At the end of the day, it will be great to have the Unicorn back.

The NSX community won't admit it but they're being extra whiny because they won't be the special NSX anymore, they won't get the attention anymore because there is a newer, sexier, more exotic, higher performance NSX that everybody else wants to take photos of.

Simple case of jealousy.

Same will happen with the Supra community when that vehicle gets closer to the dealership lots.

NSX will be the best supercar, until Porsche rival come and new GT-R. And even then who knows?

Ok I 'll say it, the wheels don't look good on an exotic car like this but I would have to see them in person. $100k, maybe, $150k+ car, no.

Oh, and it needs the duckbill spoiler like the red ones that have been rolling around lately.

Press release from Acura providing some details regarding the specing of the 3 cars at Monterey

Looks like you can get a regular, CF or panorama roof

No details on the track package car yet

Interestingly they did confirm the car will be a built to order situation

Newer, though, does not always mean better. Often, the build-quality of older models is more solid. We'll have to wait and see if that is the case with the new Supra and NSX or not.

Holy crap this is terrible. That means people might not actually see the car at the dealer until next summer.

I have noticed this on NSXprime. Many owners criticizing it which sounds more out of jealousy and they just can't afford the new one then they really don't like it. By now many NSX owners don't have to be wealthy to own one as they can pick up good used ones for the price of a new MDX which means many current owners as most people can't afford to buy the new one but there is no reason to complain about it because of that. The original NSX is such a beautiful design and the fact that they are so well built and reliable that 15 years later with high miles they can still be daily driven without issues is great but the new one should be given credit that its performance and technology will be on a whole other level, it is a great looking design and that comes at a high price for something that can compete with a modern $250,000.00 Ferrari.
