Why do you think revised versions of old cars like that are still being made? Because the community loved the old ones and supported both the company and the product. They better pay homage to what came before, because without it, the new version wouldn’t exist. A huge part of how these new versions can even remotely exist is purely because people love the old ones.

I agree with you, this is a great car. My dad owned one of the originals back in the '90s and then one of the new ones, in 2017. He made some of the same statements you did, but he loved the fact that he could "daily drive" this car and you CANNOT do that with some of the supercars out now. The NSX is fast, and it was a ton of fun to ride in. Unfortunately, dad passed in 2020 and, since I can't drive, I don't think I'll be riding in one again any time soon, sadly. If my dad were still here I think he would agree with you about the infotainment system, but he was technology challened, but he didn't buy it for the infotainment, he bought it to drive it! RIP Pop!

Having said all of this, and reading all the comments, I would still much rather own this car than any of the other super cars that are out on the market now. I think the quality is a lot higher, from what my dad explained to me I would think that the drivability is also a lot better.

To be honest, I felt like no one gave this car the respect it deserved, and so it felt like the supercar just for me. My family owned an old Acura and every time we went in for servicing I always checked out the NSX in the showroom. I love the looks, I love the technology working behind the scenes, and I loved its message. I would root for it in GT3 races and choose it every racing game. Although I'm sad to see it end its production, I'm happy that it existed and that Acura cared enough to make the type s. It'll still occupy the top of my favorite car list, and I hope that the stars will align, and I can drive it one day!

The issue was it’s competition at the time. It was more expensive than the Audi R8, Porsche 911, nissan GTR, and BMW i8. And outside of the i8 (which wasn’t really competing, it was doing its own thing as a fuel efficient sports car) it was slower around a track than all of them, while costing more.

@CalvinHikes

The original NSX sold about 1200 units per year. The new one sold about 280 per year. On average. The original was subjectively good looking but certainly a simple elegant bargain. The new one I don't think looks as good, its also complicated and expensive. I think the thing that heard it most was the fact that it's just ugly. I know that's an opinion but I think that's an opinion shared by most would be buyers.
@acidgolem2132
@acidgolem2132 8 дней назад
@CalvinHikes the problem with the new nsx is that it does pretty much the same thing as what the original nsx in an era where nobody care about it anymore. The original nsx isn't even that good looking COMPARE TO IT'S COMPETITION back then, it was not fast compare to the competition back then but it offer reliability and comfortability that other supper car of the same era does not which make it as famous as it's currently. The new nsx pretty much does the same thing as it's predecessor but in an age where most supper car are already comfortable to ride, it doesn't really stand out as much. Also if we adjust for inflation, the new gen nsx is price on the same range at the old one so it's not even cheaper

This is a beautiful car, but the biggest downfall will always be the price and performance. Similar to the LFA, I think the NSX took too long to develop that by the time it hit production, it was already obsolete compared to its competitors. If the NSX was released 4 years earlier, it might have had a different turnout.

Nah, it suffers from the "stunt" problem. People, unfortunately, will never see Japanese cars as anything other than ecoboxes.

It's always Raris, lambos, Mclarens, Mercs, Bimmers, etc. The only ones who care about these cars are Japanese enthusiasts, and there aren't enough of them. Being seen in an NSX is whatever, being seen in a Ferrari is kewl, and matches your gucci wallet and gucci glasses and charcuterie board.

I’ll never understand why people complain about the performance. It is literally faster to 60mph than an Aventador, 488, Huracan, GTR, or R8 V10. It costs around the same as a 992 Carrera 4S which is significantly slower to 60, slower over a quarter mile, and comparable in lap time (at worst) on any track. A 2017 NSX has the straight line performance comparable to a new $380,000 Lambo Aventador for half the price, how is that poor performance or value?

As an owner of a 92 NSX, I like this version. New NSX was always nice. Interior def leaves a lot to be desired. I do think they missed an opportunity with not making a non-hybrid and manual version.

I think the NSX's biggest issue is that anyone with a quarter million dollars to spend on a sports car wasn't going to spend it on an Acura. The car just doesn't compete with the 488 and the Huracan. The old NSX was priced to pull customers away from the Corvette ZR-1 and base Porsche 911. It just isn't on the level of the exotics in its price range.

I concur with Doug, I think these cars are great, I just think they pulled a "horizon zero dawn" and released the new NSX during a flurry of supercar buzz, what with the huracan being new at the time, I believe an updated 488 was coming, and mclaren was really getting ramped up at the time prior to the 720. That, and we were still all particularly incensed about hybrid/electric stuff still. FWIW, I don't think this car disrespects it's legacy at all, and I'm a honda guy. The original NSX is hailed as an incredible analogue driver's experience, which it is, but that's only from the relative viewpoint of our power-everything crossover world today. Back when the NSX was new, it probably seemed like just as much of a spaceship, computer-on-wheels type car as this one seems to us. Hell, NSX stands for "New Sportscar, eXperimental." So we know they weren't going for something traditional. I think the legacy of the car is exactly experimentation with technology.

I love the OG NSX but I can't see why this car has so much controversy just because it doesn't have a manual or less analog feel. There's probably a few reasons why that had to be like maybe they couldn't find a reliable manual gearbox that can handle the power and for the less analog feel, you have to remember that we can't always dwell in the past.

