It's definitely a nice looking car overall. But as JS + BRZ said, the interior is kinda meh... a bit plain looking. Doesn't look any better than what you'd find in a RLX, MDX, etc. A halo car should have a really nice looking interior.

Yep. "There was a time when you felt a little NSX in your Accord. Now there's too much Accord in your NSX." That's pretty much bang on.
Be thankful that it only has one screen.

New NSX sucks more cawk than all of 3G Ramblings put together. That's a lot of cawk.

I cant wait for the 8 years old GTR vs. The brand new but 8 years delayed NSX
Regardless what the # says, if the NSX can't beat a 8 years old GTR at 150k, the Nissan should be laughing at Honda.
But somehow i still think the GTR Nismo is going to be faster while being older, heavier, with no battery.

Unreal. I waited and waited and waited and waited and bittered and waited and venomed and waited and waited and snarked and waited and waited and waited and bittered s'more and waited and waited and spewed more venom and waited and waited and snarked and waited and waited for these mediocre specs and the fact the NSX is an overweight fat@$$ trying to keep up with the Germans.

There seems to be a lot of negativity here about the new NSX....
Here's my understanding based on all these reviews from C/D, MT, RT, AB, etc:
- The turbocharged V6 does NOT have VTEC
- Turbo lag is virtually non-detectable due to electric motors
- The NSX in quiet and sport mode is, as Honda promised, drives like a everyday's car.
- Things get more interested in Sport Plus mode.
- In Track mode with the Michelin's, the NSX is a beast.
- The optional Conti's are bad for track use but good for everyday's driving
- As predicted, the NSX is not light
- The NSX is fast, but the question is how fast? No one can comment on that unless a proper test and/or comparo is done.
- Steering feel comparable to 911's according to C/D
Subjectively, I thought this new NSX fits the NSX name plate - New Sportcar eXperimental. I can't think of any car in this price range that is quite like the new NSX (whether it's a good or bad thing greatly depends on one's preference). It's just like how the original NSX was twice as expensive as the R32 GTR, but the GTR at that time was actually faster. Was that good or bad?
I think the $150-200k market is now filled with different super cars with different characters. If you have that kind of money to spend on a car, there are a lot of choices available.

This is the thing, back in the days it was ok. 2016/2017 is A LOT different than early 90s.
and whoever thought the NSX was going to be sub 3000 lbs 10 or 20 pages back.. keep dreaming... I know you are looking

That being said, it sounds like they did make a good car...for about five years ago.

i am actually very surprised about the torque #s given it has turbo and battery.
The car with "similar tech"
918 AWD
Horsepower: 887 HP
Torque: 944 lb-ft
RLX Sport Hybrid with upgraded tires
Horsepower: Infinite
Torque: More than you can count

Nope. too technical for me. I only need torque in the rear all the time, 100% of the time.

The torque is probably pretty flat.. it probably could put down more, but designed to stay flat.
Also.. if Common core math taught me anything, it's:
406 + 2(54) + 1(109) = 476

It will be curious to see if the aftermarket world touches this car. With it being really one of the first affordable supercars with this kind of hybrid/battery setup, I wonder what would happen if the power was boosted to 650-700hp

Seriously, wtf is the point of all this bickering. Even if this car had everything you want. I doubt any of you would actually have gotten it.

I think it is still too early to market the NSX... cuz Honda knows it might get delayed again.
When the time comes, if it was up to me, fuck the millions in commercial.
Get 20 production ready cars 2 months prior to the delivery date and just park them all over the city and drive around town is the best way to market it.
Hopefully it will get some customers to their dealership to look at their RLX and TLX
That is the whole point because the NSX itself is already sold out for the first year or 2.

Will I likely ever own a McClaren? No, but I'm an enthusiast, so I like talking about it.

The curb weight does not shock me, but it is nonetheless is a bit heavier than I expected.
Until I get to drive one, the mag racer in me says drop the heavy batteries and go for the Type-R RWD only version. Should be interesting to see how the dealers handle the early cue.

without the battery it will become a 400hp-450hp 3500 RWD car...
and it is popular to charge more for less these days, i will not be paying $150-200k for a 400hp car that weighs 3500 lbs.... type R or not.

Regarding the NSX, it's fine. It's not a Ferrari-changer like the original, but it's good enough.

i did not fail because i did not even read it
Even at 500lbs it is still not enough considering the cars it is going up against.
I would expect either 650hp, 3500lb or 500hp 3000 lbs to be worth of the Type R name.

Good post. In all honesty, I don't think there is any situation in which I could reasonably and conscientiously buy any of these cars, but I love them and love talking about them.

95% of the performance of a 918 for 1/6th the price, what is not to like?
I might even argue that it looks better than a 918.
