@I don't even put the nsx in the same sentence as the ferrari or 918, as they run circles around the nsx too... Fucking double standards. This nsx is way too heavy for its average HP output. It wouldn't stand a chance against a cheaper 488 Pista or 720s. This car is exciting but definetely far behind European super cars.

@le m thanks for sharing your opinion but truthfully no need in name calling. What are you 10??? Regarding the new NSX it doesn't matter what technology you offer or what type of Hybrid the car ustilizes if No One is buying! Just looking at the sales record last year in 2018 only 170 units were sold!? We talking about for the ENTIRE Year! Now you wonder why Acura relaunched the NSX for thousands less??? It's great that you are NSX supporter but you cannot deny the fact that if the NSX continues to do this poorly. We won't even have a car with its "awesome" technology to discuss or debat about in the near future!

That's because the new C8 is what the original NSX used to be. A supercar-killer,that had performance of an european exotic,for half the price. Even before the C8 came out,this here was underwhelming at best(same with the new Supra). It's way too expensive and has far less performance than other cars in his category,which are cheaper.The Audi R8 for example is cheaper, has much more power and it comes with a N/A V10 that sounds amazing.(same engine that the Huracan uses btw.) And then,GM dropped the C8 and pretty much decimated this here and the new Supra.

It won't just be the Honda/Acura NSX there will be a whole slew of exotic sports car manufacturers & their Fan Boys that feel the Sting of the Stingray. Acura NSX Fan Boy owners feeling the Sting of the C8 Corvette Stingray yet!, the value of your machine has just dropped like a BRICK overnight. Even lamboringhini will suffer a big sales drop. The magic spell that had been cast over the car enthusiast has now been broken. That has gone for good. None of them will be getting away with it for much longer. People will see they've been taken for MUGS all these years, the perpetrators will be lucky to survive, of cause many won't survive as we'll see as time goes on, It'll be interesting to see, and humorous. If Chevrolet push hard in Europe it will finish off many solely sports car manufacturers. Eggs in one baskets and all that, that's their problem. Some Mugs will still buy the Acura NSX but it won't be for long as it won't be enough to warrant its continued production. The Acura NSX is as dead as a Dodo now. Potential C8 owners why not get your Acura NSX badge now, magnetise the back of it, put two crosses through it and have it ready to affix to the side of your C8 when they stop production. You'll have a whole long line of them as time goes on, Lotus will look & fit nicely as well. Stuff the lot of them, took y'all for Mugs... now they're going to pay, the C8 way.

$90k for a car back in the 90s is NOT affordable. It isn't really all that affordable now. But this car is more akin to hyper cars from Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari with its technology. And it comes at a huge discount compared to them. However, I do agree, ~150k starting does seem a bit steep. ~120k might have been better imo.

When my brother and I were younger we some day wanted to own an NSX. Then Acura went and dumped their brand in the toilet. I don’t know anyone who says, “damn, Acura is making great cars and I really want one.” However, this price is ridiculous! The price appears even more more ridiculous compared to the new Corvette or Tesla S for that matter. 40k of carbon fiber and an alcantara liner is a flat out joke.

I --- Did you own a Gen 1 NSX or just drive one 1 day and think you knew the car really well? If you own one back then was it a bone stock car? It only took around $3500 to $4000 dollars to change them up and from that point a Corvette had a very hard time keeping pace with one any more. I will agree with most other cars in a drag race were faster than an NSX. Once you got into the twisties. It was Adios Muther fugger. To that heavy corvette that you almost rolled over at speeds keeping up with an NSX!!

NSX: Styling: Looks better - looks like a true mid engined 'supercar', a much more cohesive design. The C8 really looks like a mid engined corvette, doesn't quite have the dramatic supercar lines and proportions, AWD - greater all-round ability and safety in varying weather conditions Hybrid- can be comfortable (almost silent) quite cruiser then a howling supercar at the push of a button Quality. -As much as I love Corvettes, they are still a GM product. The top build vehicle from Honda/Acura is going to be hard to beat in terms of quality/reliability Exclusivity: the NSX is shunned by Euro brand snobs, so they are in fact a rare sight. Corvettes will be everywhere when the C8 comes out. ..but if the budget is $70k, not $170k then Corvette is a no brainer against the likes of say a Supra or other high end Camaros and Mustangs...

@@iluvcakes19 That's a harder choice, becuase the Cayman is not an exotic mid engined supercar in the way an NSX is. Knowing that the Cayman is probably a better car in terms of quality, I'd still probably gravitate to the Corvette as it is more special with a greater sense of occasion than a Cayman. Also there are the servicing costs which would be a lot higher on the Porsche.

The dropped them back to right around $68,000.00 . They were only 72,000.00 in 2005 brand new. That was cheap for this car in the 90’s through 2005!! I had a lot of friends that had the ZO6 that I could out run in the corners very easily back then.

I think the new Corvette looks good too...but sorry, no comparison to this NSX for looks. The front and rear end for example, the NSX looks simply miles better. Side on the C8 gains some ground, but it simply doesn't have that ultra low supercar look the NSX has. The C8 Corvette is actually unique in that dept, it's mid engined, is obviously a departure from the front engined C7, but does not have the road going 'spacecraft' look of the NSX or Mclaren 570 or Ferrari 488. This latest video of the NSX in orange is actually a timely reminder that the NSX is a different level of exotic in looks. I'd also wager that as an overall package is a better car - which of course it should be for the price.

@@galencaudill6462 Yes, I certainly appreciate the Corvette for all of the things you mention, including the current C7, would have one in a heartbeat..but lets not forget Japanese quality and reliability (yes, I know this is US built) that the Honda/Acura name brings to the table. Also in real world terms, I hear the Vette starts at under $60k'..at $59,995!..but then there is the configurator. I like the light blue with all the carbon fibre bits, I bet that would bring the cost to more like $80K USD?..still a killer bargain...but on the other end of the scale with the NSX struggling to sell because of its high base price, I can imagine the real world transaction prices $140k USD probably?...and then with Corvette watch for the inevitable

Lots of inevitable comparisons with the C8 Corvette (which I love)..but the NSX just looks more -'supercar' to The C8 to me looks like a mid engined Corvette, rather than a mid engine supercar..still bloody nice, but the NSX is on another level IMO. Also it is a much more sophisticated car with AWD hybrid drive train that can be a quiet comfortable cruiser and a howling supercar at the push of a button. Something that the C8 Corvette cannot be. It's also going to be a lot faster (and safer) when conditions are less perfect and I would imagine the quality will be on another level too. I recall in 2016 the NSX was hailed as a cut price Porsche 918/LaFerrari/P1.
