(Warning: You are about to read a very poorly-written article about an open call to suggest ways and words to write off !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! as a total failure, the kind that will make it in history books as the worst car ever. But the truth is that, well, the new NSX isn't. Not yet. Not until verdicts and CoTY nominations show up. Not until the user reviews and testimonials have come out. But this article is strictly for those who don't believe the NSX can do it, and want to rub it in and is happy to rub it in.)
You are now seeing the new Acura NSX. It's not the old one. It's taken too long a wait.
And now, it has arrived.
It's got an interior as bland as the old one. It's got a front end that many of you see as an Audi R8 rip-off. It's lines, you say, came from an Accord. It's got power, sure, but the Dodge Challenger Hellcat has 707. It's a hybrid, like the BMW i8, not a flat-plane crank engine, like in the Shelby GT350, but does torque fill like the McLaren P1 and charges the batteries the way the LaFerrari does.
Basically, it's the technology of the past five or so years rolled in to one car.
And to almost all Jalops and Opponauts, the new NSX is too late for the party, given that statement above. It's almost as if the design team completely ran out of ideas and decided to rip every single car off, not give credit, assemble the pieces and slap a legendary badge on it. And then aim for the unreachable stars like Bill, Bob, and Jebediah Kerman on their four hundred millionth mission.
No wonder many of you write the car off completely.
For you, the new NSX is like New Coke. The new Ford GT is a different car altogether.
Let's rub it in to them, boys and girls.
Besides the new Ford GT, your task is to reply with the cleverest and most downright evil and ridiculously tasteless ways to lambaste the car and everything about it. That's it. Make it something that will make it to Jezebel, Deadspin, and Gawker. Make sure that you write out of purified, filtered, and distilled hate, disgust, and disappointment. And do well.
But seriously, though, stop dissing the new NSX.

people here have said it doesn't represent the NSX name, I say that as NSX stands for New Sportscar eXperimental it does, it's techy because experiment.

Word on the grapevine is that McLaren had a hand in development. I could be wrong though...

The NSX will probably be a perfectly good car. The problem is, you need to be more than a perfectly good car in today's crazy competitive supercar world.

Great, so the stability control will be Jenson Button complaining about too much understeer and lack of balance.

It was in development hell for so long it became a joke. How many drive trains were tested V10, V8 and now hybrid V6. How hard is it it just pick one and build the damn thing!

Ford was able to get more than 600 horsepower out of a TT V6 without all the whale coddling hybrid shit.
