    Go on, own up...how many of these are AutoExpress lash-ups?

    The white one is clearly someone's fanciful way of getting column inches - Hyundai Genesis front-end onto 350Z middle with a generic arse bolted on to finish it off...

    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

    KILL JOY!!!

    in all honesty it would be nice if Honda would get a few more offerings out there and a bit more choice in their show rooms
    TBH they need to think of something ... Toyota are making big steps into the performance game and the CTR is only going to cater for a small market share

    Yes, we all know that part from the camo-car seen running round the Ring, these are all probably “lash-ups” by board artists ... but does it hurt to speculate?

    If they built something close to the yellow one, offering @300hp with or without hybrid tech, a great exhaust note and priced it right in the middle of the competition I’d be interested. The rendering looks like a baby NSX and surely that’s what they should be aiming to offer.

    The white one is an "NB" NSX re-touched with Tippex, apparently.

    There have been numerous 'new S2000s' but none have actually made it on the numbers - 86BRZ sales are dire.

    Craziest speculation is that Honda has bought the old Aston Martin VH plank, in order to build a ltd edition homologation special for the new JGT rules.

    “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
