While my poor NSX is in the shop for a mysterious electrical issue I am driving a loaner, a 2012 Acura TL.
It's a modern Acura, beak and all, and we all know how to feel about that around here. I will say that it has a fair bit of "get up and go" if you click the shifter down into S (sport?), but the throttle response is as schizophrenic and nonlinear as any automatic transmission car.
But I wanted to talk about the interior.
Buttons... buttons everywhere... Way too many buttons. While you're driving trying to remember which button is where is pretty overwhelming, especially if it's not the only car you ever drive.
The interior of the first NSX had a lot in common with the Accord of that time. So is it reasonable to assume that the next NSX will have an interior similar to this?? Are they really going to crap up their "supercar" with hundreds of buttons all over the place (not to mention the frustratingly unintuitive clickwheel nav screen GUI thing - BMW iDrive, anyone?)? If the interior of the new NSX looks anything like this I will be very sad indeed.
I will say that the premium sound system in this particular car is pretty nice. I do hope the new NSX has a great factory sound system :smile:
