i'll step up as the first one who doesn't like it at all. the old NSX was styled pretty well in my opinion, no need to change it much. if anything, they should've just restyled the road car to be more like the JGTC car :twisted:
havent we seen this b4? this is teh HSC prototype right?

I can say without looking at any specs that it's already down on BHP compared to other supercars. Why do they even bother ?
and what bugs me is they KNOW how to make more power. they've made dominating engines in F-1, CART, MotoGPs, and IMSA in the past.
Honda, if you're going to compete at this level, stop monkeying around, show that you're serious, stop making cars for your own market, make a 700 BHP, 2500 lbs, 260 mph, 1+ g turning supercar !!! if you do that, who cares what it looks like.

its not built to be a supercar..not everything needs to compete with an enzo or a carrera GT
the car is built to fit in a certain market..it also has more bhp then the previous models unless i am mistaken
also can u afford a supercar? or a 700bhp 2500lbs 260mph 1+g turning car let alone a super car?..u may but not everyone can thats who this car is built for
the styling is not what i like but that seems to be the way every car is moving they all like the sharp crisp corners and clean hard looking interiors...the one thing i really really dont like about this car is the tail lights..they seem to kind of be stuck there to fill space, like the designe team said this looks good and they just stuck some round thingys on the back
all in all should be a nice car when produced

thank you mhn3773 I hate it when people look at a car and think that it has to compete as a supercar, it's more in the high end sports car range or even low end exotic car group.
How many did they sell last year?...........8?
ignorant statements never get you anywhere.
It definitely has a lot in common with the Enzo. Can't say I care though. ;-)

honda is doing a good job keeping the nsx in its line up.
not may automakers can keep their expensive sports cars in production , plus it gives honda a good image producing such a car.
japanese automakers had already lost the supra, rx7, 3000gt, skyline GTR in their line-up.
at least the nsx is still alive.

I think it looks great, do they still have the v-tech system?

Is it just me or do it have some simular lines with the enzo, not comparing them in anyway........ :wink:
Now I look, I agree--although the rear reminded me of the Zonda :O

No one wants it to be a complete supercar. I for one dont care. Its Honda who are saying that NSX is a super car. I say thats its a sports car imo, but Honda say its a supercar.
The rear looks like its back of star destroyer.

correction:
vtec
and the latest one is i-vtec, which is a continuous VVT that improves torque delivery across the entire powerband in the rev range. Variable lift and duration lift in high rev power.

Pretty from front, ugly from the back... unfortunatelly thats the angle most of the drivers will see it.....
This car got a little bit of everything .. Little bit of Ferrari Enzo, Nissan Skyline Rear lights and it still got NSX somewhere too.. But over all it's a great looking car.. I would be more than happy to buy one of these.. :roll: :D

i don't think it looks like an enzo...sort of i think that is just the way the styling is moving now a days
and honda may call it a supercar but theres a wide market of super cars the nsx like said before is like the entry level for someone that wants to be in the "super car market" w.o the super car price tag
it all boils down to..to each his own :lol:

if you want Honda to build a 700bhp car, then u'll have to buy a honda and build it yourself. As long as Hondas are made in Japan, they will continue to have maximum limits of 280hp. They will probably make the engine like the Skyline where its low HP engine, but just swap the chip and ur hp jumps tremendously because it was limited by the factory. But 700hp hondas are impossible, im sorry.

i like the front, dont knjow about the end yet, its too much...but who knows, it will grow on me like every other new cars

If this hits production they will tone down the styling and it will look more like the past NSX. The NSX has always been a great car. It still turns heads when it drives by, and at a fraction of the cost. The last thing we need right now is another car company making some crazy super car, that I will never own.

I think if they put this into production, the styling will get tammed down a bit. hope they fix the rear end :(

I like it. I always love the NSX styling and I must say I love this one better than the current NSX styling. Honda definitely did a great job on this one.

The NSX is a wonderful car, easy to drive fast, adjustable and balanced...and on top of all that, far more reliable and every-day useable than ferraris or porsches in many cases. The only thing that Honda has done wrong at this point is that it's too expensive.
NYCHonda

The reason why the NSX is very expensive because the car is handmade. The aluminum chassis also make the cost pretty high. I also believe NSX has a factory of its own, not sharing with the rest of Honda vehicles.

I never knew it had its own factory. That and the handmade part does explain why it costs so much. I never see any NSXs almost, they're so rare. Last one I saw was going down the highway on the other side so I only saw it for a second.
Kinda like the Skyline I saw... too bad it didn't see it for long.

I honestly don't think Honda is expecting to sell a lot of them though. I guess that's why it's pretty much unchange for 13 years already.

since u live in vancouver, richmond has a handful of nsx's.. and other expensive cars. walking in a parking lot mall in richmond is like going to a import car show.

There aren't that many NSX around here in NYC too. I probably see one or two in a month if I'm lucky.
http://www.nsxprime.com/FAQ/General/productionnumbers.htm
Thats what i found. Around here there are 3 NSX's, infact i just went to the dealer last week and they sold their Yellow NSX.

the honda preident has anounced that this will go in to production, however, the engine will be made a tad bigger and style changed a bit
NYCHonda
02-10-2004, 03:28 AM
It looks like Honda will produce the HSC (new NSX) pretty soon since I heard that 2004 will be the last year of the current model NSX. I better start saving up for that car.

its about time they change the NSX, because from time to time the only changing is the head light. The first NSX model compare to the last one (the one that had new headlights) the basis is still the same, just an improvement here and there...
I know that Senna helps to make the first NSX, thats why Honda doesn't make any dramatic changes on the NSX...hicks hicks :cry: your name will be remembered...
