Whatever nomenclature you want to apply to the "pink" line (in the photo).... That line is too lengthy on the new NSX. (IMO)
EXACTLY, and it is even worse because the NSX doesn't have a hollow section ( the front grille creates a perceived wall, not the look of a duct ) like the Lamborghini which adds the exotic look and creates the illusion of a thinner leading edge. Like the Camaro, and most of ordinary cars, the new NSX front shows a large continuous vertical surface.
That's the front view's optical illusion. Basically, you and many people are telling Honda to make extremely long front bumpers for the new NSX to "fit in with the crowd."
You don't get it, and as usual you are using false adjectives to win your point ( extremely long !?! Wow! A bit longer, yes ... ). It is not about the length but about the thickness ( btw can I meet your wife ... Oh, well, I suppose, by the amount of time you spend behind your computer that no woman would stay with you ... ) :smile:
The long nose for the Huracan is disproportionate. For me, what makes the Huracan attractive is the V10 and low roofline. Not the front end's extended nose and no ass. If Lambo put a turbo V6 or 4 cylinder in the Huracan, most people would find it unappealing too...
Lamborghini came here with a very nice design. Disproportionate? So is the Mc Laren F1 too? To be honest, I am not a big fan of the "no ass" approach and I like very much the proportions of the first generation NSX. Also the Diablo ...
looks plenty low already...
LOL. Almost no drop from windshield to front leading edge! The hood is virtually at the same height as the wheel fenders! Nothing exotic there ... You should invest in glasses and brain reeducation ... LOL!
Yup ... About as low as a 2017 Camaro!
Mega LOL! Exactly, Quicky, excellent comparison! Only Nspec can't see it ... LOL
Someone insert that Camaro into the above ^ pic and please be serious
Tera LOL! Nspec, you remind me this joke:
A wife hears on the radio that a man is driving on the wrong side of the road,and weaving so he doesn't hit any drivers, worried about her husband she calls on him on their cell. "Honey! Oh I heard on the radio that a man is driving on the left side of the road and is weaving so he doesn't hit cars. Be careful!" "Oh it's not just one car! There's about a hundred passing me on the wrong side!"
Fit in the crowd with current trends. The geometry is there, but people are confused by the controversial front bumper. The NSX is virtually the same size as the current McLaren and Ferrari. As pictured. The difference in detail is that the Italians have long front bumpers that give the illusion of a super small/low hoodline. I think it's a compromise that makes the front end look too heavy and long. The antithesis of a mid engine car.
People try to make silly comparisons of the new NSX to the Camaro or R8, but those cars have a much larger geometry.
Again, as said by NSXSupra and other owners. Haters are going to hate for whatever reason. I don't have to type long extended paragraphs to try and explain why I don't like a design. I move on and go somewhere that has something I like instead of crying endlessly like Effer with pipe dreams of a 200 hp/Liter Honda in a Italian influenced shell for ~$100K.
Thanks a lot Nspec for giving me such a good time!
When the wise man points to the stars, the fool sees only the finger.
Stop bringing the length argument, you don't get it ...
Exactly, vf2ss.
Appearance is what most buyers look at first.
The NSX's 'pink line' is almost 30% greater than that of the Huracan. I/M/O: The car would look hotter if it were more comparable.
And, as far as this statement goes: "Never heard of any one complain about R8 front." .... I complain about about that also; the R8's front is too chunky.
:smile:
Absolutely. By doing it Honda could lower the hood and thus create a more racy look.
