Well it was basically a toned down 348, really. It would have been better proportioned with a shorter rear overhang but the Yanks wanted a big boot for golf clubs! The last prototype had pert rear, which looked far nicer.
In my eyes, the facelift car was better resolved and the NSX-R the pinnacle. It was elegant, purposeful and unfussy. You are looking at £200k for one though.

I think you are in the minority regarding the face lift, the pop up is much better loved in retrospect.

Pop-ups is a cleaner look and less likely to date.
I think the facelift looks so much more modern, and the popup will be the look that dates...

Some nice pics of it on http://www.nineteen80one.com/geneva-international-... along with a few other show stars...
if they could sort out the chrome gash across its face, then it would certainly look a bit neater...

It's certainly interesting, do we have confirmation of the finalised prices for the UK? Some are saying it'll be £130k, others in the £100k region. Having heard the V6 in action it doesn't sound that impressive to my ears but it should be fast. I'll be personally waiting to see what they do with the Type-s and Type-R variants! 
^^ Exactly. UK prices still unconfirmed, but US prices are "from $150,000" IIRC what they said at Detroit. Given that the car is being made in the US, you can bet $150k US will not equate to £100k landed and on the road in the UK - wouldn't be surprised if it isn't more like £150k...
And Honda UK and its dealers haven't exactly covered themselves in glory with the new car already; very little proactive engagement with existing NSX owners, it seems. Unless this thing knocks the competition (and that means Macca 570s, R8, 911T, AMG GT etc) out of the park, it's going to remain a niche choice...
