way i see it. this will flop. honda has flopped. toyota has flopped. subie and mitsu are hurtin a lil and nissan seems ok. Its just taking me a long time to realize the 90s are over. may JDM go on. but its struggling. maybe the toyobaru is the way to go. subie and mitsu are expensive. the 370z is expensive. the GT-R is a huuuuge hit. maybe japan should focus more on the 20-29k segment. and not a lancer gts and impreza.

im afraid the automotive world is becoming more and more german. thx Volkswagen

i dunno. all opinion. no facts in my post. too lazy for facts.

Isn't VAG the biggest automotive manufacturer nowadays?

It'll all work itself out, survival of the automotive fittest and all that.

well, if its gonna be Honda's finest after such a long time, i doubt if it will be priced lower than a GTR. at least not where i come from... Singapore.

should be looking at easily USD300k when it arrives here..

oh well, way out of my price range..

Acura NSX Concept
The dynamically-styled NSX Concept gives an indication of the next great performance vehicle from the Acura brand. Making use of lightweight materials and a mid-mounted V-6 engine, the NSX Concept employs several new technologies for Acura, including application of Acura's innovative new Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® (Super Handling All Wheel Drive™) hybrid system.

Utilizing a unique 2 Electric Motor Drive Unit with a Bilateral Torque Adjustable Control System, the all-new hybrid all-wheel-drive system can instantly generate negative or positive torque to the front wheels during cornering. Acura anticipates the new Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® will deliver handling performance unmatched by previous AWD systems. In addition to the handling benefits of the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD® system, a powerful next-generation VTEC® V-6 engine with direct-injection works in concert with a dual clutch transmission with built-in electric motor to create supercar acceleration while offering outstanding efficiency.

"This Sport Hybrid SH-AWD system will make NSX the ultimate expression of Acura's idea to create synergy between man and machine," said Takanobu Ito, president and CEO of Honda Motor Co., Ltd. "The NSX will make the driver one with the car to enhance dynamic driving abilities without getting in the way."

While most supercars opt for brute force delivered from a large engine, the NSX Concept champions the true racing philosophy of an extremely favorable power-to-weight ratio.
"Like the first NSX, we will again express high performance through engineering efficiency," added Ito, who led the development of Acura's first NSX supercar. "In this new era, even as we focus on the fun to drive spirit of the NSX, I think a supercar must respond positively to environmental responsibilities."

The new Acura supercar, expected to debut in the next three years, will be developed by an engineering team led by Honda R&D Americas, Inc., and manufactured in Ohio, at a yet to be named facility.

/\ sounds like it's going to be a $150K car. I just hope it has the performance to match that price tag. I just can't see, at this time, all that advanced tech, esp the performance hybrid tech, cost much less than that.
