You keep making me jealous every time you post pictures of yours.

First new NSX I saw on the road was white, it was stunning.

The new beak is not bad on the MDX, in person. It doesnt work well on the sedan, at all. I'm sure Honda and Acura loyalists will still buy it, but won't attract any new customers.

The internet will gripe about anything that isn't a 900+ HP V10 available for under $500

LOL, vast majority attacking it could not afford to buy one, many of the complainers are complaining it is not just like a Ferrari 488 but if I was a buyer or owner I would be glad it is not like the Ferrari once the shocking maintenance bills and repairs start to pile up plus I doubt the 488 is something you want to drive every day in traffic, I am sure the McLaren's are not much different in that regard or could be worse. I still think the new NSX is better looking then its main competitors including the 488 and likely has more potential for more affordable performance upgrades if owners want more power.

Also a good time to be a buyer in the market, as prices are stable at sticker or below. Hypercar tech but supercar price.
