- Limited production
- Titanium and magnesium materials required, as well as Carbon Composite monocoque sandwich chassis
- 7-Speed SMG transmission
- It has to be at least partially hand-made, just like the previous gen.
- Cutting-edge super detailed, super duper high quality interior, just like previous gen
Those don't go along with this.

I had to see this story on here because the same article posted on NSX Prime hardly got a response at all. That's how many times Honda has cried wolf - even the faithful don't believe.

In fact, check out the subforum name: Second Generation NSX / HSC / Unicorn Discussion

Sad, isn't it?

I bet it'll either have the 3.5 from the Accord or the 3.7 from the TL. Mark my word.

Like most of you, I'll believe it when I see it.

I'm leaning toward disbelief but on the slight chance it happens, it needs to be priced under 200K to be successful.
