I think it's well rated, just unsold. In BC, where this test drive was done, you can tack on another 25% tax. 20% PST in this price bracket and 5% GST. So a $227,000 car turns into a $283,750 car. That's a tough sell for a Honda. Buy and register in Alberta and save $45k.

if the badge said McLaren audi or porshe the "critics" would be raving about it....its an amazing andvanced machine.

@@OMGWTFLOLSMH It is not well-rated overall. I've heard many people criticize it

@@jamespatterson2002 I agree

I think the problem is it's just too expensive. Every Honda enthusiast, like myself, can't even come close to affording this car and we're the only ones that want it. My own uncle bought a 2019 GT3 RS over this. I prefer he bought this NSX but the Porsche was a smarter buy.

Same, thought the NSX was DOHC. Pretty sure it hits Vtec tho

Wowww your knowledge of NSX is incredible

Definitely not the same engine as the MDX, NSX has a 90 degree V6 and the MDX and all other Honda/Acura V6 are 60 degree. Only thing in common between the 2 is that both are 3.5L displacement.

Yep, the estimated cost for the motor alone has been reported as close to $70K USD

@@jonathanfoulkes6381 One guy on the nsx forum was quoted 90k on a new engine, as installation costs a lot as well. The engine blew because of tuning, and the car warranty was voided.

not bad... but rich people don't buy.. mid engine super can sport car are very hard market to sell...10k possible 15k too hard... most those car part are honda stock part so the only reason why it expensive is honda just want to charged too much... Acura waitting area are too shit for customer who paid 15k+ car.... they will not catch dead in dealership....

campkira English is not to your thing is it

@@campkira yes and being a Honda all of its parts will have the minimum failure rate. Only Toyota and Honda spec their parts to such a high quality and failure rate. So you get a sophisticated technically advanced every day supercar. Oh, it also does not have stock Honda parts in alot of key areas. This would keep going when other supercars will fail. Nice to be different too.

Brawndo what did you do for a living

@@EmpowerUsTV Various domains, I won't dox myself, in IT. real estate and stocks mostly.

Yep, along with the transmission. only shared parts are seen in interior

75 degree

oh yeah!!!

Agreed. In true Chevy fashion, the C8 will get redesigned every year until the c9, and then they'll have the Grand Sport, Zr1, Z06, Z07, bdhshduebjskwmm12 and then the C9 will come out. This NSX.. mint... Just too bad it's so expensive

nothing wrong with the look just the price...

Agreed. I saw the c8 in person at the auto show and the front end of that car looks a little wonky.

The C8 is an ugly, messy design. The NSX is one of the most beautiful designs in the industry. Not sure why there are so many haters.

If buy an exotic supercar and are concerned about fuel efficiency, buy something else

@@85corolla SMH. The point of that comment was to emphasize a "perk" that it's has over it's rivals. Most people who have driven exotic cars will tell you that they usual aren't so comfortable...but you don't buy them for comfort...right? But if you could get comfort and the performance why wouldn't you? The whole entire concept of the NSX (both generations) was to combine "similar" exotic performance (speed, handling, etc) and everyday usability (which entails comfort, reliability and yes even fuel economy). So to your point most people who can afford high performance vehicles are aware of the "sacrifices" that come with these vehicles but I highly doubt they are opposed to getting more milage out of there cars. But hey...to each his or her own.

blackchang1981 I bought my fun cars because I like the looks, sportiness, motorsport history, driver connectivity, I can work on myself, and nostalgia. Comfort and mpg are the least on my mind. When I’m behind the wheels, I have a grin on my face and everything else doesn’t matter.

Me too!!!!!

While I enjoy the front in its current state, i'm sure they didn't do this because it is sold as a honda in everywhere but north america

And why?

Lo Ko cause you can get a brand new Corvette for $60k. Same reason the F Type SVR isn’t considered a Supercar just a sports car. If you can get a base model for $60k you’re never gonna be considered a super car

@@Vinnyboombotz So then by your logic the Zo6 which will come in at around $100k will be a supercar? I don't understand how a 495 hp mid engine car with a dual clutch transmission and exotic styling isn't considered a supercar.

