It's speculated to be a front engine and either rear or all wheel drive (SH-AWD)

It might come in one of those F1 paddle shifters behind the steering wheel. So you might be in luck (thats if u can afford it). LOL...

If this does end up being a S2000 replacement then AWESOME (but it doesn't look like a convertible)!!! And if it is, then whatever happened to Honda's plan of getting rid of the S2000 and making a new model that competes in the Mazda MX-5 market?

I think its sad that its nowhere near the shape of the original NSX or even the HSC which they should have just put the SHAWD and V10 in that :) I dont care what they cost, as long as it keeps a GTR or the LF-A at bay, then it should be sold in Aus, its been a long time in coming, hopefully its not some ugly US idea of a sports car

errr the cr-z will not be a 'performance' car

and no new honda hatch will be able to reproduce the rawness and fun of a gen2 crx. even something resembling a new del sol would be better than the stuff coming out

dont think it will be faster than the GTR, GTR is faster than carrera GT, i doubt honda will be faster than a carrera gt. It may be as fast but highly unlikely to be faster than the gtr

GTR is quicker than the 911 Turbo on the Nurburgring. It is not quicker than a Carerra GT.

I'm still not 100% convinced that it is the new "NSX".It looks too small to have a V10 up the front.
There were mathematical calculations done by some engineers(?)at TOV site using the photo stills and someone came up with a measurement that placed it 1/2 a foot (approx15cm) shorter than the NSX and Porsche 911.:confused::confused:

Meh, whatever it is, looks like an Aston front + side with a Bimmer Bum...

Next...

Why not? A Ferrari 599 GTB is not a big car, but still fits in a 6L V12 into the smallish front engine bay.

Bet you that "engineer" didn't take into account perspective correction. :)

No has said it yet but it looks a 'little' like a prelude.
