Really cool and interesting article. As for the car itself, $200k+ for such an utterly uninspiring looking car is just ridiculous to me.

I don't mind the style,but much prefer the original. You could drive it down the road like a ferrari without the service headaches.

I'm a huge fan of the original ones. Sure they had way less power than this one, but they just looked drop dead sexy....like an exotic car was supposed to.

Absolutely, its still a head turner today! The window where these were affordable has unfortunately passed. A few years ago you could get a decent one for ~30g's.

Yeah, a good one is the best part of $100k

original is 100000% better than the new one? Know why? Because it looks like a supercar, and was a joy to drive. The new one...is a Prius on crack and looks like a plain ugly Acura coupe. Could be the new RSX for all we know.

A core element of supercar success is desirability, the "I feel 5 again" feeling. This new thing does nothing in that regard whatsoever.

Oh, I didn't know you had actually driven a new NSX in order to realize in person what you said.

I have not, note I did not talk about driving dynamics whatsoever. I know that reviewers have said the new NSX is stupid fast and hits corners faster than just about anything, but it looks like a boring Acura. Nothing special.

Wouldn't driving experience play into the 'I feel 5 again' feeling?  Isn't that what a good driving car is supposed to do?  I've heard nothing but great things about the way the new NSX drives.

it is more than just the drive - although that is very important I agree...but it is looks, it is the sound, the feeling of "specialness" - there is a reason why Ferrari and Lambo are top dogs in this regard

Nobody remembers how badly the original NSX got panned for its uninspiring styling? I do, what didn’t do well in the eyes of the critics back then stood the test of time and looks pretty good today. I don’t mind the new NSX.
