thanks for the video, although the guy's voice is quite annoying.
old NSX is a classic.
I don't want to say new NSX is a failure, but it is definitely not desirable at all.

noone1:It needed like 150-200 more hp. Even with AWD and the electric motors it wasn't any quicker down low.
It also took way too long to come out. It should have been out to compete with cars a generation earlier. I'd say MSRP should be like $130K tops.
Power would have been OK for a 100k car...

NSXER:Acura's NSX sales April '18 (USA) = 5 units
That's five total - not a misprint!

Pretty sad and no matter what people believe, I actually think the NSX looked good and was a breeze of fresh air in the sportscar market, just for the wrong price (or with a not so competitive power figure).

All exotics with similar tech will be difficult to repair later on...
"Mass production" sportscars have a huge advantage...no worries, even in 20 years.

That's why for sport cars, I only buy 911

A R8 definitely qualifies for that.
We're at the point where you can be the fastest or just sound like you're the fastest.
The secret of life is to admire without desiring.
KMM:"... until I licked blood"? Must be a German idiom. What does it mean?
RC got hooked on something. Like real sportscars for example.
Perhaps he also meant something like this...

CGX car nut:NSXER:15 cars sold for May 2018 (USA)
Lower the price by $50,000 and the NSX is a winner. Too much really great competition in the current price bracket.
or remove the hybrid, keep the power and lower the weight (shouldn't be a problem after the hybrid tech removal). Maybe then...

I saw my first one on the road (real owned not with dealer plates near a dealership) yesterday. A 500hp ICE, no hybrid and $50-60k less and this wouldn't have been the first one in the wild I've seen. Good looking car on the road. But I"ve seen more Bugattis driving in Toronto that NSXes....

NSXER:6 (as in SIX) total USA sales for June 2018.
This is actually pretty sad but here is a very interesting question: Did Honda...oops, Acura...actually plan to sell this puppy in larger numbers or was it just a marketing ploy to show the world what they can?
They should may this car happen again...without hybrid, much lower weight and especially a much lower price.
