Sounds good. Couldn't tell much about it otherwise. I always liked the NSX's body. They always looked like Ferraris coming up behind me on the highway. Of course, that's what they were SUPPOSED to look like . . . .

Its not mid engine, it probably weighs 4,500 pounds, and has more computer BS than the space shuttle.

So its like an NSX, just not as fun.

It has what the older NSX lacked..........BHP in raw sense, 500bhp will compensate for the fun factor, I am positive.

Yeah but its just like the Nissan.

The old NSX was supposed to compete with the small mid engined Ferrari's, like the 348/355/360, etc. They should have updated the concept with a larger engine.

I agree, this NSX looks more like a product out of corporate Honda than the engineering division. The original NSX had a soul which I doubt this one would have. Also the original NSX had the blessings of Sochihiro with testing and design input from the late great Senna. This one seems to have none of those attributes for sure. It looks more like a mass market high bhp car.
