NSX Concept vs LF-LC Concept
Though it’s difficult to pick just one star of this year’s 2012 Detroit auto show, the Acura NSX and Lexus LF-LC concepts definitely attracted their shares of attention, and for good reason. The 2 low-slung concepts represent exciting showroom stars that are sure to get people in dealerships if production versions of the sporty cars are ever built. Until that happens years from now, let’s engage in some armchair styling critiques of the 2 dualing Japanese luxury brand sports cars.
The NSX concept would definitely win the “Most Improved” award for the Acura brand. From the front, the Lexus LF-LC concept is the bolder car, even when you ignore that arresting red paint. The exaggerated spindle grille with huge chrome accents is a little over the top, but what do you expect on a Detroit show concept car? Acura’s latest NSX concept is more subdued and the brand’s power plenum grille appears to be evolving nicely. We’re more partial to the Acura’s spear-style lower front fascia accents, but we can see why some might prefer the Lexus’ LED daytime running lights and interesting headlight surrounds.
Moving to the concepts’ sides, the Lexus is again features the more dramatic body, with an upswept rear quarter window and side scoop near the doors.
From behind, the Lexus has more attitude, though some might suggest that’s because Acura’s concept could be the more production ready of the 2. Stacked exhaust pipes are a visual highlight on the Lexus while the Acura has cool LED taillights with an LED bar running the length of the trunk lid.
It’s hard to compare the 2 cars’ interiors because, well, the Acura concept doesn’t have 1. So tell us: which of these two concepts catch your eye, the Acura NSX or Lexus LF-LC?

Armchair compared to the LF ... I much prefer the NSX grill.
The NSX tail and Roof Line are also winners.
TBD are the actual production models, performance, price, and interior.
Both could use more unique wheels.
