NSX stand was dead at the show today. It's ok. Engine cover and front fascia are really bad. Can't believe they couldn't come up with better solution for those. Rest is pretty good. Paint was absolutely gorgeous.

Seems like a formidable value proposition to me at $155K - performance hybrid. You'll certainly appreciate the sound from its' 75 degree V6TT. From a styling perspective, not in the league of the new Ford GT, having fairly simple body shapes - but they did add some feature lines/well placed detail to add interest.

Agree on the engine cover, quite the afterthought and a big 'miss'. In addition to the fact that your eye is drawn right to it, it also happens to be a 'lid' for the 'crown jewel' in Honda's world. Fortunately it's easy to fix, aftermarket can get that done.

A bit surprised on tire selection - Continentals. I can get those changed out pretty quick tho.

I think they did a great job on an affordable homologation tool for their LMP1 car.

Red or black. Thinking about a Gulf Heritage wrap to confuse attendees at Rally X. ;-))

I hope the car is better than this year's episodes of Comedians in cars getting Coffee. Dreadful by comparison to previous

New generation of comedians are a little lost in translation.

The Daytona episode was painful

You guys might get a kick out of this pic, I had to search through my photos to find it.
This is my GT "standing in" for the new NSX last year some time. The side view mirrors are the exact same height. So I drove around Los Angeles while production and camera car followed me. Later to insert the NSX digitally:facepalm:
