noone1:MSRP announced at $156K, going over $200K fully loaded with CF and crap like that.
Too expensive IMO.
I think the price might have been reasonable if the car's driving personality and feel was better (and maybe raw performance too). I personally would not be interested at half that price, if the reviews are accurate (seems like a very bad fit for my driving priorities).

Gladstone:Seems that the reports about the steering, handling, etc. are almost exactly the same as the original NSX.
No, not in the same universe. Original NSX had manual steering, fantastic manual 5 spd, and RWD with lots of analog feel.

Gladstone:I am pretty sure it had power steering and most of the reviews praised the high revving engine but described handling as being so predictable as to be quite boring.
Nope, manual steering for the first few years. Later had power steering and 6spd.

JimFlat6:It's not physically unattractive, but from the reports it's steering, handling and propulsion seem uninspiring. Maybe if it had more feel, a "normal" hi output engine and sold for 65k it might get more love.
Actually, it could sell well under 100k in all markets but for close to 200k with options? No way.

J.Seven:Atzporsche:So boring and bland.. who is the target market I wonder?
Fully agree.
The US?
Acura...Lexus...Infinity...really successful in the US only.
Of course the Acura NSX would be very likely marketed as a Honda NSX in Europe but still...for over 150k EUR base price (I assume even more), no chance.

The X box generation.
Aren't we the X Box generation?

noone1:I'm sure the performance on the track will be crazy good, but it's just too expensive for the design IMO.
you are too polite.
front of this car is ugly, rear is not attractive either, the only color that makes it looks decent is black.
the original NSX look is timeless and classic.
