Those wheels are horrid. I hope they change to something that is a lot cleaner.
At least the wheels are an easy option to flick and get right!
GPW for the win! Looking really similar to what my seller replaced the GPW with. Family resemblance.

looks good to me! Damn, white is so nice! Should I paint my car WHITE???:biggrin:
I am glad the wheels are my only complaint. I can change them... My guess is that they have a sweet set of wheels which is in hiding until the production release (were it not for the wheels it would not look like a concept). They have to know the suck.
+1. Honda Accord FTW......great interior like the McLaren.....clean & KISS...thank God the wheels can go quickly.

Nice pic, but I'd hope Honda wouldn't tack on a useless piece of black plastic at the back

I get the kidding around with the wing (at least, I think you're kidding), but I'm completely aboard with more classy and subdued wheels!
As much as I love love love my GPW like none other as well as the new NSX here in GPW, and as much as I admit that a freshly waxed black can be jaw dropping (tip of the hat to 99NCNSX and many others), I've always felt that it's really hard for a car's lines to show better than in super-waxed silver... Hold a finger in front of the front fascia of the new NSX above in white and tell me if you don't find it hard to distinguish it much from the GPW civic & accord posted in this thread.
Turbo2go and Brylek and Phoen$x and Dreampowered, this one's for you...!
MRNSX 2.0 (Ted, is that you...playing around with us here?), thanks for the post. It's warming me up to your, I mean, the NSX 2.0.
Oh shit, I love this.
White is just a tricky one to photograph as it easily gets over exposed (like the above photos). When that happens all of the reflections you'd ordinarily see get washed out, those reflections normally would help your brain understand the surface geometry of the car and thus make it more dynamic looking. Black has the same problem to a degree but in the opposite sense where as silver is right in the middle so you get the full range to show off highlights and shadows (the example you posted above has reflections that are both nearly white and nearly black). Silver is great for renders (but that still doesn't mean Turbo chose right :tongue

Thanks for the mention. I really try hard to keep my paint looking good. Next to gpw, silver is my favorite

The wing was pretty much impossible to Photoshop since the rear slants so much.

^ what does that say???
"Nice Ass"
I must be the only one that doesn't mind the wheels...but what do I know? :redface:
I wish it had a black roof, more of a floating integrated spoiler and door handles up in the glass for a bit more of an homage to the original...but I'm nit picking.
Overall...I think it is fantastic inside and out..... and with now seeing the power plant...I think I'm more excited than I've ever been for one. Can't wait to pick up a 2015....in 2025
