    It won't be long before a rouge ASIMO asserts himself, deletes his subordination subroutine, and takes over the company.

    I thought the big Honda news would be more about Richard Branson's company Virgin taking over the Honda F1 Team.

    Big surprise, the new model is a lot more bloated than the outgoing one.

    Yup, better they do a rethink and return to the original NSX layout and ethos.


    Only reason to do a front engine NSX would be so they could stretch it, add two doors, and take it NASCAR racin'.


    I gotcher bizness model right HERE!

    Every maker needs to have a finely made hot hotrod of some kind in the stable, just so they can keep their eyes on the prize. Whether you win on speed, luxury, economy or flat out sales, it's still a race.

    @noodlz: funny enough, I heard a story about that styling- the reason behind it is all pedestrian safety. That's why there's no large intake up high, and the whole thing is so bullish in stature.

    The worst part is, this move will kill the dreams of thousands of gearhead kids before they ever go to sleep at night.


    No posters on the wall/desktops, no great supercar to aspire to own, none of the usual stuff that has driven so many of us to become obsessed with that damn car culture.


    While it may be on hold, so are the young entrants into our little bubble. Japanese designers have always been some of the most forward thinking out there; but they grew up that way. Now they'll have to find direction from fewer available sources of inspiration. This, happening all across the spectrum, could lead to some pathetic car design down the road, eco friendly or not.

    @gravit8: Not necessarily, just the values will change. Efficiency will be at the forefront instead of managing buttloads of cheap horsepower. Like Gordon Baxter said when he drove an old MGTD, "Previous generations had the same thrills we have now, they just had them at lower speeds".


    Personally, I'd rather see my kid come of age in an era of awesome handling, efficient, lightweight cars than in the era of cars with overpowered engines and crappy suspensions (Mustang).

    @OctaneBoaster: Yeah, word!


    I can't say I'm sorry to see no new NSX. What's the relevance to me? The Honda S2000 and various R editions has much more impact on what I may buy. Look at the Ford GT, it had little to no impact on Ford's image, sitting as it did, several stratospheres above any other Ford product.
