HSC Aug Calendar

IMHO the rear needs the circular tail-lights removed and an integrated wing added... and that's just for starters. 
it's just sad to hear the rumors that the HSC project has been canned in favor of other more practical models for the acura line up... 
I love the front, am not crazy about the rear based upon the photographs I have seen so far. Too many circles going on back there. Change the taillights and incorporate a low profile, conservative wing.
If they ever come out with this car...who knows when and it is comprable to the NSX, I will likely wait till the 2nd year of its release and buy one.
It will probably be the first 22nd century car on the road!

With a few styling tweeks, I think that could be one of the most gorgeous cars ever made.
HSC rockz on
What are we complaining about? The rear is nothing a bodykit can't fix!
And 70% of us would end up modding the end anyway! LOL

Just goes to show that opinions are completely personal - further validated by your Veilside Avatar - enough said!MojoNSX said:just my opinion but HSC dose NOT look good!
HSC beside NSX-R and S2000, LOOKS COOL~
looks great 
I like the front... car loooks low wide and mean from that angle. But from the weird b-piller back I'm not feeling it as much. Maybe one of those things you just have to see in person.
The rear angle shot of the HSC reminds me of a Mazda RX-8 canape morphed with the Corvette C5 rear bumper and rear fenders. The front bumper has the Lamborghini Murcielago look to it. That is the way how I view the external part of the car. The side mirrors are digital cameras.
I loved seeing this car in person. Much like the Enzo, pictures just don't do it justice. Unfortunately, I hated looking through the rear hatch to see that rediculously under powered engine sitting aft the fire wall. Pathetic. 20 feet away at the car show was the ME4-12. Absolutely no comparison in my book. Chrysler had just passed by Honda in styling and execution. Again, pathetic.
The HSC is in need of a respectable power plant. Something inside of me tells me not to hold my breath.

how can you say that when you dont even know its specs. I say the hsc motor would be respectable if it 400+ HP but with the new relaseases of the f430 and zo6 coming 450hp is best. the corvette and viper engines would be consider crap and have zero respect if you were looking at its engineering(under 70Hp/liter). To me a respectable engine would be one that has 100+HP/liter.Juice said:

Because the engines specs were listed on the display sign beside the car. I was there in Detroit reading it I believe. There was an engine in the bay under the rear glass. It looked exactly like our currend engine, although it be externally.

The engines specs on the display only said "over 300hp" I belive, who knows how much over 300hp.
I believe it stated a 6 cylinder engine as well. This is hardly worth the argument though. If the engine was capable of real numbers, it would have stated, "producing over 400 bhp." Alas, we still have dreamers that think a 300+ hp car is going to compliment the HSC. If the HSC were Lotus Elise light, than yes. But then why don't we buy a Lotus Elise? For a lot less.
In the end this is all pretend. Honda will do what it wants to. They have never failed to impress with their products. If there is a new NSX, it will be stellar. If not, than their next spotrts car will be stellar within its class. We worry not for Honda's capability, but for the future of our beloved X.

The mor I look at the picture above the more I realize how much I like this car. And I think that many are right in saying that it just needs a built in spoiler as our NSX's have. If the spoiler were raised to equal level with the roof line, I think it would visually pull the B-pillar back further. As is the trunk looks too long and dominating or the rear glass too short and chopped off. If the spoiler would swoop up just aft of the rear glass it would create a reverse arch effect to counter the arches over the wheels and the roof line.
Just a thought.

I think I'll just keep the old pic up for another month.
