Just came out of the Paris Auto Show and was surprised to see a Honda-badged NSX in the Honda booth.

If you thought all gen 2 NSXs are badged "Acura" you'd be wrong

You might be in the minority as I feel that this doesn't come as a surprise to most of us :smile:
Ummmmmm, duh! ;-)
It's been this way since the first NSX came out in 1991.
Acura in North America, HK and China, Honda elsewhere.

Welcome SFNSXguy
Sorry you got blasted after your post
The most unfair thing in my mind is that the UK market (who is H badged) put down their deposits first and are still waiting for cars

People in the states are stupid. They need a upgraded brand to feel superior to other people. Therefore, Acura, Lexus, Cadillac, and Infinity were created.

I agree with you Jinks
The way it was explained to me is that folks with a new Acura don't want to sit in the service waiting room with the folks who own a 12 year old Civic

and they are much more willing to pay a higher work rate for a "free" loner.....
Of course I knew this (big DUH!)... But I had been told that the gen2 would be dealt with differently since it was (is) being built in the US.
So Honda would have to spend millions launching the Acura brand in markets where it is completely unknown?
by that same logic, all Japanese built cars would be badged Honda.

This is the way they should be delivered so the whole Honda / Acura badging issue can be put to rest....
The use of the Cadillac brand nowadays is one thing
but you said created, and the creation of Cadillac in 1902
was nothing like the creation of the Acura/Lexus/Infiniti brands.
This is true.
Not sure why they'd try and expand the Acura brand in Europe where it's unknown, while the Honda brand has got quite a good reputation. We do have Lexus and Infiniti though, i understand why Nissan chose to do it (they being associated with Renault, not a good image) but Toyota have an excellent reputation too, actually when i tell people that Lexus is a brand of Toyota they light up and say somehing in the spirit of "ah even better !"... Funnily enough the GTR is branded Nissan ?
One of my favorite shots of the nsx. Thanks hothonda!
I agree, I think White show case the contours and various opening on the NSX the best....for a pure stealthy look, the Black is the way to go.

Yeah, the NSX at the Paris show is white.
I keep falling in love more and more with the new car.
Isnt there also lots of bading inside the vehicle?
Just steering wheel (and electronics).
