2017 Acura NSX - Jay Leno's Garage 

+MetalJesusRocks Brilliant idea!

They are ridiculously expensive but maybe just maybe some crowd funding could help and a few more celebrities.

+MetalJesusRocks or you could use Willow Springs for $100/day. :)

It's the same principle as owning a private jet vs renting it. Monthly cost will destroy you vs renting a whole track for yourself.

Its a great idea but its really expensive

Mainly forgotten because of McLaren 570s... and quite possibly the Lotus Evora 400 or 430 or Evora gt?

It's just big. It's nice. It's fast and quick. It is well done Just the design language doesn't have original NSX emotion. A great spec sheet and meeting regulatory needs doesn't light a fire.

It's died the same way lfa did. Overpriced, underperforming, & competition is better value

It’s because when the new NSX came out, all the competitors put the same numbers up 5 years earlier

This newest NSX is all about technology. The original NSX was about great performance (for the time), achieved with relative-simplicity, reliability, and lightness. It was artful (at least, with the original concealed headlights), a "Japanese Ferrari," and it represented the epitome of what we loved about Honda, the company. This newest "NSX" should have a different name.

squaddd

+ARMYTRIX I love her Walmart pants! This girl has class!

+ARMYTRIX Yeah like, really! We all see what she's doing. Iol But hey, I guess if you have it, flaunt it... even if it's on Jay Leno's garage and you're representing your car company. hmmm???

+drunkandgreasy LMAO!!!!!!

o yeah she squats lol 👍

exactly!!!!!! nothing about it is paying homage to the true NSX. It's not even being born at the same plant it's being made in America yet some people still want to buy it.

wow! this honda civic looks really good!

looks like a flattened civic, and yeah, not anything like the classic NSX.

Surprise folks !!! Jay is a Honda Hater. Honda brand was his favorite jokes in the 1970's -1980's. to make the TV audience to laugh until they drops. Seriously lol.

I KNOW ITS SO BEAUTIFUL

Ahahaha

Yes! I really hope we do!

I did a 59.4 there at Exotics Racing in the NSX. I couldn't get the hang of it lol

Tell me what you know about those "Naval Base Buildings" in San Diego.

Bruh... you're giving him wayyyy too much credit, and letting your admiration get the better of you. Regarding what he said about the seats, he was literally just saying that it's a bit hypocritical/contradictory for a super/hyper car (which are supposed to be all about performance, which means being as lightweight as possible) to use powered seats because they are easily more than 10lbs heavier than manually adjustable seats, mainly due to the fact that they need an electric motor strong enough to push/pull the weight of a full grown person + the weight of the seat itself. Many, many motor journalists make this exact same comment when reviewing other supercars/performance cars, completely ignoring the fact that almost all of them (including the NSX as the engineer guest pointed out) offer *both* manual and powered seats in order to satisfy the needs of both the hardcore track customers, as well as the more easygoing grand tour/daily driver customers. This engineer was particularly awkward/nervous for some reason, but it definitely wasn't because he was "intimidated by Jay's depth of knowledge". He was most likely nervous about what his boss will think of his performance in this review/interview, and how the video will be received by the public. He seemed like he was also just totally unfamiliar with the format of these videos, and didn't know what kinds of questions to expect. I would've thought that professionals like him would've at least watched 2 or 3 videos on this channel ahead of time so he could've at least *tried* gauge how things were going for him by comparison.

lol

+pedrof830 Totally agree.

+pedrof830 agreed jay is looking real cute these days

+barfyman362 I guess we both like a man with some gray on his head!

+barfyman362 No, I meant the chief engineer! LOL

@God's Com'n Some are selling for 100k now with low miles still, the difference between 2017 to 2020 is only noticeable if you plan to track it.

+Jeff Kelly I agree :)

Sad thing is they aren't selling very well at all.

2nded

too bad they ignored the front

😄

Tou Vang hell yeah 🤟🏻

Are you talking about HER rear, or the car's?

