I talked to more people today that went to the auto show yesterday, and they said the same thing. That the car looks SOOO much better in person than it does in the pictures. :smile:
Yeah, take the beakplate off and it's so much better. Granted, it's not the same concept, but it's a similar mouth.
Anyone up for chopping the beak off of one of the real concept shots?
Edit: Nevermind, did it myself. Also took the opportunity to match the roof and pillars.

I think the front end is just whacked, beak or no beak. It needs to be redesigned.

If it helps in the future, the titles of the article I post are the hotlinks to the articles themselves ...^ Source?

After attending the show on Saturday, I 100% agree with the in-person reactions to the looks as opposed to just seeing the pictures. I was reserving judgement on the looks until seeing it in person - I'm impressed with everything except the rims and any real, subtle outward link to the earlier generation NSX. Even the rear-end looked good. As far as the front goes, given the silver color of the concept car, it really offsets the overt presentation of the beak and it tends to mute its presence. I'd like to see the trademark integrated rear spoiler somehow in the final product, but all-in-all, a knockout in person.
General comments from the peanut gallery were overwhelmingly positive.
As an aside, I asked one of the Acura reps what the target price was going to be and he said "somewhere close to the original ..." Take that for what its worth.
I'd post my pictures, but that seems to have been over done, so I'll just exit quietly ...
less than 3,000 lbs!
yes!
Just back from the show and pics just do NOT do this car justice.

The original had plenty of people who didn't like it and said it has no soul. I don't think this is any different. It really doesn't matter much what a few hardcore nsx owners and prime members think of this versus the current NSX. The large majority of ordinary people think the concept looks awesome, and few of them would take the current nsx over this much more modern looking car.
This whole argument is a moot point if you ask me. The public response to this car has been overwhelmingly positive. What difference doses it make if a few of us don't like it (and I'm not one).

...And from what I've seen (not just on prime) with a few exceptions the enthusiast crowd hasn't had many positive things to say about it.

Um guys, has there once, in the history of ever, been a time that you heard ANYONE say "That NSX of yours looks like CRAP in pictures, but in person it rocks!"

The answer is no. I don't buy those comments for a second, as they remind me of a bad marriage - you always try to ignore the faults you see because you WANT it so badly to work. Sadly, you lie to yourself.
IMO it really doesn't matter what the public at large thinks about it. What matters is what the people who are likely to buy one thinks about it. And from what I've seen (not just on prime) with a few exceptions the enthusiast crowd hasn't had many positive things to say about it.
Dave you remember when we used to get blasted for buying the car new lol
