Default New Nsx Gets Shelved

I think this is bad news but probably good business sense. Honda needs a technological extreme flagship.

Sounds like a good move to me also. Most people don't want to shovel out 100k for a Honda, I know I wouldn't even think about it.

"We also understand that there's no replacement for the S2000 roadster in the future model programme either - but that might be explained by US market requests for a more direct rival to the Porsche Boxster. "

a more direct rival?? the s2000 and boxster (non S version) are matched up pretty well, with the s2000 inching out performance-wise.

hmm..

I am kind of glad to see the HSC project shelved. The concept car looked decent expect for that reat glass window... I am such a big fan of the 91-00 styling that it makes me a traditionalist!

However, I think a GT coupe from Honda would be great! And we may see it in future GT races...

I also wonder how Honda can produce two roadsters in the same product line?

Pure speculation by a author of two different mags. He states the same opinions in Automobile mag.
