Acura NSX will be... gone?

I was at the Acura dealership today and they had a silver NSX in the showroom for the first time I can recall. There was a salesman there as I was eyeing it up pretty good. I was thinking of getting it in a couple years. He told me this was the last production of it as they are "getting rid of it and producing something with more horespower and in a convertible." I don't know but I love the NSX. The rear end looks like a true exotic... low and wide.

It's not like he's saying anything new. Of course a new NSX will have more HP...what new car comes with less hp than the car it replaces...

Don't lose hope. With the rate they're selling them these days, that same silver one might still be at the dealer when you're ready to buy.

What are you talking about? In November Honda/Acura sold more NSX's (9) than they did Insight hybrids (5).

Ha Ha....

The dealer is probably right. The latest rumors are that Honda/Acura will not replace the NSX, but invest the $$ in a new luxury coupe/convertible comparable to offerings from Lexus, BMW and MB.

That's the second thing I was informed by someone with less credentials. But I think Honda would put their neck on the line by putting the HSC in the states, as it is a $90,000 Acura is still ultimately considered by the generic public in a sence... "its still a honda!"

I'm also very interested in getting an NSX in a year or so. I'll either get a new one (if not discontinued) or a used one.

S/C is nice on the engine and I can't say i disagree with the choice but when i called comptech about why a S/C and not a turbo they said, "heat issues"

The inside of an NSX engine compartment is really tight and probably has airflow problems.

turbos generate more heat than s/c?? They also had the same response for the CLS