Andrew McIntosh the Z06 will not be a Supercar because it is based on a common $60k car. Real supercars have a certain rarity to them that a corvette will never have

@@Vinnyboombotz The NSX is only rare because people aren't buying them. Honda was planning on selling thousands of them.

Could I drive it, am 205cm

@I kicks the living shit out of RWD R8? Well, it is a bit faster in acceleration, but not by much. And have you even read what the guy said? The R8 has a V10, that sounds way better and more exciting. And it is also more luxurious. Also, aren't you commenting on almost every nsx related videos and arguing with everyone that says negative things about it? 😐 Why are you doing this? 🤨

Not exactly. Acura already discounted the price and sales numbers still suck

85corolla, it’s in a (strange) super car, mid-range market niche. But this really has little to do with the car itself.

good. i hope it depreciates so I can but one in a few years.

That steering wheel! Ouch! No usable interior space, huge selector knob, cup holder in the glove box? Awesome seats though.

Prepare for LOTS of police lights behind you

@@judgmentday6761 hopefully I don't jinx myself🤞🤞🤞, bought a 2017 Tacoma and never installed my front plate. No issues yet

I see them occasionally here in the Silicon Valley area.

They fixed that after first or second year production, car came out as 2017 year, i think the 2018 had the ugly chrome, but 2019 and above for sure got it painted

Only you I guess.

I was given some bad info from someone at Acura Canada when I picked the car up. I repeated what I was told, I should have done my own research instead of repeating the employees claim.

This whole brake by wire thing is great when paired with the carbon ceramic breaks as well, as it releaves most of the weird feels associated with normal carbon ceramics.

Agree this should had been high reving NA v6 for under 70k, at 150k this has no chance to compete anymore with the new Corvette.. the aftermarket for the new vett is going to be crazy.

Well said

Look at the new vette, then look at this. look at the vetts wheels and brakes, even with the z51 pack , and you will see why it is cheaper. chevy even said they are loosing money on the base car at 60k, which none of them will actually be. All the dealers will option them up 80k to 95k. Plus, the vette is no exotic super car. And if the vette is like all the past ones, it will under perform, and never get those numbers unless with exact perfect conditions.

So to drive it it needs gas and an electric charge?

People who can afford better watches than SEIKO’s. Note: From a watch/car lover who mostly wears an SEIKO’s perfect SKX007. So... not me either.

I have many Swiss including the Rolex and Omega but I sold all of them except the Swiss made black Rado Sintra Ceramics mechanical automatic Chronometer Official Certified. The discovery of SEIKO has changed everything about my love for watches. Grand Seiko, Credor and Spring Drive rule! My SEIKO Spring Drive SNR005 is 15 Years old requires absolutely zero maintenance and still stays accurate to +\- 2 seconds per month. I got very frustrated with Rolex and Omega because they are very expensive, require expensive maintenance and don’t run very accurately even they are Chronometer Official Certified but still vary anywhere between 4-6 seconds per DAY, yuck!🤢 My SEIKO Kinetic Auto Relay SMA033 water resistance to 200M (660 ft) has been running accurately for 21 years without any issue and zero maintenance because it has a tiny AC alternator that charges the lithium ion cell via AC to DC converter circuit. Slightest wrist movements will create energy to charge the power cell. I’m storage, the watch goes to sleep mode to conserve energy up to 4 years and would wake up when detects movements and resume current time. Swiss watches are overrated, overpriced and they are very sheety 🤢 My ultimate dream SEIKO is the CREDOR MINUTE REPEATER SPRING DRIVE GBLS998. it isn’t cheap but it’s worth every penny. GBLS998 is the King of all wristwatches.

Victor Hugo, I believe it starts @ around $157.5k.

In Canada $192500 MSRP !

There are big discounts on the NSX. Maybe at the beginning when they first came out. But no one pays full retail for this car.

before tax.....

