I thought this car looks nice! Possibly the new NSX? What do ya'll think? This came from the car and driver website.

I highly doubt that they'll make the new NSX look exactly the same from the front as a $32,000 car.

I remember reading the article on this NSX. Supposedly this new "look" is due out in 2003 ... complete with a 8 cylinder V-TEC engine producing over 300 hp... and with a price of $130,000 !!!

It would not surprise me if the re-designed NSX (which is well overdue) has a nose which looks similar to the S-2000. If you have owned Honda's all your life, it is easy to see how design "trickles" down from higher performance models (such as the prelude) to lower/economy models (such as the accord and civic) the next model year. It has happened over and over again...

Jay,
No ... Trickle down! I'll bet that the nose design of the S2K (the best looking part of the car in my opinion) was robbed from this proto of the NSX... remember, the "old" model of the NSX has been around forever (i.e. Honda designers just begging to get a new design into production). I'll bet this NSX proto existed before the first proto of the S2K! Think about it!

That is a "morphed" picture of an "old" NSX and a yellow S2K together. You can find the actual picture of the yellow NSX that was a source picture on NSXbyacura.com.
