Overall shape is good, but I'm not sure about the grille and I predict that aftermarket headlights will be popular. The row of clearly visible individual LEDs makes the headlights seem way too wide from the front.

My god, so will it actually be built finally......I know some of the people that were on the waiting list have been really impatient.

Whoa this is not like the original NSX. Loaded with high-tech goodies, not a purist's car, about 2x the price

Looks like they're trying to compete with the BMW i8...this should be faster but the i8 is much better looking and has more "snob appeal."

I'm liking this. It kinda looks "corvetty" from the 3/4 view. I hope that the techy goodies improve the car, instead of holding it back.

I loved the simplicity of the first one. Time to start collecting bottles and selling blood again.....

Seriously, whoever came up with Acura's chrome beak needs to be fired.

Those aren't the LEDs you see, those are the plastic projector lens that are infront of the LEDs.

ALSO. I REALLY like the look of this, better than the new ford GT even.

"Up front, the concept’s chunky, five-block headlamps have been replaced by skinny rows of six LEDs underscored by an even thinner strip of LED DRLs, while redesigned ducts and filaments within the fascia have rendered Acura’s much-maligned “power plenum” grille treatment to a mere chrome strip. "

Agreed - just nasty. And then you look at the new Ford GT, and see how it's done.

I work in automotive lighting, they work in automotive reporting. I'm just being picky specific.

Who's actually asking for this? $150k for a Honda? With that front end styling? I think I'd rather have the original, restored, with some kind of power-adder to the V6. Like a nice big Roots blower that makes nice whiny racket (much like this post I'm writing...).

This looks like such a me-too effort. Meh.

Looks like a collection of derivative styling elements to me. It's got a Mazda smiling front end, the usual stupid Acura beak, Audi R8 sides, C7 Corvette or Camaro brake lights, Ferrari rear window/see through engine cover. This does nothing for me. The new Ford GT is much better looking to my eye. I'd rather have an original NSX than this one.

They're chasing the R8, McLaren 12c, 911, crowd. Not a car for track guys, but an everyday "look at me!" car in much the same way the original NSX was.

The taillights look more like Aston Martin to me:

Although they're also a bit like these:

They don't look anything like a C7's though

My god how much that looks like the Dinka Jester on GTA.

I wish I liked this, but to me it looks like the Lexus designer has been moonlighting for Acura. And still the shiny beak...

Damn you're not kidding!

I prefer the look of the Jester though!

Edit: It was based on the NSX concept though...

I know it was based off the concept, so that kinda shows how close Honda kept it to the concept.
