It also has the best performance of any Accord four-door, outrunning the V-6 automatic by 0.3 second to 60 mph and 1 mph in the quarter, to 93 mph in the end zone.

OK - so comparing a manual transmisison Accord to an auto Accord is no different to comparing Dumb and Dumbers scores on the SAT's - this just proves what a slug the V6 auto Accord is, not how "good" the manual hybrid is... does the electric motor even particpate in the acceleraiton of the car?

Why couldn't they base the looks on the honda hsc concept that looked amazing and would keep true to the mid engine rear drive of most supercars this one looks more like an agressive honda accord and they said 500 bhp and its main competitior the v8 vantage which only has 380 shoud'nt they be aiming for the DB9 still 3 years in that time this car would probably be as quick as their formula 1 conterparts with the amount of thing max mosley is doing to slow f1 down.

the thing about hybrids becoming true sports cars is that their batteries will weigh them down.. and we all know a proper sports car is light as can be..


but the power will be there for sure..


Now about this NSX.. I assume it will be targeted against Lexus' LF-A "supercar" so expect it to be even more expensive than the first NSX..
