Prototype. Not production.



To parallel the notion, it's like you want this:



And they're probably gonna offer this:

same could be said for lf-lc, so not sure why the cheap shots at this point.

Why the Lexus jab on a Lexus owners forum? Lexus didn't tease the LF CC for 100 years. It was a concept, it got approved, its coming.

The 2nd NSX was to be a V-10 like the production LFA. Well one made production and is now considered one of the all time greats and the other never was built and is now a V-6 hybrid.

not a jab at all, and you're right, the new nsx has been a ridiculously long time in gestation. i should have written lf-lc (not lf-cc which i guess is the new rc), which is already 2.5 years along and probably isn't going to be here for a while yet... but it's a gorgeous car for sure!

The difference is, the new NSX will suck and the new RC-F and SC-F will rock

V6 was fine back in 1990................not in 2015. Both the new Lexus coupe will be V8.

If Acura gonna down level the NSX so much, they shouldn't make it at all, just keep making leather wrapped Accords with LED headlights.

definitely possible. but not guaranteed.

V8's are awesome, and glad the -F models will be V8! the induistry trend though is toward fewer cylinders (unfortunately) and hybrids. the lf-lc will be hybrid i believe? as will this nsx i believe.

GTR uses a V6. Does it suck? The NSX is on a normal timeline if you wanna get technical. Like the LFA it was in limbo. The HSV racer in SuperGT WAS the NSX, but got canned and we all seen that story. So the cancelation of that was around 2010(?) and now 4 years later you see a brand new NSX. While the LFA switched direction to carbon fiber, the NSX switched its entire design. The HSV is FR, the NSX is MR AWD Hybrid. This is an entirely new car from the V10 car seen on the ring around the time the LFA prototypes were. On top of it, Honda NA is doing the car. So when you look at this gestation period, remember that the first car (HSV) was to be a front engine coupe. The NSX that you see here shares very little with the 'HSV'.

The LFA is on another realm, you can't compare the two. The LFA is a full blown exotic on par with the best ever made.

As you noted, Honda Japan wants nothing to do with the car and told N/A if they want it, they can build it.

Who is making the comparisons, not me. The HSV was to be a car like the LFA, NOT this NSX. I said the HSV prototype was in limbo. Then it was suppose to be called NSX, but it was canned. There is no comparison to the LFA there, only that the period of time its taken and the changes of direction are similar in pushing the product back. But unlike the LFA, the HSV was cancelled! Therefor this NSX is not related to that HSV product. So the time its taken to bring the NSX out doesn't seem that long if you realize that.
