I'm talking about Skyline R34, but I don't mind R35 either. :P If Toyota makes Supra MkV, it will replace my WRX, and I get "most likely" a used Focus RS in addition. Too young for comfort. LOL
... GT-R? I think the R35 is fugly 
So R34 for me. Already have a MKIV, and would love to add FT-1 to the family.

I love both cars. Knowing what Honda is capable of, I'm really interested in picking up NSX. Maybe a used one a few years down the road. I love GT, it looks beautiful, it has a lot of hp, it should be a very capable car, but I'm not into that hardcore type of cars. I'm under impression that Honda will screw NSX buyers by making a more affordable sport car that can outperform NSX a few years down the road. S2000 runs around circle NSX despite the fact it's a FR.
On tracks with a lot of curves and few straight a ways the smaller lighter more balanced front mid engine S2000 is generally more nimble then a NSX but on tracks with longer straights the 6 speed 290hp NSX will still be able to beat a S2000 in most cases with its bigger engine, more hp, and torque.
As much as I like the more modern S2000 I still would never take it over a older NSX.

car looks great... as to the price and performance, who knows what their goals are.
It is probably not "too expensive", it is about same price as loaded i8, while being much more serious vehicle with over 550hp.
Now, with Honda being pragmatic as Toyota, maybe they should have considered it being plugin hybrid with 15 mile range to beat CO2 emission tests/taxes as well as to gain some extra 60hp from larger battery.
Of course catch 22 is that Acura does not have brand cache to sell $150k car, but at the same time this is great way to build it.

but obviously acura got lost in a design and management snowstorm since then but seems to have found its way out.
