From April's Road & Track :

 

Looks like an aston martin had a baby with the new civic type-r. And lexus 450gt wtf.

 

Did the NSX have a sex change to this plump feminine transvestite? That car is not as aggressively designed as most sports cars of such caliber. It seems like they copied the 350Z and added 22 inch wheels...

 

dont pull the trigger so early next time

 

awww man they thats ugly, too fat. I thought the nsx is supposed to be sleek and exotic looking...
wasnt this concept supposed to be the new nsx http://www.carnorama.com/graphics/ho...SCconceptB.jpg

 

OK I thought that was supposed to be the next TSX? *lol* Which I think would be more appropriate than an NSX.

More importantly, a V8 -- finally all those complainers will get what they want. Altho I am still skeptical about how much it will help the RL sales.

 

let's not put so much attention on the pic guys.... you know that's nothing more than a rough guess anyway

the article is pretty interesting on the engines though i think

 

1. It's Road and Track Magazine, not the most reliable source of auto news.

2. That's a terrible photoshop.

3. If the next NSX is front engine/awd (as stated in the article), who the heck would want one? It'd be a grand tourer, killing the racing heritage and name. Might as well call it something else...

 

From my understanding, that is not the NSX but the possible Acura coupe that is coming. Remenber the CL got discontinued.

There is nothing concrete. Some have said it will be based of the Euro aCcord, some have said the RL. There has been rumors for sometime, a RL priced coupe is coming.

But we know the basics.
FWD based
Platform shared with 50 other cars
V-6 high revving
manual offered
loaded to the gills, like a best buy inside.

 

I sure hope not. Like MIke said, there is a rumor that is a V8 baseed Acura coupe with SH-AWD. However, there is still a rumor that Acura might make the next NSX, or super car replacement a front engine. If that is the case I think I might switch over to the Cayman.

 

Like the body style but hate the front. Overall, I give it a !!

huh?? what happened?? More like a CL replacement...

 

Just curious, you go from "I'll belief it when I see it " from talking to Acura people (that you mentioned a few times before), to saying this is "finally credible info" on the new NSX from reading this from R & T. Any particularly reason why this is finally credible ?

 

Honda has reportedly changed its plans for the successor to the Acura NSX supercar, according to Germany’s Auto Motor und Sport magazine. Instead of building a strictly race-oriented sports car, the Japanese automaker now plans to go after Aston Martin with a grand tourer. The all-wheel-drive car is expected to come with a V10 engine and all-wheel-drive. While we wouldn’t take the artists’ impression of the new NSX (shown right) too literally at this point, it does offer an idea of where things might be headed. An official launch is expected in fall 2007. AMS also said Honda is planning a small city car to compete with the BMW Mini and Suzuki Swift. Moreover, the magazine said Acura is planning to launch an Accord coupe in 2009 based on the Sports 4 Concept.

Honda said on Saturday that it is considering building its first Japanese factory since 1976 to make power trains or assemble cars, reports Bloomberg. On Friday, Nikkei English News said the plant will be used to build new VTEC motors and a V10 engine for sports cars, coming as soon as 2008. Honda is widely expected to unveil a V10-based NSX successor in the 2008 to 2009 timeframe. According to a recent Auto Motor und Sport report, the new Honda/Acura NSX will move upmarket, and will target Aston Martin.
