I Think the new Viper is an example of what the NSX and C7 could have done should they have decided to go for a more classic sport car shape
You might change your mind when you see the front of the Viper in real life, looks like someone melted it in an oven. Horrible.

i've been up close to it in real life, don't judge from one bad angle picture. It's beautiful. Any car has angles that are unflattering.

^Last update was that it was supposed to be a "green" sports car...no thanks
No one has any clue what's going on. If by "green", the car has two electric motors, then yes I agree. That said, I don't see a 400+HP AWD supercar being a rival to the Prius anytime soon.

My thoughts? Honda is going to create a car that will at least rival the Nissan GTR in performance. It would be a waste of time and a disgrace to the Honda brand to deliver any less. I mean, their bogey has been right there in plain sight for years. There is absolutely no reason for them not to get this one "right".

I think we are going to be pleasantly surprised with what we get from Honda.

No way the NSX will beat the GTR in any performance category aside from more MPGs and less weight. No way.

Scrap this garbage and build a HSV roadcar with a tiny near-race quality V8.

Prove once more in the post-280ps era that no amount of FI, complex diff arrangements, and electronic dynamic control can defeat a well designed chassis, suspension, and engine.

I want to find whoever designs Honda's wheels and punch them, they've been so bad for so long now.

Looks great, but it'll never get made, it is a shame honda wont make anything exciting anymore. At least their pressure washers are good.

It's actually lower than the original NSX, which is one of the lowest production cars you'll find (only a handful of exotics are lower).