Indeed, the vette looks like a cheapo NSX, to me at least.

Maybe.....looks are subjective, different strokes for different folks. Fact: the 100k the C8 owner saves vs buying this thing will buy alot of fuel, tires and track days. All while seeing you in their rear view mirror

@@philipdimakis8414 If they see you in their mirror means they are matching your track speed..

@I the car will be faster though. It has much better power/weight ratio. Yes, in launch start it will lose. But it will win in everything else, including a rolling race. :P

yeah it cost too much.... the battery and e motor too weak...so it about the same speed as GTR may save 10-20% of fuel but the manual labor cost more since it take longer time to service...

When you optioned the current 992 Carrera4S to match what NSX has, it is almost the same price as a NSX and doesn’t have the same performance as NSX. Porsche maintenance is more expensive than Acura.

@@campkira your English is very poor, and or you put no effort into your comments. Battery is just to help with acceleration alongside the turbos which will always carry some lag. It is faster than a gtr, and nobody cares about fuel economy if you have this car. The battery is not to make it a prius with great fuel econemy, and not to be like an all electric tesla

That's because it weights over 700 less than the nsx

For demo purpose only...

If the grille is not body colored and this example isn't, then it's 2018 or earlier. Another example of this reviewer being so pathetic. Posting a video of an NSX, years after it's come on. At least go to a dealer to get footage from the latest NSX that's out at this time.

The only difference is the chrome strip on the front. This was the only car Acura had for me to drive.

@@Motormouth... I owned an 18 and now a 20. Much difference between the two besides the chrome strip. Front and rear sway bars are different plus the suspension has been tighten..Also went to a better tire.

Note: My wife doesn’t read/follow/care about my automotive comments.

Wait, what? 😂

I said in my comment they should have retired the car 6 months after it's release.

Is the c8 hand assembled with bespoke power train?

@@iforyou It goes further than that with a robotic process that ensures exact replicas. The cars you speak of are not even able to be daily driven for the most part, and in the case of McLaren are spotty on reliability. Times change, and of course there will be video game cars that no one in large manufacturing will produce. GM has embarked on a slaughter of the high performance car market outright. If you still lust after Tributos or Lambos then it simply is for a name only. A base model C8 outperforms a 458 in everyday real world driving by such a large measure that Ferraris are looking like KIT CARS.

@@iforyou The NSX is the slowest supercar on the market. So would you rather have a car where the interior looks like a 2 seater Accord or a car that looks like an budget Italian exotic with an extra $100k in the bank?

@@iforyou The NSX 0-60 was unofficially 3.2S. The had to modify the 2020 car (Front aero, mapping and suspension) to reduce this time to 2.8. They could not have a $160k base NSX have the same time as a $60K C8.

Shaun Mathew it’s way worse on 570S

Of course you do

@@dlozza2000 care to elaborate?

The supra is basically still the same platform as older supra, but better. This nsx is not the same platform as older nsx and worse..

Dandre Davis corvette is a mass produced car 1000s get built the NSX was never a mass produced car

I meant affordable and outperforms the competition

@I Get out of your bubble and face the reality. Your car isn't and never will be as fast as you think. Claiming it has the fastest 0-60 time is just laughable to anyone that knows at least something about cars. 1st gen was fast for it's time, mainly with Type R and S versions, that you always seem to be forgetting about. Seriously, when the fuck will you stop commenting on literally every NSX related videos and acting like a biased 12 year old kid? Can you just enjoy your fucking car and stop this?

Mike Davidson the NSX would need to have a regular old V6 for it to ever be near $80k. The technology alone immediately puts it over $100k. The original NSX with inflation included was well over $100k so a faster nicer and way more technological car would never cost less than the original

Mike Davidson the original base NSX in 1994 cost $75k which is $127k in today’s money for a manual and a naturally aspirated V6. $157k for twin turbo and 3 electric motors seems fair enough compared to a base R8 that starts at $170k with less performance
