We've been hearing for quite some time this consistent rumor of a facelifted NSX next year and then a total redesign 2-3 years later. Sounds like an odd strategy to me that can only lower potential sales and wreck resale values.
Lots of rumors but no spy shots from the Tochigi test track yet. Are there no spy photographers in Japan? Somebody buy J. Dunne a ticket to Tokyo
IMHO, I guess the new car will have the face of an S2000, the rear of an Accord coupe (NSX copying Accord copying NSX), and -gulp- the side of the new Eclipse or MR2.
I'm sure most would prefer a lower, wider look with an overall understated theme. Of course, even though it was never about horsepower alone, I hope that the quest for horsepower doesn't upset the fine balance that the current car has.
Also, we hope they don't pull a "Toyata Supra" on us, lowering the price and killing the resale market overnight.
I don't think Honda should alienate loyal current owners by oddball future marketing strategies. Unless of course they are planning to say "screw you" and repackage the whole thing for an entirely new market -- in that case, please just shut 'er down and call the new car something else.
Thoughts, everyone?
