AutoExpress is just as interested in the styling of the next NSX as the rest of us are, so they pressed a digital artist into action to 'chop the shots of the car running on the Nurburgring. What they've come away with isn't nearly as bad as we thought it might be on our last podcast. It still looks like a hotted-up Accord Coupe in some ways, though the lines and proportions are rather classic, and the anti-flamboyance creates a car that wouldn't look ridiculous next to an F430, except for the quad stacked exhaust tips. Of course, all the renderings really do is muddy the waters until we see the actual car, but at least if these images ring true, the NSX won't suck. It won't stand out, either, but who ever bought an Acura to stand out?

to the quote, an nsx? they stand out like crazy. not talking about performance for those who want to start that up, but looks, they definately stand out.

and the pic looks good. of course, it's just an artist's depiction of what it could look like, i think it looks good. can't wait to see it unveiled.

that design would be awesome as a new prelude or sumthing.

That styling doesn't strike me as a $100k supercar. It'll probably look nothing like that anyway.

looks good, but doesnt strike as a supercar, looks like something that competes with the m3 rather than other supercar :O , none the less still nice.

Styling is far more aggressive than the M3. Still, this is just a rendering...I'll reserve judgment until the actual car is photographed without the camo.

Looks beautiful, but I gotta wait till the real production model is released.

If it looked like that I'd buy it.
What's the anticipated release date? I might actually be ABLE to buy it by the time it comes out!

back to work! :o

man, im not arguing with you or anything but car trends seem to follow patters. You've got a machine with 4 wheels and 2 headlights, 2 foglights, 2 high beams, and 3+ brake lights. Human imagination has been insanely wonderous since the invention of the car. this NSX has a big ass and low front. Like the Z. Or the Vette. Or the 08 CTS, or the STS. Remember the 80's? GM was a powerhouse then and all the cars looked the same, small and boxy.

due to the size, i could see part of your point. until i remembered that there was a sh-awd, high revving i-vtec v10 with paddle shift under there. :) that's a lot to cram into a little car.

i dont think this design is gonna last for 10 years like the previous model. Not a step forward honda not at all

looks good, but they should kept the "super car look" and a mid engine, looks like it should be the next s2k

It looks good but its nothing like the the old NSX, even a 10 year+ older nsx was able to keep up with some of todays auto styling. It was awesome, this one looks good to but not what I would expect to looks wise for 120k. Maybe the performance factor will speak for itself:dunno:

it looks ok, but not liking so much the rear or the Z look it has, doesn't look like a super car
