Honda NSX Gets New Lease on Life - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

well at least it looks nice, the windows look like they came off the Ferrari Enzo. i dont think it will be a viable sports car option for most people. it's probably going to be WAY too expensive (im guessing well over $100K) due to all that newly developed hybrid tech. they're throwing in it. and it will probably be heavy as mess with a big battery and electric motor hidden somewhere in there plus AWD. then its only going to have 400 hp, though out of a V6 it's pretty respectable, but how many people will choose the V6 hybrid car for the price of an Audi R8, over an R8. i know i'd pick the R8

Honda's are getting too expensive is all I know. My last "Civic" cost me over $24k. The last NSXs were going for $88k.

I wonder whether or not the C7 will have a hybrid powertrain...

Read closer... they are going to roll the accord platform in reverse direction to make it a RWD mid-engine!

I think that's the "Barbie" edition (comes with matching purse).

Well....that's not quite where I was going with it....

I think GM will find Corvette owners are not looking for that option.

LOL, there is an understatement!

Honda should stop trying to make sporty cars. Seriously, it is embarrasing. This car will not change their image or fool anyone into thinking an Accord is a sports car.

I'm not so sure. The current demographic doesn't seem to want Corvettes at all....And the idea of a serious hybrid sports car is going to be hot by the end of the decade.

assasinator · 12-06-2010, 09:41 PM

its all crap. jap crap. and i bet it will cost more than a V.

THE EVIL TW1N · 12-06-2010, 09:42 PM

i think we might all be in for a surprise as to what an accord chassis might be able to do. I think it looks nice BTW, very "McLaren-like"

They did a good job on the S2000 IMHO. They also ran a decent racing program. You'd think that would transfer to the NSX wouldn't you? Someone in management seems to be underutilizing Honda's technical capabilities. I'll bet Honda could make a supercar that is really super if you put the right guy in charge of it over there instead of whomever is running the NSX program.
