This is too funny. I used to own an original lexus SC and then eventually moved to an nsx and now both cars are reborn just as I was starting to like R8's. This should be interesting. It looks good.

I would buy that....

What would be sad is if the Lexus " baby SC" has more power than Acura's "HALO CAR" That would be very embarassing for Acura :redface:

 

[Juice]

Good. The more benchmarks for Acura to recognize the better.

Leave it to America to foul up the interior and woodgrain. That was also the downfall of the SC300/400...

Interior is kind of horrendous, but the exterior is quite nice tho, for a long nose

Whoooaaat? No one is criticizing it be a FR platform?


The lines are gorgeous, not sure about the nose but the side shops are absolutely stunning. Like to see what the tail lights look like.

No, because it's not a replacement for a classic mid-engine halo car. It's just an interesting nice car I'd also look at.

Exactly

Can't wait to see specs of this an the new NSX.

I'm thinking new Supra. It looks aight but I will bet they ruin it by production time, just like they did to the FR-S and LF-A. I will welcome another sports car on the market though, especially if it will rekindle some 1990s style rivalry.

 

[TURBO2GO]

That would make two serious sports cars that are now hybrids.

This just in, Honda/Acura cancels Detroit to go back to the drawing board after the competitors detuned 4seater is slated to outperform its new supercar.

:wink:

Toyota has been on a roll and Honda hasn't. This could happen. I'd buy the Lexus if the NSX is a dud.

Thanks for the catch Doc. Darn iPhone

Wingz, I know you're gonna grab a lot of photos of the NSX. But if you could also load up on some photos of this car to post it would be much appreciated :biggrin:

Sure thing. I'll post in this thread and give NSX comparison with it as well. No bias ..:biggrin:

 

[RacingHeart]

Going by Hondas previous (rather boring) concepts, there's no way that they can triumph this. The "new NSX" concept will probably spend the auto show in the LF-LC's shadow. But god i hope im wrong!

Just gorgeous! Anyone know specs on this? Somehow I think Toyota will have no problem getting more than 400hp

Looks good but the grill looks like that monster in the movie Predators

LOL Yeah imagine that comin at your azz in black at full acceleration :biggrin:

 

[TURBO2GO]

That looks better than the LFA. But it is a concept that will be dumbed way down. The only car that I know of that went from Concept to production pretty much as is was the Fisker Karma and that is because the DESIGNER runs that company not some bean counter. My friend jsut got one of the first ones and it is so good looking. I will do a little NSX photoshoot with it. It still wears 22" wheels.

Do I even need to say it Dave:biggrin:

 

[BioBanker]

Dave loves the blue detuned 4seater more than the silver LFA!

But I wonder, do the silver cars turn blue as they get older?
