Also NSX has always handled better than its contemporaries so I am expecting this one to be a benchmark as well.
The last gen NSX was one an amazing car, light, fast as heck, and handled better than pretty much anything else. Plus unlike a Ferrari which it could keep up with, you can drive an NSX every day and roll 100k miles on it like a proper Honda. It was light and a mid engine design.

As you know I am no fan of Japanese cars, but my take on this new car is we will see. The NSX left some big shoes to fill.

Heck they made the thing from what 1990-2007? Only the SL can get away with production runs that long.
