That is an RR.
That's just a Civic RR.
And the production model doesn't come with all that carbon fiber, but I will admit, that concept is

I'm still disappointed with Honda scrapping the next gen. What's up with Honda and Toyota scrapping all their "sporty" cars. They need to getoff this fuel economic miles per gallon bs. I know we're in a recession in the US, but they can at least continue with one beast of a car.
This NSX looks pretty hot, but too much going on.

Yeah.. the CF illustrates tackiness. But the original Civic RR looks a bit more subtle than the NSX RR.

Meh, you're missing my point. I'm stating how Honda and Toyota who are known for their japanese race heritage, yet they have gone the sourroute of actual family oriented vehicles. For instance, Honda axed the NSX and the Integra/RSX. Toyota axed the Celica, MR2, and the Supra which were at theirtime the sporty cars of the subcompact category minus the Supra of course.
Nissan, Suburu, and Mitsu have done a good job keeping up with that category but they can only do so much. Kinda gets boring when all you see on the road are350/370s and your typical STI and Evos out there. I'm an import fanboy, but I'd like to see more variations out there. Especially in todays market whenthe big 3 domestic manufacturers are struggling.
The CF on that SI is ugly, I'd paint it. It's sad we always get the weaker designs out here in the states. I prefer that sedan SI over the one we gothere.

the US counterpart for the nsx would be a base model c6 vette. arguing that a nsx would be more durable, or a more reliable daily driver is lessthan honest.

But you came in dissing the Japanese cars, the most successful cars in the US, maybe even the world first and continue to support the American ones when they're the only automakers in the world that are begging for help.
not accurate. you need to pay closer attention, because toyota needed to be bailed out by japan for decades for its survival.

yea, i think its time for you to crawl out from under the rock. this economic recession is global and US automakers arent the only ones begging
to be bailed out after posting losses.

And look at Toyota now compared to Ford.

obviously, only a fool would think any country's industries are thriving. it's too late to really get into this, but i'll say that
you're bashing a car like the s2000 CR or NSX that will last MUCH longer than any american counterpart. once GM and chrysler really start to come undone,
maybe you'll change your tune.

Shut up, just shut up. You obviously do not know what you're talking about if you think a Corvette is more reliable than an NSX or performs better than anNSX.

i wasn't being sarcastic though. that's a very small list, and i too am disappointed in what toyota and honda have done to their carlineups. hell, i'd be driving a honda civic type-r if they sold it in the states, instead of an evo.

I'm guessing Honda and Toyota are focusing more on the general consumer and leaving the sporty stuff to Nissan, Mitsubishi, Subaru, and Mazda.

Japanese automakers are still heavily subsidized by the Japanese government in the forms of funding R&D and keeping a favorable currency rate for exports.

And yet, they're still not in as much risk of going out of business as the American ones.

What? A Vette will run circles around an NSX.
On a STRAIGHT.
Let's take it out on a track and see who wins.
Keiichi Tsuchiya set the Tsukuba record with the NSX and he said himself the only thing the Corvette is good for is running on a straight line.
