With minor revisions to the front end, this thing will be SICK 
Lexus and Nissan went through several different concepts over a decade before delivering the LFA and GTR, so maybe in the grand scheme of things, 3 years for a new NSX is not that bad? If they keep showing off updated concepts and showing people that they're making strides, it might not be that bad.
(Poor RDX in the background looks HOMELY)

didn't see someone calling it a unicorn, but i'm sure there was one. in reading this thread i'd say reactions were mixed. http://nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php?t=156566
those who despise anything not made in japan gave predictable responses and some other cheap shots, but there's some positive comments too.
i think it looks good, but so far away, who cares?

Its handsome at least. As usual the numbers are great but nothing that will blow away the competition. Typical Acura. Also why are they showing a car that will not be here for 3 years.

People at McLaren might want to check out how to design mid-engine sports car by looking at this.
Who would know that the stupid beak finally found its place on NSX nevertheless

It is as if Toyota announced Supra... in 2014. I mean great... but call me up in 2 years.

Well the development of the LFA took 10 years to come to fruition and the first concept was shown in the sixth year with no commitment to production. I'd say a commitment to production of the NSX in 3 years is pretty good.

What is blowing away the competition? 600hp? 800hp? 2600lbs? This NSX is supposed to be somewhat attainable, if it has hp numbers/extreme low weight to blow away the competition it will not come close to being attainable and will just be another really expensive low volume fantasy car you will never see in public and can only gawk at pictures/specs unless you win the lottery.
