The new NSX is cool, but it doesn't exactly live up to the old one and that makes me sad. The original car sold for $60,000 in 1991. That's about $100,000 today. The new NSX is going to cost multiple times that much. The original NSX was Honda saying "hey Ferrari, look we did it better and more reliably for less money". And it was. The original NSX was a cobbled together from a V6 found in the Acura Legend, and the interior mostly form the Honda Accord. It was cheap. Relatively speaking. It was simple, and because of that dead reliable. It won every motorsport event there was at the time. It beat the Italians at their own game. That was the plan. An amazing car it truly was.
It is for these reasons I do not like the new one. It uses an extremely complicated hybrid engine/drive train. The exterior is flashy. The interior looks over engineered with weird angles and lines. Top it all off with a $250K+ price tag, and you have not built an NSX. While this will be a cool and interesting car, it is not an NSX. It shares NONE of the qualities or selling points of the original car and pays no homage to it at all. It will surely be fast and exclusive and record breaking, but that is not the point.
Shigeru Uehara would be dissapointed. I REALLY with they would not have called it NSX, but something new.
