So, you kids know what's next after this delay? The cancellation...naturally, due to the bad economy and etc.

oonowindoo

Wrong.

They are delaying this because of the Super EL Nino is coming. They are just trying to be proactive.

For once, Acura is ahead of the game. Advance!

haha no love for continental tires? I use their extreme contact DWS for the RDX and thought they are pretty good for all-season tires. My friend has the summer version (extremecontact DW) on his S2K and Forester STI. I test drove them and thought they are quite decent too.

The contisportcontact 5P is quite common in high end performance cars: AMG cars, Porsches, Audi S models, BMW M models....etc.

I thought Ms use PSS

I think initially they were all PSS. But lately BMW added conti's too.

Acura is a wanker company, full of wankers from the very top to the very wanking bottom.

Fucking pathetic.

so what is it that attracted you to the azine forum?

ttribe

Quit trying to make yourself the self-appointed gatekeeper for who gets to participate on this forum. You aren't.

Decent is not good enough.

A $150K supercar deserves nothing but the best : the stickiest summer compound tires; in order to take on the Ferrari's.

Shit, do I sound like SSFTSX !?

I don't understand this interior. Shouldn't the alacantra color be more uniform throughout instead of mixing?

Personally, I would rather have ventilated leather seats.

You couldn't let it go, so you had to bump the subject.

The interior options will be customizable, like how Ferrari does it.

Some people like the style in the picture, some people don't

oonowindoo

all these 141 pages are really for nothing.

1. Delayed Delayed and Delayed again
2. When finally released, there will be 2 or 3 cars available per dealer for the whole year
3. 3 or 4 years later, when it is finally available to the mass, it will be outdated.
4. at 150K starting, how many will continue to buy after all the hardcare Acura fans (with $$) got theirs? Faster or slower really makes no difference.

NSX is code for the AZ's sekrit l33t code thread for postwhore-thread.


If you didn't realize it, this thread was made available for you to pad up your postcount. Duh. But, don't tell anyone. It's a sekrit.

Mixing of colors make interior less dark and pedestrian. These brown leather touches from center console to door panels built with new manufacturing process and materials.

When I saw that interior I thought I was in the TLX thread for a second.

You got hacked.....

Legend2TL

What's unusual is why Honda/Acura engineers even considered using a transverse NA V6 in the first place. Considering they did a front engine V10 before as the potential NSX next gen in the early 2000's, it's surprising they would go back to the NA V6 in the first place. Even if it had been tuned up more than say the RLX platform's hybrid drivetrain it wound not have been competitive in the current exotic marketplace. None the less it's good they went to the longitudinal dry sump twin turbo V6. Gives a solid platform with lots of power growth.

Legend2TL

QFT, better to work out the bugs what ever they may be then launch early.

Nice to see Honda/Acura back into the exotic car marker. Doubt I'll ever get one let alone drive it but it looks great. The flying buttress is stylist but subdued and integrates has the intercooler inlets. Those wheels and interiors also look great.

fsttyms1

You cant be serious.. Give them credit for not rushing it out? They have been doing everything in their powers to make this car take 10 years longer than it should have. At this point the only thing that should delay this car is their manufacturing facility being swallowed by a sink hole.

fsttyms1

This car will be outdated before it even comes out with all the delays it has had.

Macau Park

It looks sick, especially in non-red but they better hurry dafugup.

If for some reason they don't launch this, it would be a disaster that could ruin the brand image forever.

you're the one issuing commands here.

AZuser

Too bad they didn't follow this approach with the ILX and when releasing the FWD RLX before the RLX sport hybrid.

Acura finally learning from their past mistakes?

MTEAZY

Hopefully they axe it soon and this thread will be locked. I can't endure another year of NSX trolling (from both, Acura and Azine).

Mizouse

well at least the delay gives me more time to save up for a down payment... on a 1:8th model

Edward'TLS

No lockie.

This thread is dedicated to the NSX, whether the vapor car still remains as vaporware or the production car is on the roads.

No. A suggestion. Somehow, I suspect if I'd said "please" it would have been no more effective. Nevertheless, give the "thanks" attached to my post, it seems it was a somewhat popular suggestion.

McLaren and the NSX(and the HondaJet...lol)

Edward'TLS

Forget that McLaren. It is performing very poorly in F1 this season.

this new NSX is gonna be sweet

and well worth the wait

Tonyware

Thanks for the video post. I kinda liked Accavitti, my kind of guy. Not sold yet on Jon's skill for that job. I would definately buy a car from Mike, not sure if I would from Jon. Time will tell... maybe Acura is no longer targeting me, the guy who can afford an NSX but does his own timing belt changes?

Ps. Looks like they are after the "more money than brains club" lol.

Then new NSX is (or will be) a solid contender in the supercar market. It is the best effort we as enthusiasts have seen out of Honda in forever. It looks good. It's got hype. However, the only thing this car has in common with the old NSX is the name. The design does not remind me of the NSX at all. If you loose the power plenum grill and the Acura badges this car could be a creation from any car manufacturer. Not to say that it is bland, but as nice looking as it is, I think, in some small part, Honda missed the point. That point being, NSX enthusiasts wanted a new NSX. Is it that the design was so dated that designing the new car using styling cues from the old car was impossible? Perhaps. Nevertheless, Honda didn't make a new NSX. They made a class-worthy, modern day supercar and called it the NSX.

Mizouse

i still think the 1st gen NSX is great looking to this day.
