WTF? What I'm about to say is rude, but it has to be said. Are you people blind? The only thing that Honda changed to the NSX was the removal of the pop-up headlights, and clear-red lens tail lights. Everything else is basically the same appearance wise as the original NSX.
And... looks like an old Vette? You definitely need your eyes to be checked, WOW!

The carbon pieces, such as the hood and wing, were on the concept version, not the production version.
And yes, we all know this is a knock-off Type R, but the fact of the matter is that it's still an NSX, and certainly doesn't look like a Corvette rear end like someone stated above,

Sometime the truth hurts I guess...
It's new same thing as the past, what 12 years? Sure a couple of tweeks here and there, but still the same car, not changed like the civic or Accord. I sure wouldn't say there is a new generation. That's like saying the '05 S2k is a new generation becasue it has a revised motor

i HATE nsx with a passion!!!!! its a waste of money! With that kinda money, you can go buy an S4, M3, C55 and much more which can do everything an NSX can, and much more. But thats just my opinion towards this "SUPERCAR".

I would love to see any of those cars keep up with an NSX on a track, all stock speeking of course.

they would, and probably beat the nsx

the nsx is an exotic fine crafted vehicle, honda never said it would make the most power in the world nor the best car in the world, it's a good car and it makes good power

buying a car like the nsx is not just because it's "fast" the people buy nsx likes attention and enjoy showing off. and plus, it's a unique car

driving my mr2 is the same way, it doesn't have as much power as most of the car on the road, but damn it's fun and it is a head turner, heck, i've talk to some toyota guys and they never even realize the mr2 was a remarkable platforum and the mk2 was hailed as "near supercar" status

driving a car doesn't just involve power, there is also the enjoyment factor

Well, I disagree, I agree that on a striaght away those other cars would probably win. But on a track, mid engine is hard to beat, but you should know that since you have an MR2 in you sig. The balance of the NSX is far superior to those cars. On a track like Mid-Ohio's that has 53 turns in 3 miles, I have seen many NSX kill S4 and C55's. The M3 is a bit better than the other two because the inline 6 does yields more balance than a V enigne up front (better wieght distribution since more of the egine is behind the front axel), but it still can't compete with the midengine cars. Even mildly modded MR2's beat M3's there.

Keep up? they'd take it out. Have you seen any videos of the C55 AMG on the track? It will make the NSX look like a joke on the track, and it costs less.
There are a lot of pro-honda guys on the boards here who don't like hearing negatives about hondas. So once again, its just my opinion. I'd go buy something better with that kinda money. THe price tag on those is ridiculous.

Hopefully Honda/Acura will give the NSX some more power soon. Beautiful car, and handles great, but with a sub-300 HP engine, they could get owned by quite a few cars...One of the only reasons why I wouldn't buy one, new or used...
