Default ACURA NSX

Okay, All this GT-R buzz is driving me nuts. Seems to be a fantastic performer. Styling is really not doing it for me. Especially for 70k.

What exactly do we know about the next generation Acura NSX??

The head of Honda said they will focus on lightweight and will try to make it a v10. They've also told us several times they have certain dead lines, then they break them. The last tokyo auto show is a prime example.

aka, nothing. There will be GT-R's on every street corner before we get a new NSX. Excellent timing as usual for Honda.

It's going to be a boring car heavy coupe with a big-ass engine hanging on top of the front wheels...

Nothing like the old NSX...

I've read about 16,000 threads about this on nsxprime. There ain't $hit in the works for this car worth taking seriously at this point. They had a FR awd car as their prototype until recently, they did some consumer research with current NSX owners and burned down the entire building the ASCC was designed in [the sh-awd FR prototype].

The next NSX will be awesome and avantgarde when it comes out. Then 12 years later it will still be being produced with minor updates and be way behind the times.

I hear that Honda is trying to fight the miata/solstice market and make a K20 roadster that is converted to RWD

make it between 20-25k instead of going after the boxster/z4 market

Although, when some guy posted he went to the future concepts showcase at Honda HQ in California, it showed new concepts for their desire to stay in the boxster/z4 market with their next convertible.

Unfortunately the S2000 is not in the Z4-Boxster market anymore because of its performance...

it was in 2000, not anymore...
