I think the hybrid mode is going to make this car an absolute beast SH-AWD with INSTANT torque and turbos for the top end...

I'm loving the switchable mode selector...

now to find $150k laying around...

Infiniti eau rouge if you count that as a sedan option... Godzillas core

I don't think Honda is competing with anyone they dance to their own music

The nsx came out as a civic Esque reliable sports car with Italian looks and moves and all at a fraction if the cost of the Italian

I'll have to see more of it, but the V2 original looked better.

LFA was discontinued in 2012.

I believe Infiniti pussed out and will not be making the Eau Rouge.

And this new NSX is anything but Civic-esque. I doubt it will be "affordable".

Yeah- it might not be as strong as GT-R but might be as agile as the Elise- light and quick.

I thought back in the day Skyline and NSX use to go toe to toe?

Infinity backed off? I saw them posting a test run on the German track -can't spell the name lol Nubruring ?

I was speaking of the original nsx. Civic Esque suggested it was wicked reliable and easy to maintain

The original NSX isn't easy to maintain...My buddy & his wife own 2 of them & their main gripe is the camber on them & how fast they eat through tires...along with parts for them still being at a premium.

But I'll take it over a GT-R just because I'm tired of the GT-R(not taking anything from it) but I think it needs a redesign now...

Understood, but the "affordable" supercar is what the original NSX was marketed as.
