Apparently only 7 were sold in the Uk last year.
Well, it's only a facelift! Still nice though. I don't think the NSX has dated as badly as it's contempories.

Maybe they bring offical UK Type-R's in, at least for publicity.

I love the NSX but I always thought the rear looked as though they didn't quite know how to finish it off. This version is very nice but the back isn't much better IMO . The new one should be the one when it comes out.

Correct me if I am wrong but Isn't the S2000 built in the NSX factory.
Therefore will the production of S2000's cease when the new NSX comes on stream ??
I would expect the demand for the new NSX to be huge.

I don't think so Andy. As I undersyand it the price of the NSX will be drastically reduced due to changing from aluminium body to steel. I'm pretty sure it will also cease to be hand built, but there will still be a big price difference between the two cars.

No I think you misunderstand, will they have capacity in the factory if its balls out on NSX production.

I'm pretty sure they won't change S2000 production. I'm guessing they're going to use the 'hand built steel' approach used on the S2000 for the NSX. It certainly seems to give good results for this kind of low volume car!
