Does anyone else think it looks similar to the i8??

CAPSGOD · 01-09-2012, 08:46 PM

The i8, McLaren MP4, R8, NSX.. they all look similar

Looks better. Still prefer the R8 tho.

Kinda reminds me of the Lotus Elan Concept.

Yep. And all look uninspired.

Year's_End · 01-09-2012, 10:26 PM

The i8 is anything but uninspired.

This looks so underwhelming it makes me want to fall asleep.

VinnieAces · 01-09-2012, 11:28 PM

looks most like the R8 imo

hks786 · 01-10-2012, 07:15 AM

I dunno. I'd be lying if I said I didn't like it but it looks very generic. Without badges this could easily be a Lotus concept or some unknown manufacturer. It has no links at all with the original NSX. I know the NSX is dated but I still love it. This looks good but not as a NSX replacement. It looks like BMW i8/Lotus/Maclaren MP4

MediaArtist · 01-10-2012, 11:48 AM

Needs more intakes/vents.

DieselDiner · 01-10-2012, 12:17 PM

They managed to fit the godawful Acura grill metal onto the car. Ugh.

Exactly what I was thinking.

+1 they should've stuck with the Honda HSC concept

aestheticstorm · 01-10-2012, 02:46 PM

I've never liked the Acura "crease" on the rear bumper either. Can't tell if it's coming or going.

135i OREO · 01-10-2012, 03:17 PM

I'd still bang it

Hurricane · 01-10-2012, 03:22 PM

It looks like an R8 crashed into a RL. It's kind of hideous.

UltimateBMW · 01-10-2012, 04:34 PM

meh.

TimZ · 01-11-2012, 02:25 AM

A NSX hybrid......

Levi · 01-11-2012, 06:10 AM

I like it better than the R8 and the Gallardo, though in shape/proportions Audi R8, Lamborghini Gallardo, McLaren MP4-12C, Lotus Espirt, BMW i8 and Honda NSX are all the same.

The BMW i8 is also a BMW M1 Hybrid. The i8 compared to the NSX is a 2+2, and has the same power but with a TU 1.6l I4 compared to the NA 3.7l V6 in the NSX. NSX sounds more sporty than i8.

KingOfJericho · 01-11-2012, 08:01 AM

Looks A LOT like the R8. That's not a bad thing.

ragingclue · 01-11-2012, 08:50 AM

Nobody would ever mistake the original NSX for anything else. This one just seems to have a lot less uniqueness about it. However, I hope it delivers in performance to deserve the moniker.

Crimson92 · 01-11-2012, 03:23 PM

hmmm, dont really like.

doesnt have the drama the original nsx had.

I bet a lot of people would think they were Ferraris. An enthusiast wouldn't mix it up, but there are a bunch of people that would think an NSX was a highly modified 6th gen Accord Coupe. . .
