Acura NSX unveil this weekend, wanna go?

C&C, a drive, lunch, drive to Limeric, hangout at the dealer's: sounds like a fun day! I'm in.

 

Saw it at SEMA, it's better looking in person! Would love to see it again. In.

 

It looks beautiful in the new issue of Autoweek. Count me in.

 

Absolutely worth the ride up. Impressive turnout of the original NSXs, I think it ended up with just shy of 30 of them there.

The new NSX, I love it in person. I had the chance to see it in the Electric Blue out at SEMA last week and that is THE color for that car. It pulls off red incredibly well. The pictures are a little deceiving, as they make it look like a large car. It is surprisingly small and in the same footprint almost as the new Miata.

Even cooler is the fact that these cars were driven into the dealer rather than transported and theyre on 20inch snow tires! Can't wait to see them on the road.

It sort of looks like a grown up Saturn Sky?

 

When Honda (Acura), Toyota (Lexus), and Nissan (Infiniti) launched their premium nameplates, their sedans pressured the established European (German) companies like Mercedes-Benz and BMW in the areas of quality, features, and pricing. This had the effect of making the German companies more competitive and, in the end, made their cars better.

With the introduction of the Acura NSX at a projected price of only $155K to $160K, the Europeans who dominate the exotic car market (e.g., Ferrari, Lamborghini, etc.), are now on notice that the Japanese are going to be a force to be reckoned with in the exotic car market. This will force the established players to make better cars, I believe, thereby benefiting the customers. Hooray!

 

I'm sure it is well built car but doesn't do anything for me like 911 turbo. I wish acura gets rid of that front grill. V grill. At least for NSX. Any interior picutres? performance specs? IMO, New z06 is more exciting to look.

 

All pics and specs on Acura's official NSX site here.

 

I think I'll stick with my '92.

 

Are the dealers still blatantly asking $25k over MSRP?

 

Fully loaded the price will be in 220 range. I'll wait for the "R" model if/when H.P.D modifies the car.

 

New issue of Road & Track did a 10 page "First Drive" write up on it... Pretty negative (especially for R&T which tends to be pretty positive about most cars) review, although apparently you MUST get the optional tire because the standard ones are lousy, but even then they preferred the previous incarnation. We'll see what they say when then do a real road test in the future.

 

On the other hand, the new R&T thinks the new "cheap" McLaren 570S beats everything else in it's class including the 911 Turbo Sport and the Audi R8 V10 Sport.

 

$220K?
CRAZY but I bet they still fly off the shelfs

 

Turd

 

starts at 157 ...

 

Great spec is $175K. Can't see needing to spec more than that on the car. There really aren't many options.
