I'm surprised nobody has been talking about the NSX being released again after 10 years. They were talking about it on the first episode of UK Top Gear a few weeks ago....hybrid...$150 000...and apparently they burn really good going around the Nurburgring.

Yeah, it's purdy but it's for them rich folk. You know, the ones who drive Accords, not Civics

If i'm still single and or don't have any kids in the next few years i'm seriously considering one of these or the new FT-1. It will be the poor mans 458. It's not going to be cheap though. That being granted i'd prob rather buy a house or condo. A car is always a shitty investment, but if i have the expendable cash in a few years who knows...

This NSX is going to be a huge fail just like the last time they made them. In a few years you'll probably be able to pick one up for 1/3 of new. Honda either doesn't learn or just doesn't care people aren't going to buy it. If you seriously going to drop $150 000 on a car it's not going to be a Honda. 'Hey, baby want to go for a ride in my Honda'...yeah that's going nowhere. $150 000 is Austin Martin money....'Hey, baby want to go for a ride in my DB9?' yeah...that's it.

I noticed they were calling it the Acura NSX and I don't think they were the first time it was in production. Porsche, McLaren, Mercedes and BMW are also making way more bad *** hybirds in this price range as well....the NSX fails at every turn.

although I think it burns better than the latest Porsche.

did not look at it too much, but the s2k next gen, if it ever becomes true, would be interesting.

will sell less than miatas, though...

I don't think Honda is planning on making earth shattering sales with the NSX. Car collectors and enthusiasts with a lot of money will buy it. Part of what made the earlier gen so great was that it was an everyday supercar. You could sit in traffic and it wouldnt over heat. Nowadays that is more difficult to do since there are more super cars that are better for everyday use.

 
Rep Power: 368

if the 7th gen does not overheat than the NSX should not either

 
Rep Power: 245

Lol, the 7th gen is not the best example of Honda's finest.

 
Rep Power: 205

The Japanese should just give up on making supercars all together....they're not good at it. Toyota LFA, again $300 000 for a Celica...umm what? Nissan GTR which everybody who's driven one says they are great but they have no soul.


I'm not sure if that counts as overheating or not

 
Rep Power: 368

LOL, stock 99

The Italians do that the best supposedly. I have yet to drive an Italian car but I would like to feel it.

Lmao.

It's not a high production car? You can't really call it a fail. It was just meant as a flagship. It destroyed the 358 at the time. I'm pretty sure they are going to lose money on everyone they sell. It's just meant to show what Honda engineering can do. Same with the GTR, "soulless" or not it's a 1/3 of the price of any other super car and can outperform most.

 
Rep Power: 205

Hmmm...I don't actually really have any strong feelings about the NSX or super cars in general...just basically trying to open a conversation on the NSX. I'm personally probably never going to own/drive one anyway. Mainly because if I had sick cash like that I probably couldn't bring myself to spend it on a car.

It would have been nice if Honda made another 6th gen type Civic as a flagship car though. After all isn't the Civic really their iconic model? Something that maybe more average people could afford. Why take a car that has been out of production for years to revisited it again? Why not start on a totally new platform?

Lots of people say Ferraris are 'souless' as well...laptops that take the driver completely out of the equation. The thing that's different about Ferarri is heritage...a long rich racing/car/supercar history that comes with the name.

The fit is the new 6th gen civic

 
Rep Power: 258

why can't they make another blue collar NSX like the original one or at least put it in GTR territory ???.

 
Rep Power: 205

I really don't know much about the Fit. Being someone who drove the original Honda Civic hatchbacks ('78 '79) that made the Civic so popular I never understood why they rebranded the HB as the Fit. Maybe because it looks not so good? IDK?

I was thinking along the line of more premium suspension and highly moddable. With the 6th gen comment.

I was pretty interested in the new NSX until I heard the price. I think for that money they should have started a completely new platform.

 
Rep Power: 245

I like fits. That will probably be my next Honda purchase. They are fun to drive, economical, practical and a little odd looking.



I have yet to test drive one but the reviews I have read have been great. They also have a good aftermarket following. Suspension mods, engine mods (superchargers), fog lights etc.

 
Rep Power: 175

Yeah, Motor Trend just put it at their #10 spot for Car of the Year!

 
Rep Power: 205

Somebody recently told me they have more interior space than a new Ford Explorer as well. I don't know, I'm really not into the 'style' of most new cars. I hated the newer gens of the Civic for a long time but they are finally starting to grow on me. Something about a 4 door HB is odd to me though...practical or not it looks wierd.

 
Rep Power: 245

They do.

Same for me too. I was so used to the older ones that the new ones I wasn't to sure about. The Fit grew on me too.

Made Car and Driver 10 best also.

 
Rep Power: 205

The Fit answer to Lambo doors.

 
Rep Power: 258

the new gen fits don't look as good as the previous gen plus the older models took a price drop since they don't pass the small overlap crash test.

i really can't see alot of people buying this car especially compared with the other cars in its price bracket. didn't the current honda ceo step down from lack of sales or maybe he committet seppuku.

 
Rep Power: 205

It looks angry...question is....is it angry about being a Honda...or is it angry about being so overpriced.

 
Rep Power: 258

i think its mad because the only person that bought one was a fictional marvel character. its funny because the one tony stark bought was actually a 1991 nsx modified to look like the new one.

The only major downfall of the fit vs the civic is road noise. The latest gen did add some sound deadening, but the first gen fit is terrible when it comes to that. You can barely hear yourself think. It's as unbearable as a droning exhaust. They drive REALLY well though.

 
Rep Power: 258

all civics have added road noise because there economy cars and road noise was not a high priority.

 
Rep Power: 245

I'm not to concerned with road noise, 7th gen isn't the best at it. Another bonus to the fit is that my SS7's will fit.

Did you hear about what the Type R beat at the ring?
