actually there are a group of nsx owners who feel quite "violated" about the new generation, thinking the car doesn't "represent" the nsx name and theirs were purer. i kind of expect that though given the posts i read before. it's an interesting car, there are some insane die hard fans

My wife doesn't care too much about this one.. I told her about the hybrid part, showed her a picture a while ago and she thought the looked like it was trying to be a Corvette.
Another odd pricing thing is that the solid color all leather seats are priced $1k higher than the two tone leather and Alcantara ones. I believe other manufacturers charge more for two tone with Alcantara.

There are off and on rumors there will be a non hybrid lighter NSX but I doubt it will have a manual, I think a Type R and convertible version will come out before that too.
I think some of those current NSX owners, especially ones that bought it used for under $50K, complaining a lot about the new NSX just can't afford it and are looking for something to bash the car for like it is not as "pure", too heavy, sound not as intoxicating when it really boils down to how expensive it is and it is out of their price range.
I love both versions of the car, they are different but special in their own ways, if price was no object I would take the new NSX any day over the original, wish I could afford a $155,000+ super car but I am not going to bash it because I can't. Even though it is a high price it still seems like a bargain compared to what you get and what other cars cost with similar performance/styling.

Are those that complain the loudest about the no stick shift option anymore(auto journalists) actually going to buy a lighter stick shift NSX without the hybrid hardware for 120K or 130K? Doubt it, they can't afford it, they just love using a manual and listening to a loud engine for the hour or 2 they get to thrash a super car they don't own or could afford to buy.

on the gen1 nsx owners, i think it's pretty extremely. no doubt there are handful of trash cars out there and there are owners who are stretching themselves to just afford a 20-30k nsx on a loan. but from what i see, quite a portion of the owners, especially, 2000+ are well into the group where owning the nsx doesn't really affect their lifestyle a bit.
i can't say for sure, but if a gen2 nsx with no hybrid, say pushing 400hp, and stick shift, maybe it opens up things more.

wow, the jay's garage video not only shows how great looking the car is, but also shows how great looking the car's lead designer is.
