Better economy, TONS more torque, simplified mechanics, bullitproof engineering, cleaner than gasoline if desulfured properly, and likely the future of a lot of our cars.

Nsx Replacement Designers Are Stuck

Really? I dunno....I saw this in Nukem's Avatar. Then found out it was originally designed by Major Stoner. Personally, I prefer a coupe; however, THIS is a gorgeous car. I don't think it looks much like a vette at all. The ProCar NSX doesn't look very much different from the original NSX does it? Can someone photoshop the HSC to have some ProCar cues to your liking? I'm curious to see your vision of how the next NSX should look.
One of my co-workers turbo-charged his diesel truck. I asked him about fuel economy and diesel itself. He says that he runs a mix between Vegetable or Other Organic Oil and the Diesel for even better MPG and Power.
Is this what Honda is Planning:smile:In a way I am glad Honda Designers are sweating while they work on the looks of the NSX replacement. They realize now that the level of expectations for a replacement of the NSX are VERY high. They realize that just another design like the ASCC will not do. I showed the ASCC pictures to some of the nurses at my office to see what they thought about the way the ASCC looked. They all found it to be good looking in a generic way but nothing special in an exotic sense. The NSX they consider very sexy.
I am hopeful that they will come out with a design that will do justice to the current NSX and Honda pride. Let me think positive :wink:

Don't see much of the Corvette in the pic at all. And I wouldn't mind the Next NSX looking something like this
Come on Honda...we really need to get back to something like this:
This is such a great looking car. The only things I would change is slight style changes to the side-scoop (slightly bigger i.e. taller) and the roof lines on the back side of the cockpit - I always thought the rear window looked odd. And of course, a V10 with 500+hp. Now that would be a next gen NSX to me.
.
Why not V-8 with 500hp...but since Honda/Acura have already been researching the V10 I guess it will be V10
+1
Honda should use a V8 in the HSC. I remember reading somewhere, a Honda Rep saying that a V8 or V10 would negatively effect the balance of the NSX due to it's weight. I'm not mechanic, but a V8 should be lighter than a V10 no? I'm sure they could've squeezed a V8 in the HSC. IF NOT, then use a V6 that would give 350+ hp. I know that's not enough to compete with the others i.e. LF-A, GT-R, however, the NSX was no slouch at 290 hp now was it
If it's light enough, i'll be happy with a V6, but yeah a small high revving V8 would be even better.

Honda is complicating this way too much,
Comptech supercharge the 2002 body with some HSC like new bumpers and a Cantrell wide body, install Moton's and sell it for 120k and well will all be happy.
OR someone forward the picture below to Honda before they screw it up again.
If ford can sell 150k MR cars than Honda should not have a problem.
They also failed in culture when it was not presented the prototype white like all legendary prototype type-r's instead of the common prototype GM silver. At least that would have made our unrelated supposed NSX replacement slightly more true to the brand.
Here's Honda to do list,
Make it MR,
Present prototype in Type-R white.
Keep up with the ZO6 and GTR.
Copy Ferrari's styling again.
Keep it under 3200lbs
DO N0T
Don't make it Front wheel
Don't present in anything but Type-R white.
Don't be slower than the GT-R
Don't ever, ever, again copy corvette styling
Don't build a 3800lb pig

I'll take an HSC with a V6, and bring the TypeR to the U.S.
This is what I want.

I know, I know - I always look at hp/weight ration in terms of hp per ton myself. Too often perhaps...
It just needs to have enough power to not get left behind by a 2008 RS6 station wagon
Which is kind of sad, since most stock cars will. I love both sedan power beasts and nimble sports cars concepts so this forever going competetion is just great for me.
If AUDI can make a V10 w/ 580 hp why can't Honda...
So I quess right :biggrin: .
I'll pm back to you, when Im back to home... Im going tomorrow surgery oparation :frown: ...
-pegi-
No doubt that Honda can "afford" a gas-guzzler engine in a low-volume car - their overall CAFE numbers will likely still be the highest in the industry. My point was that a large V10 might have an image stigma in 2010, especially if GM and Ferrari go to smaller engines.
Are you suggesting that a Honda 5.5L V10 is going to get equal or better gas mileage that the NSX? LOL. A Gallardo coupe - 5l V10, AWD - gets a combined EPA 13 mpg. A V10 from Honda might be a mile or two better, but its not going to get to 18 or higher.
Not suggesting it Honda themselves said that the new V10 would exceed the NSX in fuel economy. Lambo has never been a company that cared about fuel economy plus they don't have Hondas resources. Even Audi has never been that big into fuel economy as they have some of the worst cafe out there.
When it comes to fuel economy Hondas not the company to bet against!
Holy cow that thing is ugly...like a futuristic Acura PT Cruiser.Look at the designer of this butt ugly car and the way he pontificated about that thing. Would you expect much from his team?

Have MDX, also like TSX. 6-spd version is what I'll probably go for when I get around to replacing my Accord (don't like current TL or American version of Accord - both too big).
1989 called and is curious where these HIDs & viper fuel cap came from.
HSC + efficient 400-500hp v8/v10 + no more weight = good start
(though something McLaren F1-ish with the rear pilar/glass/hatch might be an improvement - man I still love the F1)

HSC + ~4.0 V8 + 2800lbs (wasn't its dimensions smaller than the NSX)
How does that sound?
Sounds like my bank account would be taking a hit.
Would you guys prefer transverse engine with a trunk like the NSX or longitudinal mounted engine with a smaller trunk/no trunk?
Smaller trunk/no trunk is fine w/ me. They could even leave some space up front for a small duffel bag, etc for the weekend getaways. I don't need space to carry golf clubs; that's what the SUV, sedan, etc are for.
Ha I knew it! It's not just Honda
