They'll still find a way to F this up.

Meh, was never a big fan of the first one. I'll never forget the look on the owner's face of an NSX one time I raced at the track in my Supra MKIV TT after the utter annihilation of him and his car.

I'd take a Stingray any day over this.

Meh. I'm sure it'll have the requisite Japanese formula of AWD, a turbo 6cyl, and way over the top, cartoonish styling.

I am thinking this is going to be a fail along the lines of the LFA ( But questionable style, awesome performance but 300k? Really for a Lexus). If they can sell for base under 85k yes, but if this is going to be 120K plus. Honda/Acura is playing in a field they can't , they don't have the image of 100k car. If Honda is smart they would do it GTR style and slowly increase the prices over the course of the life and the growth in respect of the car.

Hardly, it wasn't even in a Bond movie. Toyota 2000 GT has that honor (in one off convertible form).

This is going to smoke the i8. If they can undercut or price it near the i8.

BMW already said they plan to release a more powerful version of the i8. I also highly doubt it'll be cheaper than $130k as the i8 is. It'll be tough to get a NSX anywhere near MSRP when it first comes out (similarly for the i8).

This car will smoke 458 replacement.

Just in time for their return to F1

Just not enough rear wheel driven options from Honda.
