well i guess they just took their F1 engine and stuck it in there ;)

Slightly off-topic but I'm really liking the S660, would definitely consider one if they put the upcoming Civic's 1.5 liter turbo four in it as well as a removable hardtop.

Del Sol redux.....?

Acura NSX price announced for Canada | CTV News | Autos

:lol

tough sell,Knowing you can purchase a ferrari with that amount..

Geez they blamed high pricing for killing the previous NSX (I remember seeing a 2005 in the Richmond Acura showroom with a $144,000 price tag on it back in 2006) so what are they thinking with this one?

I think because this iteration has the performance to back it up whereas the previous ones lacked it in terms of acceleration.

It's sort of good in the way they priced it, makes it rare, like the original

I think a used 458 will be a better buy.... Or even a 650S :pokerface:

Maybe Acura decided they actually wanted to make money on NSX's this time lol

Personally I would have a very hard time buying a new NSX over a new GT3.

That price would makes sense if it's a one-time limited edition halo like the LFA.

For the amount of new technology packed into the new nsx....it is good value....sure, there are more sporty cars than the nsx, but if tech is your thing, the nsx makes the gt3, 458, 650s archaic.

Archaic is what people should want in a sports car.

I agree with you 100% westopher. It does fascinate me though new car enthuiasts have different wants and needs. If I had a 458 and a 993 turbo, I would love to have a new nsx as a totally contrasting different type of performance car. You are basically getting Porsche 918 technology for $0.20 on the dollar

At that price point you can bet it wont do well in sales. Still a massively impressive car and I'm glad to see Honda producing fun cars again....looking forward to driving this one.....in Forza

I would think people that can afford these kind of cars are buying mostly on what they want/like over crunching numbers of which car would give the optimal value per $.

And not everyone wants to buy a used car, especially when you have money to buy brand new.

So it's about $80,000 US

:troll:

Looks alright but I'd still prefer the old one.

whats the US pricing like? you cant really judge a cars value on its CDN price.

and whoever said a 458 is a better buy than the NSX, isnt base price on a 458 like $275 or $300k?

In its price range you're looking at what, a 911 turbo or gt3, an R8, and what else? Most of the more elite sports cars are going to be closer to the $300k mark.

So if you want a Porsche, you're going to buy a 911 regardless. If you want a race car you'll buy a GT3. If you want something else????? R8 or NSX are a good comparison, and I see quite a few R8s around.

US pricing starts at $156K and then goes up to $205K for a fully optioned one

Sounds like Porsche style option pricing

On paper the new R8 V10 would be a good comparison against the NSX, not the new V10+ which is a monster but then again we need to wait and see how fast the NSX really is before we can make comparisons. I would also throw in the 570s in the mix.

And majority of the local R8s are V8's, not too many V10's out there, the V10+ is even more rare.

Stop complaining about $250k price tag. Is it because it's an Acura?
Lexus had no problem selling LFA at $375k and it was sold out pretty quickly.