Does Jay realize that both the car and girl have a nice rear?

Notice he DIDN'T do his Kardashian joke re: the rear end!!!

@@keithwestford6924 you think?!!

LeiserGeist lol The engineer has no sense of humour

That engineer seems like a knob. No personality.

droid0311 agreed - I can guarantee jay won’t have him back on the show again ...to be honest - the girl engineer had no personality either

I would just hop over the fence instead of driving.

@@198634 a girl like that doesn't need a good quality personality, just great assets and we all know that's where she shines XD

$

so how much do you think Jay payed for her?

@asteinmann LOL.

So all the feats performed by Ferrari in Motorsports are nothing? Ferrari became so popular because they devastated every other manufacturer on the track.

@Blasian Babies ford did won but did they won as much as Ferrari did? No.

Yuv.S Estd.98 Ford won, and dropped the mic!

@@enyionyeobia5103 ya ya 😒

@@BruDia until Carroll Shelby came along.

lol and almost only to thank her dad for that boost (don't get me wrong sure her skills are insane)

Fap alert 🚨 🤣

+Sjrick NO ONE SHOULD HAVE THAT MUCH DISPOSABLE INCOME. ULTRA- HIGH TAXES IS MY BAG.

+Sjrick I'm firmly convinced Jay thinks supercars are like Pokemon; gotta catch them all!

😍

+Moby Green SKWAATS!

Spreadie to the Gods, that's gonna be good for the core!

Statistically you will probably get less attention from the police in a black car (or white) of the same make and model then red, yellow, orange or any one of those colors young blond girls seem to delight in. I know that sounds a little feminist, but it only takes a little paying attention on the road to understand that it is mostly a true statement.

Lol well said

Definitely

What's up Cruza!

the outer work / shape is fine... don't like the paint tho!

Well designed😎

exactly

+1.

Do you even know what Acura stands for?

Acura is Honda tho😕😕😕😕

+cosmodave69 The word "Acura" means nothing in English, as the names of 70% of the products around us also don't. Acura is an ancient word for the god Mercury, that's where we get the word "accurate" from. Among other things, Mercury was the god of precision.

The design not the machine

@gilbert martinez Still has a waiting list.

@@itsthatbeeguy the chick? She pribable does have a waiting list. The car? No there ia not.

You'd be scared if she dropped those tights.

ME TOO I WANT TO SEE THAT EXHAUST! SHE IS SO FUCKING HOT!

Who knew teal pants could look so, so good.

Exhaust, head lights, everything!

I love to see a woman that can fill out jeans in the right way.

There is a car in this video?

Haha savage

yes

Hahah!! Nice and thick

she looks better then the car.

+invisibleaznDJ Her rear end looks awesome !!!

true.

+Clifford Zellner Honda and bugs lol this is Japanese engineering not American/Italian :-)

+Bach Bababach its created by the acura team owned by honda. The same people who worked on the original honda nsx didnt work on this car. atleast not allot of them.

+Bach Bababach American garbage? I bet that American stealth bomber works just fine. bet you wouldn't want to doubt that

Best comment here.

Every car in its segment like the R8, 911 Turbo, AMG GTR are all far more impressive.

Agreed. Just like the original was for many years. People are so slow to realize what's in front of them....really slow.

And lets not even get into reliability..

Yeah most people just think about Lambos and rarris. I can’t stand seeing people like these youtubers that come into a little tiny bit of money and go and get a lambo. I personally think they are tacky at this point

@Daver G imo you wouldn't really want boost on top of vtech, yeah it can be done but its probably not good for the longevity of the engine.

Definitely would smoke all other v10s especially if they figured out a way to get low end torque.

Imagine the sound!

@Daver G do you even know what VTEC is? You do realise that one of the advantages of variable camshafts is a quicker spooling turbo?

Lfa sound and than with a vtec systeem perfection

My thoughts exactly!

