Looks like a Ferrari 458 to me.

It appears that GT5 has released the Acura NSX as a DLC...

Unlike the original NSX which was designed to be better in every way over the Ferrari 348 (including looks), they jumped the shark with this one.

I have no doubt it will be a great car, I have a feeling this will be like comparing he 996 to a 964.......something gets lost with refinement even if every performance category is an improvement.

2015 is way too far out to get excited about any car.

It's a new financing strategy. You start making lease payments 3 years in advance

It's as disappointing as the original , Honda failed on the original when they offered the car with a v-6 instead of an v10 or 12 ala their F1 program, the car became a sales failure from then on .

The success of Nissan's current GTR means they going to be at the drawing board for awhile..

Owned a NSX.............once and a while they roll out a concept car and call it a new NSX, did it before and as a hybrid, duelnote or something with partial elect. power. I call BS on this too, if they were serious we would have seen more info and it being tested by the likes of a F-1 ace just for pub.

Not a fan of the new...does look like an R8 wannabe...they have to be aware of what there buyers want..I just don't think that's it.

Ditto. It'll most likely look quite different, anyway.

Why don't they just call all seven of them and ask?

seriously...that snaggletooth makes this R8 look like a malibu

Meh, an R8 wannabe shape. Typical Honda. Nothing original in design. I'm sure the technology that goes into its V6 will be cutting edge though.
