    Coming To Detroit: Honda NSX Successor Concept

    If there is one thing that has bemoaned enthusiasts for the past few years, it's the lack of the NSX from the Acura/Honda lineup. Orginally, Honda had originally planned out the NSX replacement, but was canned due to the global economic crisis.

    But within the past year, Honda has hinted at a return of the NSX, with their CEO Takanobu Ito adding fuel to it.

    If a report from Autocar is to believed, Honda will be showing a concept version of what could be the successor to the NSX at the 2012 North American International Auto Show in Detroit. The car, known as the Super Sports Concept will follow the Small Sports EV Concept that will be shown at the Tokyo Motor Show.

    Not much is known about the Super Sports Concept, but expect either a hybrid or electric powertrain.

    Instead of wasting resources bringing back a low volume, high-priced supercar, Acura should bring out a desirable, reachable car, because the current lineup isn't cutting it.

    consider that the latter US-market NSX was watered down from not only its then-current Japanese version, but its previous iteration (the NA1 is largely considered better than the NA2 as far as the Acura variants go). Also consider that Acura's lineup--rather all of Honda's lineups--are utterly boring. They desperately need a car like this to put some soul back into their lineup.

    I always liked the NSX. Just don't screw this up, Honda (they probably will).

    • I know a Greek guy in New York and he was just telling me that he used to take Olympic Airways to and from Greece.  He said that it was Aristotle Onassis's airline ... I didn't know that.  He told me they had a 747 named Olympus and another one named Zeus.   Olympic never put out much of a reach to North America ... just NY and Toronto, I believe.  They bankrupted sometime post-9/11.  Now, Greece only has much smaller Aegean, but they stick mostly to Europe, the Middle East, etc. Here's one of their 747s approaching Athens Airport next to the sea at Ellinikon. In looking up this airline and jet, they had a write-up on Olympic Airways Flight 411 which was using the 747 Zeus in 1978, so this was a fairly new unit. Fairly shocking for a veteran crew - 418 people on board - close call ...
    • I watch a ton of shows and follow quite a few YouTubers, but it's because I have about 80 minutes a day on a bus to and from work. 
    • Most TV shows and sitcoms that take place in the same 1 to 3 rooms test my patience.  Maybe that's why I might watch documentaries and police shows, and very rarely at that, or watch movies I've read about in advance and want to see.
    • I honestly have tried a couple times and Seinfeld is just not funny nor interesting to me, I feel like I deserve a refund for my time wasted on that show.  That also is why I tend to not watch much TV unless I stream a movie as I would rather be out living life than sitting in front of the tube being programmed at.
    • Several of my friends have asked me, "What, you never saw that Seinfeld episode?!?" I'm seeing it for the first time.  It's funny. I thought "Seinfeld" was boring ... too slow. The only episode I've watched was the "Assman" episode.  Kramer, in my mind, was the only funny character on the show.
