How interesting. The RL is now arguably more advanced than the NSX. Not to say it's faster or more fun to drive, of course, but the NSX is definitely showing its age. Especially for a "halo" car.

The NSX was showing its' age 8 years ago after the 97 Vette was released. It just got down right pitiful after Mitsu made the Evo that can run with it for $33k.

The NSX should be pushing 450 hp by now if you look at what its' competition is doing.

But according to everyone on here, the NSX shouldn't be improved because it's so perfect and horse power and torque means nothing for a sports car. I guess horse power and torque only applies to four door cars now. Sports cars are no longer connected with speed and power. Unless you want to drag them... and don't even mention starting a car from 0 and racing. Then you're a back woods red neck that needs to get a Mustang or Comaro.

Ok.. .I'm ready...

Flame suit on!

I assumed most of you considered the car discontinued anyway ... what with the different engine and missing 9000 rpm redline. Your car is no longer being sold in the US

i agree, the nsx should have something more than it does... but i would still take one if they were being "handed out"

good to hear finally some 05 news for the s2000, there should have at least been some minor changes IMO... if its the exact same thing as an 04... wouldnt people be more prone to get the 04 since its the same thing but will cost less? bad move by Honda, they could have found at least a few things to change..

How about all those who waited and passed on the '04 'cause they actually believed Honda was gonna change the S in '05. They missed out on one complete year of blissful driving. Suckeeeers!
