mid 150k....and that's US pricing. When it comes to canada. i can see 200k+

great that they stuck with midship, but disappointed that it has no 6 speed option.

can't wait to see nissan and toyota's respond! Exciting times again from the japanese

its only exciting if those companies come out with affordable cars that normal people can buy....who in their right mind can afford a car 150-200k? I'm hoping companies like mazda, nissan, toyota come out with cars that are sporty and affordable. Not holding my breath on toyota since there supra or whatever concept they have will probably be an insane amount as well...

Same people who own property in Vancouver

fuck them haha

can't go one block in richmond or downtown vancouver without running into something worth 6-digits wrapped in some sort of hideous vinyl, or drive down the highway here without being overrun by a supercar finding it's way into the ditch... i'm sure they will find buyers in this price range.

Have to say I'm disappointed about that too... probably shouldn't be but I am :/

I wonder if Hondas F1 development had any influences on this or vice versa

Wish there was 6MT.

Old NSX used to be about 60-80k USD inflation rate that would be about 115 000 USD today

IMO price is pretty spot on. R8 V10 Plus at 550hp and similar specs starts at 190k. Have to remember this thing is supposed to benchmark a 458. Other tech like the full electric mode and new 9spd dct make this a bargain for a supercar.

I think a lot has to ride on the performance of the car.

The 1 gas and specifically the 3 electric motors will definitely give the car impressive 0-60 numbers and ultra-low end torque.

If it drives similar to the old NSX, the new NSX should be a winner.

Its beautiful, but is it truly exciting enough to command that kind of money? To us, its amazing, but to people with money? Hard to say. I know its cliche to say, and its not necessarily my sentiment, but its a 200k honda.....

True car enthusiasts can look beyond a brand for something truly magical, will the NSX live up to the hype?

The average 200k car buyer is looking for a lot more than how the car drives though. You know as well as I do, most rich people, first and foremost, care about looking, well, rich. Thats why you have people who buy ferrari californias.

^^^ the LFA is a 400k Toyota

I like it. Then again, I've liked all of the other NSX concepts that have been coming out since 2008.

Please, please Honda, just build it. They really need to make up their mind.

They are building it

I like it, but it wasn't a "love at first sight" style that I had when I first saw the 1st gen NSX in 1990

The technology is great though, and price is fair for what you get. I see some homages to the old NSX in the interior.

I think they did a terrific job with it, and I think waiting until 2015 will pay off in the long run. If they went ahead with the concept back in 2010, I think it would already be an outdated car. By waiting until now, they are using some very modern and future tech, that is also already proving itself in supercars like the 918 and P1 but at a fraction of the cost.

It is definitely in a tough segment at $150-$200k with the 911TT, R8 V10, Aston Martin.
But it will come in well below a 458, huracan, 650s, so it wont have to compete with the exotic sports cars. I think it will sell not too bad based on it still having some NSX nostalgia, as well as carrying the Acura quality, and serviceability. It wont be the best car in its class, but there is a reason we don't all use the same cellphone either.

Yeah it is, and they lost money on every single one they built, and only made 500 of them.

If honda is into doing the same thing with the NSX then that's fine, release it as a flagship limited run vehicle, and it will make a lot of rich enthusiasts dreams come true.

But if they are going to try and cheap the thing out and build something for less than 150k so that they make money on this project, I can see the entire thing failing horrifically.

Yes this isn't in the same realm as the type of car the LFA was. Lexus built it because they had something to prove, not to be a successful car. I'm not sure of Honda/acuras motive for this, but it doesn't sound the same. Keep in mind, what made the original NSX so amazing was the driving dynamics. Once the GTR came out, driving dynamics in supercars became a distant thought behind nurburgring lap times and shifting speed.
Is the NSX going to be impressive enough numbers wise to negate the desire for the original NSX? If anything I think all its going to do is make the original skyrocket like the new 911 turbos did for the 993,964 and 930. If you want to buy an old one, buy it now, because I'm willing to bet its going to be the next 993 turbo

Its funny because looking back previous GTR's before the R35 had the exact same goal as the current gen. The GTR was always about seeing how far the boundaries of speed and technology could be pushed.

The NSX, supra, RX8, etc. never had that as their goal. As much fun as it would be to see the Honda build an NSX which is going to try and reign in the GTR it could be a very dangerous game for them to start to play.

I mean Westopher is bang on, even at 200k I don't know how many people with that kind of money would say no to a 911, R8, or some of the various other options and say they want a glorified honda. (save me the lesson about how the 911 is just a beetle).

Is there the possibility that honda pulls something incredible off here, yes. Just saying that right now i'm not seeing it.

It may become a classic case of the people that want it can't afford it and those who can will buy a status symbol. It's a shame but that's the world we're living in. Is the new NSX an underdog? I'd say yes but it's hard to label it since it hasn't had a real customer feedback yet and testing has been minimal at best.

As a Honda guy would I buy it? Fucking rights I would. Pretty much sight unseen if I had the cheddar. I'm a brand loyal guy and will stick with a company even through tough times. But that's just me.

I don't think that this car won't be classified as a status symbol, people who are buying this kind of car (2 seat mid-engine supercar) are not always buying it for the badge, a lot of the time it's the look and what the car represents, just because it has an Acura/Honda logo on it doesn't mean that the WOW factor is gone. The new NSX definitely has the WOW and then some. If I saw this cruising up Robson I'd be staring and listening with my jaw on the floor and ears ringing just like anything else, and that's not just because i'm a car guy.

As for the price of $150k US, I'd say that's pretty fair considering the performance and tech they are providing. It would definitely be on my short list if I had the mula, even if it was in 458, huracan price territory
