This e-mail is from Hirofumi Tomiyoshi from the NSX Club of Japan. I have met him and he is a great guy. He is the last person in the world to make something up about the NSX. He has done lots to make it possible for US owners to attend the NSX Fiesta in Japan, and he has also used his contacts at Honda to find the answers to some esoteric technical questions I have asked him about the NSX more than once in the past. The Mr. Uehara referred to in this e-mail is the head of the NSX project at Honda Japan.
No real surprises here. I think everyone knew the flip-up headlights were going away and that for aesthetic reasons the wheels would probably be bigger. So the only question is - will this be a refresh of the current NSX slated for production next year, or is this a preview of the 2nd generation car? I've e-mailed him about that, but I guess either way we will know for certain in about 3 months.
Hello friends,
I talked with Mr. Uehara last night.
He said "We plan to exhibit next model at Tokyo Motor Show." The size of wheels are 17 inches in front and rear, but rear is wider than front. Headlight is fixed.
Tokyo Motor Show will be held on Oct.27-Nov.7 at Makuhari-Messe. English site is here, http://www.motorshow.or.jp/show2001/ENGLISH/index.html
