I agree about the steering wheel feel; in my (admittedly limited) experience with high-end cars, the gen-2 steering wheel feel is just great, maybe the best I ever came across. But like I said, supercars are enigmas to me, as I no longer can relate or desire for a hyper fast supercar with better infotainment controls on the steering wheel than my home stereo. Though I'd love the NSX2's steering wheel creature comforts in an everyday DD.
We can agree to disagree and that's totally fine. Were you at NSXPO 2014 and able to partake in the presentation on the TLX? I recall seeing nearly a dozen graphs/spider charts where, on paper, the TLX came across as being the result of seeking to make it the absolute best in every metric presented, from performance to luxury to economy, etc. Yet did that translate into sales hit or any "gotta have it" threads on a Honda/Acura-fan site like Prime? I'm ok being perhaps the only one thinking the gen-2 gave too much focus on fashion, design/appearance and luxury, detracting from a primary focus on performance.
And reeling this back somewhat onto the OP's topic (which I realize was intended to be in regards to the actual car introduced), I still would liked to have seen Honda do a "Ford GT" version of the NSX - a retro update sticking as close to possible to the appearance & size of the gen-1 (that seems to be receiving a lot more renewed love worldwide now than it did from 1991-2005) perhaps with light appearance updates but addressing various gripes of the gen-1 while upgrading the performance of the gen-1!
acura/honda never tries to hit homeruns in every catagory, they try to make a well rounded vehicle. highest top speed? never. lowest quarter? never. top 0-60? never. highest g's? never. yet somehow it all comes together to make fantastic driving cars.
