“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
Unbelievably, it's about the same weight as this old girl:

Or only a bit overweight, compared to a 1,700Kg 918.
I'm not really sure how one judges these things, any more.

At least one could argue that you do get value for money in just weight alone.

If you fancy a real giggle then check out some of the optional extra prices just recently announced.
Just to put them into perspective, a £1,500,000 Bugatti Veyron optional floor mat set will set you back a mere €850

so the rest of the world gets the HUK pricing policy (think of a number, double it, add a zero)???
aka Jonathan!!
'92 charlotte green auto.... as a daily
'37 Ford Y street rod......... something for the weekend!
...... if a photobucket pic is foggy, click it, and it'll take you to the clear version, yes, it's a clicking faff....
Yup sure looks like it
Can't wait to see the HUK mark up price.
Honda UK salesmans opening pitch before offering them any options will now have to be, for health and safety reasons:
"I INSIST you first take a seat please sir"
The journo that wrote this article sure feels the way we do I think. Made me laugh anyway.
I wonder if Acura will send me a set of Press Floor Mats just to test them. I can pop them into my Beetle, nearly doubling the value, and write **** like:
“I’m a believer. There is no going back. The driving — no, let me correct myself — LIVING experience I had using these floor mats makes the birth of my son feel like a trip to the gas company to pay a bill.”I know Acura is by no means alone in charging absurd prices for **** like floor mats, but I think it’s worth pointing out. Maybe I’m wrong; maybe these are fantastic floor mats, worth every goddamn penny.
I was happy to see that Acura is really doubling down on their ‘we have more headlights than anybody’ identity, and offering a $7500 Headlamp Expansion Package option:

New NSX is out of my budget but I truly hope the technology delivers as suggested by earlier animated YouTube releases as it will again be a game changer.
If I as in the price bracket my money would buy what I consider to be a successor to the NSX http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/mo...ource=20160225

I certainly hope their road cars perform better and are more reliable than their F1 cars!
