Thread: NC1 will be on "The Grand Tour" next month.👍

  1. #1

    Default NC1 will be on "The Grand Tour" next month.👍

    There's not many programs I've waited so eagerly for to be launched as this one and was it worth the wait, you bet, it's brilliant.

    I tuned in at midnight and went to bed just over an hour later with a big smile on my face even though the guys essentially used the same old tricks, lines and stunts albeit in a different setting which gave it a real fresh feel along with a "Hollywood" film style and supreme quality cinematography camera work, just awesome.

    The NC1 even made a sneak preview guest appearance which was great to see.

    No doubt there will be a lot of you forum boys who wouldn't give Clarkson a second look but I can assure you the Amazon Fire Stick is the best £39.99 I've spent for many a year.

    And it's getting great reviews already from everyone except of course the BBC 😂

    Chalk and cheese compared to Chris Evans poor attempt.

    Saw the 1/4 second view of the NC1. I think that's what I will call it from now on as its not really an NSX. Anyway watched the Grand Tour....same old bollocks!

    You've got me wrong Pride. I do like the car but it (in my opinion) has absolutely nothing in common with the NSX that I fell in love with when I first saw a picture of it back in 1991. The NC1 is a beautiful car and I do like it but it is like every other modern sports car. They are all a bit samey and do not stir the emotions in the same way the original NSX did when it was launched. The NSX name is merely being used for marketing purposes

    As for the Grand Tour, considering their budget, apparent free hand on scripting and content and the hype I thought the show was "OK", but I look forward to future episodes especially the one with the Honda NC1

    I totally agree about about our NSX when compared with the NC1, simply no comparison.

    As for the Grand Tour, its just great to see that great shaved ape Clarkeson back in his element taking the rise out of everything motortrade related and beyond, I suppose that's what I enjoy most about the show to be honest.
    It's such a shame he couldn't get Trump on the show, now those two together would be hilarious. 😂

    I thought it was okish, and why didn't Clarkeson lay into Ferrari like he would do on any other manufacture! Is it because they all have a Ferrari and don't want to upset them?

    Clarkson doesn't own a Ferrari (and has only ever owned an F355 Targa a good few years ago now).

    I haven't seen GT yet, but why do you feel that JC should be giving Ferrari a hard time Paul?

    It's great to see the programme back to what it ought to be, away from the over-weening political correctness/ignorance of the PeadBC.

    We Honda anoraks have got quite used to using model codes for cars with the same name, so referring to NA or NC-cars seems perfectly logical to me - I always have. It's a bit presumptuous to refer to the Acura GT5000 as the 'NB' (that might have been assigned to the transverse-engined new NSX, but I doubt it got that far before going inline) but if it helps to avoid confusion...

    Of course, Honda FKed us up by using the same code for two generations of Euro-Civic; UFO & Bagpuss...

    I do regard the NC as being a Honda NSX, merely too much car & too much tech for my requirements - that might change after I drive it, of course.

    I think I'd likely be more comfortable with an NA or an Evora or somesuch.

    “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