Conser Vative to be honest the whole segment was awkward.

Absence of the real top gear^

+AugustFourSeven Agree. We are pacing until Clarkson's new show. But am curious about the New Top gear that has Joey from friends.

Rudolf Menon what is the show called and what network/service is it on

+Trevor Crowe Clarkson's new show will air on Amazon.

the one with 4wheel or 2legs?

@@g60force The car was visually stunning because SHE designed it . And Michelle was very impressive . Educated , articulate , down to earth . She is an asset to her art and gender . I feel like we will see more cars designed by her in the future .

It’s unfortunate but yeah. Sex is that mainstream that men are completely addicted to it. Its also what you get when a woman shows off her body which man are wired to like. Personal responsibility both ways.

I am sorry but no matter how many women you see, nature has just geared men to want to mate an attractive mate. To deny nature is plain stupid.

@@jitkr1489 that's not true. some men are more perverse than others. it all has to do on your childhood, and how addictited you are to the other sex. A beautiful woman will call attention, but a more childish man will drool over, while a more mature will appreciate it and carry on.

My pee pee go shpweeee

I can appreciate a good song, a nice car, a stylish building and an attractive woman. It's what makes life worth living since I was 5

I would agree if the new NSX wouldn´t be much more expensive than all of those examples you listed up. It would be great if it came with a Caymans or Hellcats pricetag. But it´s more in the (pricewise) league with a Porsche Turbo or a Dodge Viper and almost up to the cheapest available Ferrari. And I think you would have way more fun in any of those and they also have their own unike design, wherelse the NSX looks kind of like a supercar from a arcade racing game where they didn´t bother with original licenses. Acura dealer would have a hard time to explain to me, why I should buy this over a Nissan GTR which outperforms it and is 50k cheaper...

You're right about the price, and strictly looking through the lens of a buyer you make good points, but If I had the money (and I know it's a dream scenario for the great many) I'd definitely get one. Maybe wait a few years for the price tag to drop on this one, it is brand new out the gate of course.

NSX is like 180k

yes, and of course point made. If you factor price into the equation it's fair to say, it may lose in the value measure. Of course, it's truly a luxury buy and I'm simply basing my opinions off the idea that money isn't a factor. The new NSX is certainly spendy, and you won't be approaching one anytime soon without the bankroll, that's for sure. Cheaper HP can definitely be found elsewhere, but if you are in love with the aesthetics and performance like I am, you simply won't care.

+ComeGetSome5297 starts at 150k lol

That would be awesome

Given this car is faster than the Aventador lambo even though the lambo has 100 moreHP.. I think they did well with this motor

Lol - this car is not faster than the Aventador.

It just beat it in a drag race.. Its definitely quicker with the drivers in this vid. Plus its new. The Aventador while cool its old news. I do like the new one

In my opinion, this car is way too expensive for what it is. The price tag should be sliced in half

yeah man, they should've went with lime green with a hint of babyblue!

+deke441 you must be talking about the lady?

I've only ever seen one in person, it was silver like that one. Absolutely stunning.

I would take the new one and daily iy

@mark smith exactly

The NSX 's new design isnt reminiscent in any way of the older design, wich was so nice it inspired the mclaren f1. Look at the new 2020 Supra, it has the long hood, the rear is similar, it still carrys the original soul. The new nsx looks like a puffy vette or somesort of lambo. i would of muuuched rather a mclaren f1 type of body look. And its expensive also.

@@profo4544 retro design is not good

Lol. I think that went over a lot of folks heads

+9/11 insidejob Rather take the bus than sit in a basement with a tinfoil hat on my head.

Tinfoil hat that's an awesome retort. lol thats all you can afford bro, shits stale as hot ale.

+Jim Garrity honda and acura is technically the same thing because it has the same engine

+Twist Revenger or the same company lol

If you don't want it visible, stop accentuating it with lycra and turquoise. 👌

why dress like that then? shes coming out everywhere