As others have stated, I think it was a combination of price plus legacy that smothered this car from the outset. The Grand Tour review was fairly telling when, despite the tech and cost, it was basically on par with the R35 GTR, which obviously isn't anything to scoff at, but when you factor in that the NSX also costs around $40-50K more, it becomes a difficult sell. Then there's the legacy aspect, the first gen NSX was a simple driver's car that focused on being "budget friendly" with racing pedigree to boot, as opposed to a hybrid supercar which made it seem overtly complex and that Honda was caught chasing trends instead of doing their own thing as they did with the first gen.

The problem with this type s is they made a mistake only doing 300, the body upgrades over the 2017-2021 models are great, but the performance upgrades are still very limited on these. But the biggest issue to me is the interior, it is no better than a TLX, and the price is a major letdown.

I agree. The purpose of the nsx is innovation and experimentation. It did so at the time of the original nsx and by just doing the same thing again it wouldn’t have lived up to its namesake. If people got what they “wanted” which is a old school an engine with a manual transmission then there wouldn’t be anything new or experimental about the car. It would just be old and traditional. Times have changed and so has technology. Many of the vocal car enthusiast on the internet seem to be stuck in the past and anything new or innovative is heresy and dogma. It’s odd because tech enthusiasts on the other hand are fanatic about the bleeding edge and rarely would you have someone wish they made computers like the amigas or commodores of the 80s. I like the new nsx and I do think the price was a bit much. But I am also able to understand that Honda was trying to bring technology seen in 700k+ supercars downstream and down market. As far as I know there is not another car that is like the modern nsx.

If I remember correctly, they had 2 NSX’s that were languishing on the showroom for like 18 months. This was around Dallas so it’s not like it was a small market and they were even being heavily discounted. It’s such a shame as they were amazing cars. It was the same way with Mk 4 Supras.

The modern NSX competes with the established brands that aren't fragile, have good quality control, and give a better driver experience. The NSX sounds horrible. You have to make unorthodox compromises.

As a former Acura salesman, current and multi Acura owner--my challenge with the car is it looks like other cars to me. The C8 especially. When I see a Porsche, I know it's a Porsche. I agree with Doug that the info system is way out of date. In regard to it going up in value...that I can see. Just look at the original early to mid 90's NSX's. They listed for $65-75K. 10-15 years ago you could've got a nice one with under 50K miles on it for in the $30's...not any more. They are double and triple that from what I've seen. I just with it had a manual transmission. I have paddle shifting now and never use it.

​@@WolfiiHD I do know that. Not sure that it matters which came first. In the end, to me, it's harder to distinguish between an NSX, the C8 and the McLaren--whereas, when I see a Porsche, I instantly know it's a Porsche. When I see an older Lambo, I know it's a Lambo. To me, there's too much parity in auto design.

I agree. In 2016 I bought a Honda VFR800F (motorbike) at my local Honda dealer in Duesseldorf - he was and is the biggest Honda dealer in Germany. The then-new NSX was on display there, painted blue. Sorry, but it looked ordinary. Over the months I saw one in red, then one in sort-of-white parked there. They didn't appeal to me. However, my girlfriend really liked the looks. The original NSX looked way better imo and for my part, a sports car for public roads got to have a manual, otherwise it's just a show-off.

I'm not a honda fanboy and even then I liked the car when it first came out. Ironically, the people who hated it the most WERE honda fanboys who cried about how it wasn't as jdm as the og. Honestly confounding to me how stuck up they were about an objectively good car. It wasn't as cheap or as analogue as the original but it came out fucking 27 years later, and still was a bargain in comparison to its performance bracket. It honestly annoys me how they caused a good car to have a miserable production run of just 2900 units, and Acura will never try it again in fear of the same thing happening. Honda purists truly screwed themselves out of a good car that they won't even have the opportunity to regret hating on because they'll never see it on the road with how rare it is.

I've had an R8, AMG GT, AMG GTS, SL65 AMG, POSCHE 911 and a C7 z06 and now I've owned the 2nd Gen NSX for couple of months now. I agree that the interior infotainment system is really outdated even more than the 2016 AMG GT that I've owned, however if you use android auto or apple carplay its not that bad since most people use one or the other anyway. Hate it or Love if I compare this to all the other sports cars i've owned the NSX by far attracts the most attention. Every time I'm on the road I see people snapping pictures and videos especially by people of my generation (mid 30s to upper 50's). Common reaction I get from people is that they've never seen one on the road as well.

I'd have thought that the top of the range, performance version would be the Type R. What made the original NSX legendary was it performed as well as the supercars of the day but cost half the price. That's a tough formula to replicate today.

Long before the end of its lifespan, the NSX got hideously expensive. I remember a former Acura employee telling me they had a 2000 NSX at the dealer for more than 2 years because nobody bought them, no one was willing to pay $90K for an Acura back then.

Only NSX I ever drove was a 2004 NSX-T, Imola Orange. Of all the fast cars I ever driven (no Ferraris or Lambos) it was the most fun. We talk about cars being on rails, this set the bar. Others you felt were on rails and you turn the wheel and it goes. The NSX, you THOUGHT about the direction you wanted to turn and you were already going that way. I came close to one in 2009, hate I went another direction.
