The Honda NSX (or Acura NSX if you prefer) was one of the most loved cars over it's 15year reign at the top. We drive three of incarnations of this Japanese mid engined supercar.

One of my fav cars of all time. But i don't like that the NSX of 2002 doesn't have the pop-up lights, it loses personality without them.

The NSX has always been my dream car. Since I first saw one in the Acura showroom in 1994 I was in love. I would have actually taken it over any other car back then. It's crazy how they are going up in value and I do wish i would have bought one when they were at their lowest in value. I do remember seeing them for sale in the high 20's low 30's. Now you probably can't find one for under 50 000$ or more. It is still a beautiful car in my opinion with a timeless design.

There's just something really unexciting about the 2017 NSX.Im sure it'll be fast, and the flappy paddle 9-speed will be flawless, but will it have the same sort of spirit as the first generation? I'm guessing no, but I'll reserve judgement for the reviews. It just seems like all new supers cars are the same machines, in different skin, with no personality.

+mojostevo Agree, they are all so good nowadays that it's almost boring, back in the 90s you had something like the NSX that wasn't as powerful as a C5 Corvette but was much more delicate and better handling. Like neither were perfect but that made battles between such cars more interesting as one would have an advantage on the straights, the other in the corners etc.

+mojostevo i think Honda wont screw this up. Japanese have a thing for rebooting cars. by the time the GTR came along, everyone was like. ouuu will it be any good, just look at it now. A legend the AE 86 was said to get a reboot years later, and everyone was like:oh nno, it will have a trillion BHP and will be fat. Look at it now ;) I think Honda will make a brilliant car, whicch stays true to its roots, as the GT and the GT86 do

Hanzo Low I'm not saying it won't be any good, I'm just suspecting it won't have any character. The GTR is a great car, but it has no soul. Some tech ages well, and some doesn't. I think in 20 years, the GTR is going to feel old, and not in a nostolgic way, but in a first Gen iMac way. SydneyCBR6 said it perfectly: " they are all so good nowadays that it's almost boring". I think Porsche is going in the right direction with future offerings back-to-basics enthusiast models. Light, and driver-centric, with manual gearbox options.

It’s amazing how so many people on these NSX videos don’t mention a key historical fact. At the time, Japan had a HP restriction by law hence the low HP. So what Honda decided to do is focus all its engineering on the handling and that’s where it competes with other super cars of its era.

Amazing that an NSX review actually used an automatic version. Also it is unclear that while he is giving his impression of driving the red/auto car that he is aware that the auto's had less hp than the manuals. So although the auto's have the "same" 3.0 engine they had different cams, a lower redline (7,500 vs 8,000 on the manuals), and less hp (252 vs 270 on the manuals).

New information for me, 7500 redline. Was that because it was a automatic? I know that the automatic had 20 less HP and came with electric power steering. I bought a ‘91 a few years ago, had to wait 22 years to afford one. The original owner paid 83K, 23K over list (22nd one in the US). Crazy $$ at the time. Have the NSX cell phone, looks like a home wall phone.
