I totally agree with this quote and couldn't have said it better. To me, Honda is trying to keep up instead of being innovative. If it were up to me, I would stick with the mid-engine design with some extreme innovative engine that is extremely efficient and powerful in addition to all the typical luxury you'd expect in a high end exotic. Back to basics is always the way to go when coming up with a new idea.
Yep, he just misses the "old days" when paying 5x more money, got you a car that you didn't have to read the badge (or be a car geek) to tell it was something special. I don't want a car that blends in with traffic (NASCAR's approach to racing).... I like F1/Indy because the cars don't look like (or drive like) every car I see during the drive home.
Some of us fell in love with the NSX because it made the exotic market affordable and drivable on a daily basis. NOW WHAT IS HONDA DOING? MAKING GT's more reliable ..... great GT's are already good daily drivers.
The success HONDA had with the NSX.... was that they took a market segment that many people lusted after, and made it affordable and practical. That was a pretty good idea (too bad they didn't keep up with the HP bumps). Now I'm not sure what the goal is with this new car? Unless its to make something that has too much HP for the street? That blends in with ordinary looking cars. YOUR DREAMS HAVE COME TRUE if your a street racer looking to drive a sleeper... seems like even a smaller market segment than the original NSX. Too bad GT-R is already taking care of that market, what-ever you want to call it? "FAST AND BLAND"?
Sure...
its sexy parked next to a Mustang, but don't park by a Ferrari or Lambo or it looks like a boat
First up your agreeing with a guy who said the NSX was affordable and practical when it came out. Practical yes but hardly affordable. It was still something for the well off.
Next up same guy says that he isn't sure what the goal is of the new car...Duh! To "OUTPERFORM" the current big dogs of the sportscar world plain and simple. Point is the guy your agreeing with never got the idea of the NSX and is clueless about the new car plain and simple. He says he loves the NSX but won't buy one what sense does that make? Also he can't stand what Honda is doing with their new supercar so why post. He only joins in to bash and has never been positive about anything. His NSX compliments are always left handed
You gotta be kidding
Where are u guys getting this from?? I think it's a gorgeous car.
Just haters! Car isn't even finished yet and they won't give it a chance.
