It does look a good bit different, but so does an Aventador and a Countach. Honda really nailed it with the early NSX though. That is a gorgeous car still and the only reason you can pin it as slightly dated are some of the styling cues from back in its era.

Funny anecdotal story - a coworker of mine came up to me the other day and said he saw one in a parking lot and started talking to the owner. The owner eventually told him it was for sale, "only thirty-five." The coworker then relays this to me and says "Man thirty-five hundred for that car is a great deal, if I had the cash I would've bought it." I laughed a little and said uh, no, you're missing a decimal place. He was shocked that they're still worth that much.

I really want to choose the FT-1, but I dislike the split/dual fascia design. The profile view is very very sexy though.

I'd go with the NSX at this point in time, though.

ft-1 for 2 reasons:

1: It is the most likely to every happen of the 3. We all know the NSX is perpetual vaporware.
2: Assuming the 3 came into purchasable existence, the FT-1 will most likely be the least complicated and most affordable and to me, that's more important.

I think the front end on FT1 looks better than the NSX.

The nissan is just fugly and they'll never make a car that looks anything like that.

The FT-1 and NSX are at least possible for production, except I'd be surprised if we saw either.

The NSX doesn't do anything for me, not now and not 5 years ago when they showed the exact same damn car.

I think nissan went for an extremely radical look, but the top view pic looks better. I don't know why, but I just like those smooth FT-1 curves. Hate both the Nissan and NSX rims (inversely similar to each other). FT-1 wheels remind me of the GT86 concept wheels.

Liking the NSX front best (best use of the latest grill logo in any Acura) but it went to Aventadorishhh for my taste

I'm not surprised by the results. On the other forums I posted in it has been the same.

Toyota > Honda > Nissan
