$200,000 USD?!!!

How are these selling compared to other "poorfag supercars" like the Huracan, 570S, R8, GT-R and 488 GTB? It doesn't really have anything to offer over them.

Both nsx's that were sold at my dealership were traded in a month later for an amg Mercedes and a McLaren.
How did they fuck this up?

I don't think the actual car is bad, but the price point kills it. There just isn't even reason to buy it when you can get another halo car that's cheaper and actually better.

>>17310457
>200k

You aren't even scratching the surface of dealer markup anon-kun

>>17310711
I'm starting to believe the NSX wasn't taken seriously and was really just a platform to research the hybrid powertrain. Must be a better car in the cards for the future maybe.

>>17310735
Hybrid technology should not be used in sports cars. It adds too much unnecessary weight and chances for the tech to fail. If they had just kept it a biturbo v6 with awd and a manual transmission option, it would have been a hit.

>>17310754
Its used in endurance racers and the hyper cars.

Its the way forward and GM trademarked the name "E-ray" for a reason.

Wasn't the price point of the original NSX like 70K?

>>17310766

No one bought the damn thing, and everyone who did was extremely dissatisfied with the driving experience.

Good god even the Viper sold better than this

>>17310767
The original NSX was closer to 100k accounting for inflation. Still, it was a car that had something to offer: the performance and aesthetics of a Ferrari but with the reliability of a Honda Accord at a more reasonable price. It wasn't all that fast, but was all around a great and perfectly balanced drivers car.

The new NSX has nothing to offer. It's a car that would have made an impact 5 years ago, but as of now it's the Duke Nukem Forever of cars.

>>17310794
>The original NSX was closer to 100k accounting for inflation.
so about half the price and competing with cars that were roughly as good
not being a quarter of a million dollars and pretending to be a ferrari

>>17310767
A mid engine Honda v8 from two i4s would be beautiful, I really would buy that.

>>17310790
Have you ever driven one?
I'm assuming you haven't. I know several people who actually have driven it, and have said it was awful and slushy. Im talking about the consumer version of the car, not the track spec prototypes. One guy I knew who bought it had to bring it back cause the suspension position sensor was incorrectly installed at the factory, and was scraping on the inside of the rim.
The car is a bust, Honda tried too hard to make this car.

>>17310802
Two K24's joined at the crank would be one hell of an engine.

it looks like sales are picking up some steam instead of dying down. they sold more in April of this year than they did 3-4 months combined last year.

>The new NSX has nothing to offer
Other than being the only non-limited hybrid sports car in its class. i don't really think 100k for C4 corvette performance was reasonable either especially when m3s came along a few years later and were faster on top of being more practical and cheaper. they were also rated a better "driver's car" btw (insert BMW's best handling car in America and several other's that look like they should) (NSX being one of them)
>>17310799
MSRP to MSRP is 150,000 for the new one. dealer markups shouldn't be counted much like the Focus RS and GT350.

>>17310808
>I know several people who actually have driven it
And several more can easily be found on the internet most recently Doug who said it had the best ride in class and said nothing of the sort in being sluggish.

>>17310754
>Hybrid technology should not be used in sports cars

I agree. It should only be used in supercars.

slower 0-60 than a Tesla
slower laptimes than Corvette/GT-R for $50,000 more

I don't know who they were trying to target with this car.

>>17312304
>I don't know who they were trying to target with this car.

the most obvious target to me by far is badgewhores but that is pretty audacious for Acura

literally who?

>>17312304
Not necessarily benchracers.

I think about the NewSX to motivate me but nobody talks about the damn car. Nobody has driven it, nobody has seen it. The only person that has vouched for it is James May and while Richard Clarkson ripped on it for everything we rip on it, he just said it's a brilliant car just like the OG and that was it. I want to love it but this more Acura than Honda.

I like to build them on the website and it's a beautiful car but the floor mats are $1200, the illuminated door sills are $1500, the trunk net is $50, the charger to keep your battery charged in case you don't drive it in a while is like $600. It's a luxury car but you have to pay extra to get the actual luxuries, power seats aren't even standard. Comes standard with shitty brakes instead of what you would really put in a supercar

>>17312405
>muh american reviewer tests!
lmao

>>17312515
>the trunk net is $50
The other options are silly priced, but this is normal for manufacturer accessories now.

>>17312515
Plus you can't even get the car without the premium Brembo set of brakes.

>>17312581
2017 NSX is an American car though...................................

>>17310483
>It doesn't really have anything to offer over them
It's probably a match as far as performance goes, but I thought the whole selling point of the new NSX was that it was a performance-oriented hybrid. Obviously a stupid thing to price it at $200k but how much cheaper is it next to hybrid supercars?

>>17310483
Only argument i can think of for the NSX (and also the BMW i8) is that being early adapters of the high-tier hybrid sports car space gives them an edge in tech & the market

Of course, except the i8 is legitimately cool and no one asked for a hybrid NSX

>>17312938
early adopter of cutting edge technology usually means it will soon be outdated

>>17310457
200k for a honda hybrid?

>>17312365
>cherrypicked laptimes

>it was slower than a 3000gt
No it wasn't you lying cunt, even with 2 turbos and 10 more bhp, because it was heavier than a fucking freight train.
