Their blind head of design Jon Ikeda is talking now about the

Wow he said "its no boy racer" and is trying to position it away from the RSX/Integra crowd. Shame.

Lol "we are not positioning it as a technology vehicle"

Its not bad at all, GS C-pillar, Civic tails, beak...

NSX,

Omg they are still blaming the economic crisis...

A vehicle that is closely based on this NSX Concept will come to market within three years on a global basis.

And Lexus just clobbered them again with the LF LC...the NSX is underwhelming, looks FWD...smh

Gets a mid engine V-6 and hybrid and SHAWD

NSX will be built in OHIO!!!! Made by R&D team in the USA

So it will likely be Accord based as some rumors said before. Wow.

Mid-engined! Good to hear. Styling looks much better than the Avenger IMHO.

ILX is pretty ugly. RDX is about what I expected.

Front end of the NSX is butchered, but the rest of it looks pretty trick. It kind of has a Ferrari meets Lambo vibe to it. Being 3 years out on production...not so good.

i don't get the point of showing a car if it's 3 years away. just tip off all the competitors.

It's too far away, by then everyone will forget about it..

Rear quarter panel is a little chunky, I can't even see the side scoop

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?
