No.....just no.

Why not? Anything that keeps UK workers in jobs is a good thing in my book.

Having owned Honda's for the last 25 years, I've had only one British built Honda and I wouldn't buy another.
The monkey's in Swindon that assemble Civic's and Jazz's cannot be trusted to build a supercar.

Here here. I pose one question which should answer this definitively - When has anything good ever happened in Swindon? And that question is by no means restricted to the automotive industry....

looks awful to me - like something out of Robocop

Still think the front looks like it was designed for a Michael Bay movie.

Iron Man 2 to be exact...

I hope this brings down the prices of the old NSX, I might be able to afford a facelift one at some point then.

I think it will do the opposite sadly.

Crushing my hopes was just unnecessary really

From Avengers Assembled actually, Stark drove an R8 Spyder in Iron Man 2.

Eh, they built the JDM CTR there then shipped it out to Japan?!

TX.

really like the looks of that; wheels a bit fussy but on the whole a nice, sleek design.

not a fan of those "new" lines...

I'm more into the lines of that older concept>>

I know that, and it still suffered from the same build problems as the UKDM EP3.

Compare the UK built EP3 to the Japanese built DC2 and get back to me when you find out which is the better built car.

Ditto.

Now - That's more like it!

[LuS1fer]

The NSX was "of its time" and in this day and age, a new car isn't going to be able to reproduce the leap that was the NSX so why call it an NSX? It's not like loads of people bought the last one. I think calling it an NSX dilutes the classic status of the old one.

I prefer the second one. The main picture has a metal bar and round badge reminiscent of a Vauxhall grille.

That is far far better looking.

The concept styling looks like that of the modern Civic, not to my tastes at all.

The older concept is exactly what I had in mind when I clicked the thread. Lovely

Looks like something out of a sh*t sci fi movie.

That on the other hand looks like a sports car

[Raitzi]

I see it as more as gt-r mixed with r8. I think NSX should just be a RWD and more alternative to Ferrari than Nissan, just like the original was.

I think the HSC above looks awesome. The proposed production car on the other hand is a dog. The general consensus seems to be that they properly screwed up the front end. But they're still going to build it.
I also wonder where these first gen hybrid sports cars will be pricewise in ten or fifteen years when there are newer, lighter , more reliable, more efficient versions available.

[will261058]

I think that looks brilliant!
