Acura Teases Production NSX

I can't wait, I LOVE $100,000 cars with a 3.5 liter V6 out of an Accord.

But doesn't the DOHCS make it more gooder than a Corvette V8 with pushrods?! 

Not when it is V6 from an Accord, or costs more than a Corvette.   I think the Corvette is a great product, I almost don't like that they try to push it up market and do the $100,000 versions, because the Corvette is supposed to be the every man's sports car.  The Corvette is about value or at least it should be.  This is why I wish Cadillac had a $100,000+ sports car so there is no need for a Corvette above the Z06, and the Corvette can stay true to it roots.

Without reading anything about this upcoming NSX, other than hearing that a hybrid may be used, I would guess the powertrain is the Acura RLX hybrid V6 deal with like 350 hp and a 6-speed auto.  The interior won't be any better, might even be worse, so you care getting a $50k car interior and powertrain for $100,000.  The NSX is one of the biggest rip offs in car history.  The whole Acura brand should just be closed down to save themselves future embarrassment.

It's a shame that the Japanese can't build sports cars today like they did 20 years ago.

Acura NSX

Toyota Supra

Mazda RX7

Mitsubishi 3000GT

Nissan 300ZX

With this, only Nissan is still doing the 370z/GT-R.

At the very least, this re-launch may increase the value of the older NSX models.

Japans only real Sports Car was the R34 and R35 Skyline! Those cars kicked everyone else to the curb.

To see another NSX be made would be stellar. NSX at the time was one of a kind. Almost like a poor mans Lamborghini.

Without the performance...

It was more like a wealthy man's Accord coupe.  You'd think for a $90,000 price you would get more than 270 hp.

Did you say the same thing for the 850i? Because it was precisely 26hp more while being slower to 60 by 1.1 sec, yet costing a little more. It was out-handled and out-stopped by the wealthy man's Accord coupe.

For its time when it was introduced, the NSX was a precision knife. The problem was that Acura let it rot while others zoomed past it. 15 years is a long time for a car without major updates.
