This video shows the same R8 and 911 parked in front of a Honda company building.   As others have noted it seems like these two competing cars keep making it into many of the pictures. I'm sure they consider the visual association to be a good thing.

But what about that MDX?   Why would they benchmark it and/or why would they want customers to associate it with the NSX?   Since the MDX is Acura's best selling vehicle and more expensive than most other Acuras, do you think they believe MDX owners are the most likely existing customers to buy an NSX?

Here's a video showing how the door handle operates.   It looks a bit awkward relative to Tesla.   However I suspect this non-motorized design is far less likely to experience failure. Tesla door handles appear to be notorious for failing.

Video of engine revving.   Sounds like a mutant high tech, high revving sewing machine.   Very thin with little bass or grunt. Muscle car lovers will hate this.

[QUOTE="BB, post: 1861564, member: 4017"] This video shows the same R8 and 911 parked in front of a Honda company building. As others have noted it seems like these two competing cars keep making it into many of the pictures. I'm sure they consider the visual association to be a good thing. But what about that MDX? Why would they benchmark it and/or why would they want customers to associate it with the NSX? Since the MDX is Acura's best selling vehicle and more expensive than most other Acuras, do you think they believe MDX owners are the most likely existing customers to buy an NSX?
