Re: NSX Flambé
Bamboo is very strong. You ever been to Hong Kong and seen how they build buildings with bamboo! :)
At the right price and dynamic ability I would be interested in this car for my commuter car. Hopefully I could use it in the HOV lane!

I assume you are referring to the use of bamboo scaffolding for high rise buildings. I was so impressed that I took a photograph of one back in the days of expensive Kodak film.

LOL!
I love RT. You drop one word out of context and the thread does a 180 backflip into randomness.
Bamboo scaffolding is indeed very impressive.
You want random? 
Edison used bamboo filaments for his early mass-produced light bulbs. But they were quite short-lived because they also burned out.

I use sliced bamboo in my Thai curries and stir frys. It's quite a versatile plant.

Bamboo is also used in landscaping as a sound barrier. I've been to houses that are amazingly quiet right in the middle of the city by use of bamboo.

Re: NSX Flambé
Honda should not give the front of the NSX the Civic look . That is a big mistake and was already a mistake before .
If they would give it a distinctive front, forgetting about branding , the car would do so much better ..... at least in Europe .
The 1rst NXS did not sell well in Europe but did well in the US.

Re: NSX Flambé
It sold well then because of the low price. Back then the yen was like almost 50% cheaper than now so Honda sell them cheap yet still makes money, by the end of production the yen has appreciated like 30%, forcing Honda to raise the price drastically and the sales figure tanks. At 5 figures it's a great Japanese car, but no one wants to pay 6 figures for a Japanese cars back then.
I wonder how much Honda is going to charge for the NSX this time around, @ around 120k-150kUS it could be a good deal, but if it goes for much more than 150k then I don't think many would pay that much for a Japanese car, no matter how great the performance.
