a faint chance the NSX-R will come to the US

[NSXGeek!]

A little Japanese birdie tells me that Honda is considering offering the NSX-R in the US, however, the car would likely be heavier in the US due to different regulations.

I heard the rumor too.

1995 NSX-T
1999 3.2TL
2001 Odyssey ..........SOLD!!!
1992 SC400
2003 Chevy Suburban LT

I think that would be a great idea!!
If the would make a LHD, it could be made available to Europe as well.

And the $113,000 MSRP? Maybe the lack of weight savings will bring the price down. We can only hope.

How reliable is your birdie?

I'll believe it when I see a press report from Honda/Acura.

I thought I did wrote I will be bringing a red '02. See you 4/12 at Bayside Expo.

 

[NeoNSX]

they might bring the NSX-R over IF ...you organize a large enough GROUP BUY!!!

Sorry little OT,

I read in the current Motor Trend that AHM is bringing the Civic Type-R to our shores. AHM hasn't mentioned anything, but it is a done deal.

At least they show that they are willing to import limited number performance models after the ITRs.

I trully hope that they bring the NA2 NSX-R over here as the last hurrah before they put NA2 to sleep.

Why are you certain it is a done deal? I would love to see the CTR in the States but what are your sources other than a single car mag? Just curious...

That's what the Motor Trend wrote: 'a done deal'.

Disclaimer: I am not certain that this is a done deal. The above is quoted from April 03 issue of Motor Trend.

The NSX-R is the only NSX currently that I would trade my '00 NSX Coupe for...
