Default Acura NSX Concept

Coming to a showroom near you ... maybe. I can't view the video due to system policies here at work, but this looks to be one hell of a beast!

I believe you will see the exhaust tips in the rear-end shot at the sides.

I don't know if I've ever seen such a bland "supercar" prototype.

it's growing on me. there's something about the headlights that i just don't love. 400-450hp (no one seems to be sure which) is a decent number for it to be putting out, but a lot is going to depend on price. if this thing costs over 100k no one is going to buy it. you can get a viper, vette, or even a gt-r for less. but knowing acura it will be very over priced.

i'm also hoping it doesn't fall victim to the same fate as the first nsx....a sick looking car that can't get out of it's own way.

My boss is the one who sent me the link ... and we discussed pricing in the company of a third person.

Boss guesstimate: 175-200K
Me guesstimate: 125-150K
3rd party: abstained

I remarked to 3rd party that he oughta save up and buy one for status symbol on his front lawn at least. He lives in Westchester County, NY. <shrug>

As for the nsx... I'm sure it'll be a technological wonder, but it won't be a supercar.

Default beauty is in the eye...

it's subjective, but just as I can't stand the Lincoln grilles, I can't stand this current design for Acura with that giant piece of metal on the front.

I really liked the one prior TSX but as soon as that piece of metal got attached, I was right turned off.
