Hahahahaha!

I read the comments after that article.

"V-TEC JUST KICKED IN YO!!!

Where are the meme-makers? :-)

Having said that, I AM genuinely excited about these cars. Especially the new S660 and S2000.

I lost all hope back when they announced "Hybrid" and "All Wheel Drive".

Meh, 100k+ cars...I really don't think the market needs more "everyday supercar"s.

I'll bet the Audi R8 does absolutely everything better, from performance to daily drivability. Plus it comes with a manual (doubt the NSX will).

We'll see how it actually goes, but they are entering into a tough segment with the likes of the 991, C7, GTR, R8, etc...

I'm interested to see how Honda does. They've been fumbling around the past few years, but the new NSX is supposed to mark their return to their performance heritage. I have no doubt they'll pour their hearts and souls into this one, but the only question is, does Honda still have what it takes?

Dude?
Did you really just use the term "daily drivability" with that list of cars?

I did, people who buy cars like that generally care about 2 things. How fast they are in magazines and how comfortable they are to drive. I wouldn't hesitate to say that an R8 or 991 makes a more comfortable daily driver than my FR-S.

I hope they bring some of their real engineers over from the bike side. Honda makes some wonderful 2 wheeled machines.

Keep in mind what Honda did with the S2000. It literally murdered everything in its class.

Original NSX was a spectacular shock as well.

They have the ability without question.

But it's a matter of if they have the balls these days.

I'm dreading this is an accountant-led, committee and focus group design. Shudder...

C7s are. 911s are also now that the motors are significantly improved. Don't know about the R8 or GTR.. maybe GTR without using launch control is fine. I haven't seen any of those break on the track except for one highly modified GTR.
