    Honda/Acura NSX Replacement Canceled

    Carpocalypse Now: Acura NSX Canceled Due To Carpocalypse

    Yeah, Jalopnik is reporting that it's canceled. Makes perfect sense financially. And it wasn't going to be mid engined anyway. So, yeah, I guess somewhere in the future we'll get a better one, I hope.

    No F1 probably kills the marketing aspect of it too....

    I'd also imagine the overhead for a Halo car is pretty high, considering it needs its own plant and the less automated manufacturing method...

    Despite the non-mid-engine layout and what not I think it could have been a pretty amazing car, considering the recent high-performance offering from them(JDM Civic Type R, NSX-R, etc), all cars with very good fundemental traits to achieve good performance..

    I wonder, does that mean the V8 said to be in the works is in danger as well?

    Funny, I don't feel sad.

    Maybe if it had been an actual NSX successor I'd be more emotional.

    It's better that they cancelled it rather than bringing down the NSX's name.

    Of course, just because we knew it was front engined, we knew it was going to suck.

    And god forbid we soil a name...like that hasn't happened, OVER AND OVER AND OVER in the automotive world recently.

    Thta's no excuse for letting good names go.
    Let me give you an analogy: If one of your legs gets cut off, do you cut off the other one just because the other onegot cut off?

    If you deem a name as important as your limbs you're a fool.
