Keep Your Fingers Crossed: Topless NSX Could Debut Sometime This Year

Ya sure -if the coupe doesn't sell make a convertible. That should be good for 3 more units.

Actually, to some degree it does make sense. Adding a convertible is just one of the things that Acura needs to do to expand the NSX offerings. They are apparently testing another car, possibly a Type-R/S version, which will add to the lineup. There are 3 variants of the R8, 3 variants of the 488, 6 variants of the Huracan, and 24 (!) variants of the 911. So, yeah, if Acura is planning on making their entire lineup much more robust than it is today which is what they have promised, they need the appropriate halo car to lead the image.

Your mom is butt ugly, but when she is topless....john will come by faster.

hell yeah...better than any Eurotrash POS

So the NSX is dead for sales, now let's do a niche version. #idiocy

Honda sold 67 NSX so far in 2018. Doesn't even seem worth it to make another version.

I don't believe NSX II sales are lagging because they need a convertible. Honda has just built the wrong car (I won't say they priced it wrong, because they'd being giving them away at a loss at half the price).

NSX II: The super car nobody wants :-/

It's $100K too expensive for an Acura.

Oh, "adjective" means a describing word.)

@TheSteve it is indeed an unwanted offering. Honda is losing on this whole venture, especially the money wasted in 10 years developing first a front-engined car, then this rear-engined hybrid model. While they still see it as a bargain Porsche 918 or La Ferrari or P1, it just isn't. The market has spoken. The Viper was canceled with stronger sales than this. Only pride is keeping it alive.

@CANADIANCOMMENTS: I'd imagine the NSX II has a lot of appeal with the video game crowd, and younger guys who have a posters of their dream cars in their bedroom.

It even fails as a halo car. What will you sell the guy who comes in to see the NSX (which are exceptionally rare even in showrooms)? A decade of hype delivers a video-game car with a supercar price tag. Is anyone wondering why NSX sales are in the toilet, and why the NSX hasn't helped Acura's sales, or the brand?

Personally, I think Honda would have done better if they just would have built a respectably good, beautiful, and relatively affordable sports car (without the decade of hype, though.)

The reality of the supercar market is mostly for either investment and prestige. Examples of investment is the GT which is hardly suited to be road driven and mostly are garage queens. Prestige is ruled by the likes of Ferrari and Lamborghini. Tesla, Toyota and Honda can only make headway into the market for innovation and non-pro driven performance.

And as an invesrtment, they don't really hold their values that well.

Sounds like they need to open some NSX stores in shopping malls to boost interest.

Given your excitement at seeing the Kia Stinger in the mall, I think you're right.

I haven't been to a shopping mall in about 3 years. I buy online, like every other person in America below the age of 93.

I hate the mall as well.

E Commerce accounts for only 11.7 percent of retail sales in the USA - and even less in other countries.

Clearly people do go to stores - and malls - and in large numbers.
I actually would not want to buy Groceries online - and especially fresh veggies and meats. I generally get a better deal when I can choose an item - rather than someone else choosing my can of Beans - they tend to choose the most expensive possibility - and the worst looking meat.

Frankly - I would be surprised if the people on this site would choose to buy anything other than a new car online - and even that is something I would prefer to buy in person. I don't think I could list all of the reasons why I would not want to buy a USED car online -even if it had a 100% lifetime warranty.

And I also do not see the advantage in these meal in a box companies - they are almost as expensive(If not more so) as going to a Restaurant - when you consider that YOU have to cook the meal - and then clean up afterwards.

AS far as the NSX - Honda does not have a "brand" it can use for a true exotic - and Acura is not premium enough to be thought of that way. Add in a car that simply is not that desirable - over a Corvette - and you get FEW sales (There are some who will add one to their collections). Frankly I would rather have a Portofino than a "honda"

dementia + Jack Daniels is a sad combination. Poor Tommy.
