Not bad. The tail is a little long for the Canopy. I think the canopy need to be extended in the rear. Due to the length of the mid-rear section, either you got a long engine in there or one heck of a trunk. Could you reverser the angle of the B-pillar
lol, 150 in. wheel base? With All over steer?:biggrin:
not bad... still has the 'bug eyed' side view of the headlights as the 02+'s... hope that dosen't carry over haha

I think this car meets the new EU pedestrian impact safety standards.
Upon impact, the pedestrian gets shoveled and launches over the car, clears the roof untouched.... and upon his decend, oh... his foot clips the rear spoiler. Looks like Spooler will need to shorten the wheelbase another 10 inches.

I'm really liking this one. Good job. Spooler, I see you are close by. How about dropping a picture of this at the Honda design studio. I think they need some inspiration. Heck, send this to Japan and drop it on Fukui's desk and tell him to wake up.
Thanx,
It was right of you to apologize for making your opinion known in such a repulsive way.
spooler
Can you also put the left ones wing on the right one?
And no, this car is not ass ugly. I think you are onto something. Heck, we can just make it ourselves if Honda doesn't :biggrin:
Instead of the Honda refresh program they have in Japan, we can have the Acura update program that includes a motor transplant, new body, etc.

This is a great evolutionary design and maintains many styling cues of the original. I like the sharp rake of the front end and the rising muscular curvature of the fender above the rear wheels.
Mamma always said........If you don't have anything good to say, keep your yapper shut! :wink:
Lack of respect for what?free speech is not an excuse for rudeness and lack of respect
we are talking about a car... not your loved one.
Its my opinion, I stand by it, I think its an ugly car.
To be more precise, fugly is the term that comes to my notion.
nobody is faulting you for criticizing the design; a few have criticized it before you but have done so with respect to the designer.
lack of respect for the person that DESIGNED IT that is POSTING IN THIS THREAD.
Get some tact.
No, you have it wrong.
A person who designs something put it in the public spotlight.
Therefore its a known risk that not everyone will like it.
Its actually not respectful to LIE and tell the designer a false opinion simply b/c one doesnt want to offend.
The fact is that this design evokes a quick gutteral reaction from me. Much of the same seems to be coming from those who like the ASCC... (and notice how I get slammed for simply not agreeing with the board as the board slamms the ASCC design?) and yet there is no cry of foul for the designer/Honda???
Its pretty simple, if the NSX was actually mainstream desirable, they would have continued with its design.
I actually DO like the NSX. however the current design (the one I am referring to as fugly) is a mutation and a 'bastardization' of what is a classic car... the original NSX.
Now I actually do like the ASCC, (flame suit on!) but I view it as not an evolution of the NSX, but a leap in where the market is going, Honda's desire to attract MORE owners, and give ME what I want which is more functionality & options.
I do understand the 'feelings ' of those who would prefer to continue with the NSX dna. but things change, and sometimes you just cant do anything about it.
Lastly, there is nothing disrespectful in telling a designer 'exactly' what his design evokes.
Fugly is no different than 'sexy', 'awsome', etc.
