I think it's pretty ugly. Especially the wheels and the front grill. Oh and the back end which looks like an unsophisticated American muscle car. hovever, it has a lot of DNA from current Honda's too.
I really wanted to like this car and perhaps it'll look better in the flesh. But it's not ringing my bell.
Cheers.

Wheels are ugly, nose and rump too generic, interior stitching is nice though....
Will reserve judgement until I see it in the flesh.
yeah me too ... at least 2 years away still
i like the interior shots ... very nice

Well I'm still happy with my order.

Looking at the centre console photos it looks like it has a "mag ride" button like the ones found on Audis fitted with "mag ride"
2005 NA2 NSX, Berlina Black with full red leather interior.
2016 NC1 NSX, Casino White Pearl with red semi-aniline leather and alcantara.
I see the info link above mentions Honda's original torque control system for an "on-the-rails feeling" when cornering. Hopefully this is a better system than the PTV on my 997 turbo S which relies on braking the rear inner wheel. This wastes energy, wears out brake pads and you cant' switch it off or even know at what threshold it intervenes.
Don't like the sound of an intuitive interface in the "Human Support Cockpit" either. What is wrong with round dials with numbers and needle pointers?
I think you've failed to spot the pachyderm; the whole point of the new car is the e-SH-AWD system, which uses electric motors to re-direct torque as required across the front axle & a Li-ion battery in the centre console. Think of an Acura RLX in reverse. Nothing so crass as that old Porsche system.
The problem is according to rumours, on twisty circuits, the battery goes flat. So they're now trying to squeeze in a turbo-compound generator as well. Hence the wheels & everything have to be carbon fibre, so it doesn't end up weighing like a meteorite.
BTW, the interior is apparently only one of two proposals - maybe another at Geneva?

“I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson
