The looks are very generic and uninspiring, although it looks a lot better in person. But yeah they should have focused on promoting the in-gear times rather than the usual 0-60 etc, to highlight the benefits of the hybrid drivetrain. I think hybrids are also pretty much impossible to tune/upgrade.

Had the NSX (modified to meet the price point) cost close to the Corvette price I would have been very tempted because I've always liked the NSX for a lot of the same reasons I like the Corvette (semi-exotic, great performance, can be daily driven without worries). In the end, Honda didn't really want to be in the sports car business, so they followed the Ford model instead. Create a top of the line car just so they show they can, but not really want to make enough of them to make it a sustainable product line.

Very well stated, and based on the evidence, 100% true.

Quality is not cheap, and cheap is not quality.

In general, sure. But's it's overweight and only has 2 pedals. 2 reasons I'd never consider one even if they ever did depreciate into my price range.
