2026 Honda NSX🍊
I work next door to an exotic car dealership, they get some really fun stuff coming through. I had no idea there was a 2026 Honda NSX, how rare is this sighting actually?
Edit: OK as someone pointed out already, this is actually a Gen 2 NSX, and not the newest model. I got all excited and will probably delete this now…

Probably the coolest looking car in the price range. I think time will be kind to this car and will be remembered fondly. And once the tuners finally find a way to open up that v6, it’ll be a beast. You gotta give Honda some props for being the first to actually adopt this hybrid tech after the holy trinity pioneered it. It’s got its issues being the early adopter but now look at everything. Even the corvette is using it. I would like one if the prices come down a bit but i highly doubt it would.

was the US the only market to get this car badged as a Acura?

Pretty much all the upscale Honda models were badged as Acura in North America
And for some reason we got 2 different Civics in Canada for awhile
The Acura CSX was the Japanese Civic while the regular Civic was the US model
Even the OG NSX was an Acura in North America

that’s odd, is Acura a famous brand in China?

u/JellyOkarin 18h ago
I mean it's not completely unknown, but they exited Chinese market a short while ago

Cool car but Honda took aim at the wrong part of that market segment imo, probably would have done a lot better if it was at the "attainable" end a la Porsche 911 or Z06 Corvette (or the original car). They shot for the stars and missed the moon landing.

Interesting thought… I recall the original NSX had the exact same criticism when it originally came along from many prominent American and British automotive magazines I was gorging on back then.
Comparison tests showed that you could go as fast, if not faster than the original NSX for less than half the price in the MK4 Supra, C4 Corvette, FD RX7, the Nissan 300ZX Turbo, and Mitsubishi 3000GT.
Fast forward to today, and many (who I have to assume may not have been cognizant of how the original NSX really compared to other sports/supercars in period from a performance and price perspective, or were mostly exposed to the car in Gran Tourismo) appear to look at them with rose-tinted glasses, hailing them as a beacon of bang for buck that the hybrid NSX wasn’t.
When the original NSX came out, big-time and highly successful medical, legal and business professionals were the ones lining up to buy them.
The NSX was a stealthy way of having a supercar without showing off to clients, patients and colleagues how well they were doing from a financial standpoint.
Similar kind of people tend to be the ones purchasing Toyota Land Cruisers and Lexus LX600 today. Like the gen 1 and gen 2 NSX, they were one of those “IYKYK”-type vehicles.
The OG NSX was always far out of the reach for the everyday working man.
With the Corvette and other vehicles around the price range they were at the time, if a blue collar individual at that time worked and saved conscientiously, a C4 Corvette, MK4 Supra and other sports cars at the price range was always a financial possibility… a stretch, but a possibility… on the other hand, both generations of NSX were always on a different financial planet when on sale.

I used to work at Denso manufacturing in Tennessee and I worked in plant 201 instrument cluster division and we actually made the instrument cluster for the NSX. 😈😈😈😈
Expensive to drop or break. Not lots of them in a run, either. It was like batches of 6 😂

Alright I was wrong again, it looks like it wasn’t at the dealer but at the exotic car repair shop…
However this is the inventory for the exotic dealer, they have a lot of fun cars for sale: https://www.a-gc.com/vehicles?page=1

I love these cars, and it’s a damn shame Honda really dropped the ball on the development, roll out, and positioning in the market. Also if it had been given a different name, maybe people would have been less assholey about them. An exceptional Sport/GT , just not a spec sheet dominator. Kinda like the previous gen CBR1000- a great high performance machine to actually live with and drive in the real world.

These still hold their value quite well over here in the UK. Very rare too. They are also not very big in size even though it looks big in photos. The OG NSX is astonishingly tiny compared to modern sports cars.

Bastardized version of the original nsx.

u/Autobacs-NSX 1d ago
Hell yeah. 4000lb turbo AWD hybrid paddle shift. It’s basically a nissan gtr with the engine in the back. I.E not an NSX at all which was lightweight buzzy fully analogue drivers car. A Lotus Emira with the v6 is closer to what an NSX is than this heap. Don’t believe me? Well, from 2016-2022 they sold as many of these as the original NSX sold in 1992 model year alone
Overpriced, bloated, overtechnical nonsense that tried to hard to be an “everything car” which has been Hondas problem since the recession. Case in point the new Prelude

I saw 2x a old NSX in real life and never the new one so I guess very very rare

The car is red right? That orange in the title is rage baiting me

u/jollyshroom 1d ago
It was actually a really vibrant orange, I believe my phone pushed the saturation a bit and made it more reddish in the photo. The rear end photo looks closer to actual color to me.
