Return of the NSX ?

[SuperSonic]

So I was looking up honda emblems online to see what the nsx looked like with the red type r to show the gf and came across this motortrend article. Seems like the NSX is not totally out of production. It looks like a Audi r8 front, Ferrari or LFA air scoop, Bugatti side.....

I like it! And any news is good news. But a modified Accord platform with a 3.5L V6 is sort of questionable to compete with today's sports cars?

Oh, my.

Wow I sure hope this is true but I seriously doubt it.

When at the Honda plant where the NSX was made and while standing inside the NSX refresh building Peter Mills wondered out loud to me if there was a model of the HSC we could see.

I decided to asked Urehara if there was a HSC/NSX prototype around or any other of the shelved NSX concepts that we could see.


His reply was a shake of the head and decisively said "No".

Then, he crossed his hands in front of him and quickly chopping them to the side, he emphatically said " no more sports cars."

Very direct answer.

How do you guys completely miss the other thread that covers the exact same article??? There are only 5 other threads to look at for future NSX, 1 of which is title "MOTOR TREND..." which is also the latest article being discussed in this section, lol. I don't like being a repost police but I'm a do it

HALT, YOU HAVE DONE A REPOST!

Joe, when was that? I'm curious when you spoke with Urehara. If that was recently I'm just totally bummed. Sorry to hear that. What a total let down.

Nope; didn't see that thread. Thanks Larry, I don't read all the threads here. I have my favorite catagories and leave many of the others out of my radar. I appreciate the heads up on this. I'm still mega bummed. Honda is just not a sports car oriented company any longer. Should have been an eye opener when they pulled the S2000.

Maybe they'll change in the future. Next thing we'll hear is that they will no longer support our cars with parts, etc.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but that has started some time ago. Early 1991-94 interior parts, like the visors (in grey, "half-black") NA for quite a while. No driver's side, only three passenger side left in the country, then no more.

No worries man just was trying to stir some humor in there with the funny Repost Police picture. Funny thing is I remember seeing the original clip about that officer who drove into the wet cement. That must of been EMBARASSING!

Not only that but ................ "no more hats!" Notice we had to return them at the refresh center?

Yeah, that was wierd. Mine was so small I carried it.

I've been looking for one of the green Honda factory hats for years and could never find one for sale. Now I know why. :frown:
