Honda's 300 HP Hybrid "Baby NSX" On Track For 2018 - Will You Be An Earlier Adopter Or A Wait And See?

The new NSX, with its nearly decade-long hype parade, and still a no-show in showrooms, has inspired me to chuck a great big "whatever" at Acura. Wake me when they actually have something to sell, and not just talk about it for ages.

TheSteve I totally agree with you, I really want to see the NSX but as you said ....Whatever Acura..

2018? C'mon Honda, you should have this out for the public to consume by the end of 2016, early 2017 at the latest.

Somehow, even at 1.5l, I still see this car costing over $60k.

TheSteve I totally agree with you, I really want to see the NSX but as you said ....Whatever Acura..

Is it going to be also designed and engineered in the U.S.? Just like how the NSX, Civic and the R36 GT-R are being designed and engineered by the Americans and the Europeans? Just wondering.

It could be design by a person that never seen a automobile in their life...i would still buy it over any POS design by a GM engineer. GM engineers are really good at engineering death traps.

I hear GM is designing the new electric chairs.

It's sad how Honda went from best-in-class engines and driving dynamics for everyday cars in the early 90's, topped off by the game changing NSX at the top end, to today with impeccable averageness and a decade of not producing show car versions of NSX2. I will continue yawning until they actually begin again producing. Whatever.

Well, you can't really blame them, honestly. Japanese engineering is practically now dead, and no one really cares about Japanese sports/super cars.

Dead like the 200+ people GM killed and thousands injured.

DON'T BUY GM CARS....ONLY WAY TO STOP GM FROM KILLING MORE.

James, did you just get tired of the fake account? What's wrong, you don't want to be my friend?

And my brother. You should answer me some questions on those things.

"More Japanese school pupils commit suicide on September 1 each year than on any other date, according to figures collated by Japan's suicide prevention office over a period of more than 40 years.

The grim spike in the statistics is linked to the typical start date of the new school term after the summer holiday has ended.

"The long break from school enables you to stay at home, so it's heaven for those who are bullied," Nanae said. "When summer ends, you have to go back. And once you start worrying about getting bullied, committing suicide might be possible.""

"Nanae thinks the Japanese education system's focus on collective thinking is at the root cause of the problem."

"Japan revisionists deny WW2 sex slave atrocities"

" "As a defeated nation we only teach the history forced on us by the victors," he says. "To be an independent nation again we must move away from the history imposed on us. We should take back our true history that we can be proud of."

In this "true" history of the 20th Century that Mr Tamogami talks of, Japan was not the aggressor, but the liberator. Japanese soldiers fought valiantly to expel the hated white imperialists who had subjugated Asian peoples for 200 years.

It is a proud history, where Japan, alone in Asia, was capable of taking on and defeating the European oppressors. It is also a version of history that has no room for the Japanese committing atrocities against fellow Asians.

Mr Tamogami believes that Japan did not invade the Korean Peninsula, but rather "invested in Korea and also in Taiwan and Manchuria"."

"Fukushima2020? Disaster-stricken area hopes to host Tokyo Olympic events

The president of the Japanese Olympic Committee further attempted to assuage fears by saying the radiation level in Tokyo was “the same” as in other major global capitals such as London, New York and Paris.

But Mitsuhei Murata, a former Japanese ambassador to Switzerland, said it was “immoral” to invite people to the Olympic Games in Japan, saying “the health environment cannot be secured,” the UK Independent cited him as saying at the time.

He called for the bid to be rescinded. "

"130 ‘radioactive’ Japanese cars banned from entering Russia

The Fukushima nuclear plant was hit by an earthquake and a tsunami in March 2011, which resulted in the world’s biggest nuclear disaster since Chernobyl.

Leakage of radiation-contaminated water has been the major threat to population and environment of Japan and neighboring states from the very beginning of the crisis at the facility, situated just 250 kilometers from Japan’s capital city, Tokyo.

However, the plant’s operator, TEPCO, did not acknowledge that contaminated water was escaping from the Fukushima plant into the ocean, and that it was unable to stop the leaks, until July 2013"

"Food produced around the Fukushima nuclear disaster site could be making its way on to British shelves because of loopholes in safety rules, The Independent can reveal.

Products contaminated by radiation, including tea, noodles and chocolate bars, have already been exported from Japan under the cover of false labelling by fraudsters."

A total of 70 used cars imported from Japan and found to have increased levels of radiation are being stored in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, and cannot be sent back, according to Silk Road Reporters citing local news outlets. Car retailers in Kyrgyzstan, who have been importing significant numbers of used cars from Japan for resale in the country, have been finding cars that exhibit levels of radiation above normal. Several batches of cars have been seized by the government during the last three years and have at times been sent back to Japan through an agreement with the Japanese government. However, irradiated cars keep turning up in Bishkek, the capital, and not all of them are being detected in a timely manner.

"These cars cannot be dispatched back. Neither China nor Japan will accept them. For this reason, we have to keep them here and deal with their further disposal," Tolo Isakov, director of the Disease Prevention Department in Bishkek, told the AKIpress news outlet, according to Silk Road Reporters.

My good brother James, I just want to hear your honest opinion on those sources.

You didn't answer me that with your fake account.

Really, you should tell me what you think of those sources. Because I am worried about Japan, my brother. And the Lexus that you are driving, as Lexus is mostly built in Japan.

Love Acura vehicles lately.

MDX and TLX looks awesome. New Accord, Pilot, and 2016 Civic looks awesome.

Love the s2000. But Honda...don't spend another decade to build a S2000! and make a goddamn V8.

They can't get a 2.0T smogged????????

I just hope it has a baby price.
