Please pardon my ramblings. It's late for me. I just need to vent like the rest of you have, so I'll take my turn now.
I have to admit, I spend 99% of my time on Prime these days reading about the mass displeasure in regards to the ASCC. I also agree with 99% of you.
When I bought my NSX, my other choices were s2000, 350Z, STi. Please don't blast me for my runner-ups, I chose well. I won't bore you with my thought process in choosing, but as it likely was with most of you, even a 10 year old NSX is better than any of those others. It's reliable. It performs well. It's a beautiful car. I don't see others every day on the road. A truly affordable exotic.
I really don't think the ASCC is as ugly as some of you. Have you seen that "Advanced Sedan Concept"? Wow...people hit that on the head. Put up the Bat-signal, Gotham is under attack.
When General Mills sees Lucky Charms sales drop, what do they do? They add a differently shaped marshmallow in a new color. That's it. That's what we want. We don't want to open the box and dump Count Chocula in our bowls. We want updated Lucky Charms.
Acura is calling the ASCC (Count Chocula) the next NSX (Lucky Charms). That's the criticism. When Honda discontinued the Del Sol, they didn't promise another one. Maybe they should have. The headline could read:"Honda ready to introduce the next generation Del Sol with Real Time all wheel drive and a bigger trunk." Then, in Detroit, below a picture of the Del Sol, on a spinning platform and disco lights and fog, they pull the cover off the Element. OHHHHHH, AHHHHHH. That's what happened. That's the letdown. For some the Element is wonderful; for those expecting a Del Sol.....well, the motor is still in the front. Great job.
For me personally, I would have assumed they just say the NSX is discontinued. Then they could have rolled out a new 500HP car a year later and it would appeal to many people. Most of us would still be here whining about the NSX being gone and talking about what car to go with instead.
For those of you who love the new ASCC, enjoy. Really. It'll be a kick ass car performance-wise. I understand why it will be liked. You should understand why it will be disliked. The simple answer: it is not an NSX.
