goal of the NSX. To play with Ferrari's and such. I'm affraid I'd say an 05NSX is a much better body style then the NSX which looks like some kind of pumped up TL on steroids. Call me a "hater" but I'm sooo tired already of the G35 look, that's great for a car that's for commuting it's not great for a supercar. I'd like to see some more Italian supercar type styling rather then the big hunk and clunk of the Japanese rally car look.

How in the world can you guys call it tall from those pictures? There are no comparison shots with other cars, nobody is standing next to it, nothing at all to indicate how tall that car is it is.

...in comparison to ITSELF.

Look at it's overall amount of car above the wheel centerline. Not only talking TALL here but a lot of physical car very far above the center of the wheels.

For example look at the S. In a side shot, less then 50% is above the TOP of the wheels at least.... and that's a damn $30k honda. This thing for 100k or so has a lot amount of mass up high.

It's not to say that it's incapable of great handling but... what are we shooting for? It's simple phsyics we know low and wide is the way to go. Why not drop the cockpit and body lines down and make this car a step AHEAD of the competition like the GTR instead of a side step.
