I was told by another nsx owner that there was going to be a release of the new nsx specifically for current nsx owners. Any information on this?
Nsx release in Ohio
- Thread starter jonnya_nsx
- Start date
It's been speculated as a possibility, but I'd consider it extremely unlikely. It's much more likely to happen at one of the big auto shows, so that it can get extensive media coverage.
Also note that it's still 2-3 years away, and a lot can happen during that time.

Personally I'm not looking forward to the new one. Not a fan of the body styling and surely the fact that its a hybrid just fully killed it for me
Oh ye of little faith, Joe. Cross your fingers and click your heels. Maybe you'll be more optimistic then.
Styling is subjective. I love it and think that's it's the best looking NSX concept that Honda has developed to date but realize that it's not for everyone. However, if the performance is there, whether hybrid or not, it won't matter. That part is not subjective.
I wish you guys had friends on the engineering team like I do. Let's just say it is going to be amazing.
Mitch who's got friends on the design team? They need help!
If the engineering team has the same type of perspective that the design team have had in the recent past [beak anyone?], well let's just wait and see. 
One of my buddies is involved. The dyno numbers they already have are phenomenal.
So I guess it will keep on looking like this and we can't hope for better exterior styling? Tell them the the headlights belong on top of the car so it looks sleek. They've put the headlights in a vertical plane and it makes the car's face look upright. That and the body looks bulbous and not chiseled. Look at how the 458 became chiseled and the F430 looks mass-heavy by comparison.

Faith is the centerpiece of my life philosophy.:wink:

The design looks fine to me so cut the "We" amigo and speak for yourself.:biggrin:
I think it will never make it to market but the rendering I've seen IMO looks great.

What do you mean by it will never make it to the market? are you referring to the NSX? or the headlights?:smile:
Thanks
No offense, but I really am getting tired of the I know a guy from Honda line. How many yimes have we heard it from someone only to be disapointed. I am not saying you do/don't, just that it gets old. We will see what the car is like when they release it.
I for one feel the car doesn't have enough visual cues from the older NSX. Rear needs to be a few inches longer, side scoop should look more like the original NSX. As far as visual cues McLaren has the closest resemblance to the NSX. That being said I am still interested in what this car can do, who cares if its hybrid. If it has the performance, I am game.

I know a guy from Honda who's tired of that line, too. :biggrin:
Yes, exactly. I can't count how many cars I've seen in photos, that turned out to look way better, or way worse, once I saw them in person.
Can your friends on the engineering team slap some sense into the design team?
I'm sure the car will be cool...even if it does look like an R8/Camro bastard love child...

Thank God I'm not the only one who sees this....
The MP4-12C SHOULD have been the body design for the next NSX!
