RE: PH Heroes: Honda NSX

[Urban Sports]

There is an early LHD one (K reg) that parks in my gym sometimes, looks great until you get close up and see how dated it looks I know how old it is but the NSX was a car that I always thought still looked very modern.

I'm assuming the later ones still look much fresher.

I think the look is very dependent upon colour and wheels - the early 5-spokes do look very dated, the 94+ (95+?) wheels still look fairly modern, while some colour combo's do it no favours (personal choice, but IMHO silver w/black roof especially now seems rather dated, while all-silver isn't quite so bad).

That said, I can't stand the look of a lot of modern cars - too many creases and angles just for the sake of putting detail on a car. I'll wager that in 20 years time the NSX is still considered a good-looking car while e.g. the R35 GTR and the various BMW 1-series are considered fugly abortions of design.

Think the newer 3.2 without the pop up lights doesn't look that old.

Just because a car doesn't look modern doesn't make it bad, i think most modern cars look boring.

EVO and Auto Express are both running stories on the new 'NSX' . . . Doesn't look too edgy . . . 400hp with hybrid power, 4 motors and yours for £75k

[melvster]

i look forward to the new car, question is at 75k will it be a sales flop????

People have been running stories about 'the new NSX' for 5 years now. Honda have even released two concepts, one of which was actually running (& racing!). I'll withhold my enthusiasm until I see the prototype running around the 'ring.

Re: the "artists impressions" - god no, how dull does that look?!? The HSV-010 was a stunning looking machine, even taking off the Super-GT bodykit. Please give us something that looks a bit better than a Jap copy of the R8!

What ever came of that Mazda Concept? That was a beautiful one.

[stephen300o]

The latest concept looks better than the last two to me.


Hope the engine is in the middle.

Images of the coupe version and yes, it will be mid engined .... Times 2, plus 2 'engines' up front .....

[Guvernator]

Looks like an R8!

[dinkel]

No!



Hints of CGT in there . . . which is not bad at all.
