It's a little bit depressing to see the less than stellar reviews about the new NSX. It's REALLY depressing when some of these reviews allude to similarities with the GTR, whereby the car is utterly capable and fast, but isn't particularly fun to drive. I hope Acura makes enough last minute...

That's one lousy sales rep that the OP has been dealing with. And not only for using a weak argument to further his cause, but being lazy with the way he did it. The text he sent to Superfluous isn't even his own words. It came from an article written almost a year ago. The full article can...

The 12C is still an amazing car, even though it's starting to show signs of aging from a design point of view. The car still looks great but it's just that McLaren has released so many new models since the 12C. This angle is particularly nice (friend's car)... - - - Updated - - - Oh you...

Have you guys had a chance to drive it yet? I drove a press car recently. It almost makes it pointless to spend more for the 650, other than the fact that the 650 offers more "status". The interior is simple and elegant and just reeks of quality everywhere you look and touch. I think this...

Very well said. Old myths just don't hold true anymore. I've never had problems with my German cars.

But would you agree if the company's business case for the new NSX included a serious look at the competition they've identified that they should have known a ~400-hp power-train was never going to cut it? It seems so strange that a mid-development re-think was necessary at all. Everybody wants...

You really get the sense that Acura doesn't understand how this game works. When the other guys release their new car, they're already working on the next one. They always leave something on the table so that the successor to the new car will have something "better" about it. But more and more...

Acura should just stop displaying the car in the public domain for a while until they're really ready. They're making themselves look more and more incompetent with each passing announcement. They were supposed to make public important details about the car today and all we got was fluff. This...

Seriously, Acura?? You might as well redesign the interior while you're at it. This is pretty disappointing.

Uh.....no, they wouldn't. But feel free to believe what you want to believe.

You and I are obviously thinking along the same lines. Honda can no longer rely on "reliability" and "practicality" as its trump cards. Everybody has raised their game in the last 5 to 10 years. So where we may have traded off some of the "exoticness" in the past and opted for an NSX over, say...

Well, a lot of people here dislike the R8 for some inexplicable reason, so I won't get into it too much. But basically the V8 was the best mid-engined all-rounder on the market when I got it, and then the V10 came out and it was clearly more of all the things that made the V8 so great. It's cut...

Sorry, but in no way did Honda design the 458's interior. The author was merely hypothesizing and being rhetorical.

I'm really happy with the two-screen layout. I drive the TLX a fair bit since it's the beater, but when I get into another car with only one screen I find it odd that the NAV isn't always showing. I'm only guessing of course but I suspect Acura didn't put two screens in the new NSX simply...

Thanks for the pictures. I bought two TLXs earlier this year and a lot of the controls and buttons bear uncanny resemblance to what we're seeing here on the NSX. Not entirely sure if that's good or bad. Anyway, while the TLX is generally good to drive other than the lack of a fully independent...
