I've got a soft spot for Hondas, but...

FT-1
NSX
<big gap>
Nissan 2020

The Nissan is just so ugly, and looks like the visibility will be awful.

NSX is great looking and will be faster, but for me it is FMR layout, so FT1.

FT1 gets my vote. NSX already looks dated.

I chose the FT-1. However, I'm jut glad our hopes of a Supra and NSX return is being fulfilled. Plus, Nissan probably continuing another GT-R successor instead of dropping the ball instead making money making boring cars. Makes me wanna cry.....They care about us! They really do!

NSX. 1) probably going to be built in Ohio (if our backwater-ass government doesn't screw it up) and 2) Strongly hinted it would be a hybrid. Green Supercars FTW!

The Nissan looks like it doesn't have a clear idea of what it wants to be. It's too scattered with no single design concept. The current GT-R is much closer to the original GT-R as far as design and heritage goes; this one is a jumbled mess.

The Acura is beautiful, but it could have come out in 2005 and looked just like that. Not what I would expect as the hot new concept car.

I like the Toyota best, personally. I like the Formula 1-esque front end, and I like that the long hood reminds me of the Supra. From every angle, it looks like something special. The Acura looks like a middle of the road sportscar that a dentist would drive to work and the Nissan looks like an abstract artist's concept of what a car should look like. On acid.

The Nissan will turn heads but the look might get old fast.
The Toyota has a penis nose.
The NSX has that classic supercar look.
NSX it is

Is it bad that I really don't like any of them?

I like the FT1 from the A-pillar back. I don't care for anything else among the 3.

1. Honda has already confirm it will be built in the US.

2. Honda has already confirm it will be AWD hybrid.

and lastly Honda has said the new NSX will cost more than the current $100k R35 GT-R.

Lol I just feel like they're so far off from what I would personally picture them to be.

Nissan: I've fond of the R32 and R34, not so much the 33. Most people agree to like those the best. The newer GTR is cool and I like the way it looks but I don't know if I would call it "attractive". It's aggressive and looks cool but it doesn't have the same visual presence as the older ones. This new concept though is just too much of a radical design for me. It's co complex and busy that it doesn't even look like a car. It seems as though Nissan believes that so long as they keep the same tail lights, it automatically looks like a GTR, and I don't believe that. It should look like a modern day Japanese coupe, not what a car in Japan might look like in another 20 years.

Acura: It just doesn't strike me as an NSX. It looks like something a different car maker would have made. I think the early 90s model is the best and it still looks great to this day. I'm all for updating it so it doesn't look so aged but it's just crazy to see how much they don't even look alike. I figured there would be more styling cues from the last model, but there isn't.

Toyota: it not bad at all but from the a-pillar forward, I can't get into it. Personally, I hate the look of the headlights and front bumper design. The front fenders are ok, but they feel out of place on that car. Like they were just drag and dropped from a different design.


If I had to choose one from the three, it would be the Toyota.
