The Acura shield makes it look cheap and doesn't belong in its class.

Kinda like taking Mac n Cheese to an all pasta buffet

Honestly, it doesn't look that bad. It's just that we're all used to the old 90's to 00's design. I'm sure it'll grow on us someday.

But yeah, lose the beak..

That's the problem.. when you release your flagship supercar and use the same name as a legendary car, it has to blow people away.. can't settle for "doesn't look that bad"

I think it looks amazing, maybe could use a bit of tweak here and there... but its something different which means it'll stand out among other supercars. And for once that Acura grill works for me, wish I could afford one cuz I'll buy one in a heart beat... it'll probably be too expensive tho...

Thats how it looked in the Superbowl commercial. I like it a lot except for the lame Acura grille thingy. Even then at least its not as big of a shield as the other Acura models.

Hurry up and make the damn thing will ya Acura?

If you wanna driving pleasure or fun factor, go buy a miata or elise.

these kind of cars need to go fast. look at Veyron, Aventador, Enzo, LFA, GT-R...none of them have manual tranny.

This report indicates that Acura may price the NSX above the GTR's price.

Acura to Price New NSX Above GT-R

Why didn't they put in a nice high-revving V10 like the lfa, instead of this hybrid stuff. We all know how the new cr-z turned out.

So that concept car was still recognizable as an NSX.

Now it's just an Audi R8 knock off WTF.
