Honda not happy...
Seems this insider - http://jalopnik.com/believe-me-i-m-i...-it-1749608524 - has annoyed the big wigs at Honda. All to do with those Continental tyres (see early road tests). The guy's postings also have insights into a lot of the still-not-finished details - more underbody ducts, etc. (On the subject of which, this section needs to be renamed "NSX 2017").

Ah, the risks of doing things outside Japan........

Hilarious!
I think the problem with the exhaust studs probably has them more worried than the rubbish tyres.

“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
I'm with Jalopnik...whilst the guy MAY have been guilty of something relating to breach-of-contract, that's civil law not criminal so there's no obligation to share his details...and the words 'public interest' could arguably trump the contract anyway...

Blue '08 FD2 CTR - big, ITR-sized shoes to fill...
Yellow '96 NSX 3.0 - oh was it worth the wait!
Black '99 ITR - well, I had to have another one, the first was so much fun. Miss this one even more than #1...
Blue '03 S2000 - SOLD, flawed but fun
Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
Red '98 Civic VTi - SOLD, probably still bombproof
Agreed.
However, it again shows up Honda's spectacular ability to mis-manage everything recently and make themselves look like an even bigger bunch of twerps than usual by trying to lean on Jalopnik.
AND I'm not really a great Jalopnik fan, either.
