Pointless product campaign from Acura.

I would love the idea of a new Acura NSX, but why bad a nice high class car without the ability to sell the model.

I would hate to be an Acura dealer explaining to a rich kid "Sorry, we don't have the car driven by Iron Man."

They do that all the time in movies...its pushing the brand name w/ something exciting.

Mein eyes!

^^^ A Mark Hamil classic :icon17:

There was som tittay in that movie. I saw it back on the old Speedvision Drive-In Theater. Oh to be a kid again. :bowrofl::bowrofl:

It was so effective you made a thread about it and now I have seen it too.

I think it worked! :icon17:

So did the NSX die off due to demand, recession, another car or what? I am curious.

Recession at the time, I believe. Which was for the better at the time I believe...it was going to become some big, front engined monster instead of the light, nimble, high-revving car it was...

the front and back of that car both look like the front of the car.

I remember them wanting to switch to front engine. :facepalm:

Is nice but I don't think the car ever hit its mark. Overpriced with no power just the name of the brand and advertisement.

I wish they'd bring out another NSx. Such a neat car.

:iagree:

We need more Mid-Engine options, especially if they could ever produce them for around the 30-40k range. I realize the original was overpriced, but a man can dream.

Ugh...I would kill to see an affordable MR car...guess we haven't seen one since the mr2....

Given how few people know how to drive rwd anymore, I think we are stuck with fr and understeer

ummm?

Wasn't that the car from "Corvette Summer" starring Mark Hamill?

No I think it was from "Core Wet Summer" starring Mark Hammer

:bowrofl::bowrofl::bowrofl:

According to my sources at Honda.. they ARE developing a new supercar. (Actually, when I asked the question, I didn't get a NO) Whether it will be called an "NSX" or not, remains to be noted. It's also worth mentioning that Honda has released that the car in that new movie was built specifically for the movie and it doesn't reflect the actual car they are developing.

To my understanding, the project was canceled when the economy went south, which is one of the reasons Honda pulled out of F1. However, since they have used their resources in the proper places, (developing hybrid and green cars) they are working on a new supercar. I wouldn't doubt it if is some sort of hybrid itself.

Also, a past issue of MotorTrend magazine noted that there were rumors coming from Acura that they are set to release another sports coupe (similar to the Civic Si) as well as a convertible model. It will all remain to be seen, but I don't think it's ALL a pointless product campaign.

;-)

It's is absolutely, positively NOT going to be Called an NSX ever again.


Development has been on hold for 3+ years. Without uehara, it's pointless anyways. Honda has no one else qualified to oversee the project to completion.

I thought this thread would be about their "aggression in its most elegant form" ad lol

:icon17:

Title could be applied to that as well!

That IS a terrible commercial, come to think of it. And I get irritated every single time it comes on TV.

I like the direction the new CEO is taking. There's hope for Honda again.

I don't believe in Honda anymore, I used to be a Honda fan until 6 months ago. All my cars were Honda but I just got tire of waiting for a S2k replacement and all the Honda's philosophy bull#$%t.

That was due to the old CEO's directive. Looks like the new CEO is going back to Honda's sporty ways.

Same reason I've been disillusioned with Toyota for so long. Bring back the Supra!!!

Never happen. Just like the Supra, and the other repeated attempts to bring back the NSX. Japan is a one-trick pony called the 370Z/GT-R.
