Honda cancel NSX supercar
Reports confirm that Honda has cancelled its flagship sportscar programme.
Auto Express Car Reviews17th December 2008It’s another shock announcement from Honda, and a massive blow for performance car fans everywhere. Only two weeks after dramatically pulling the plug on its Formula one team, the Japanese car maker has revealed its hotly-anticipated NSX supercar has been canned.

Honda claims the 560bhp V10 NSX, which was due to go on sale in 2010, was still in the development stage, despite posting a series of hot lap times around the Nurburgring.

The economic crisis has been blamed for the move, but Honda hasn’t entirely ruled out the NSX programme resuming in a few years time, once the firm’s financial situation improves.

I would rather see Honda pull the plug on something i will never own then have them go broke :)

Can't blame Honda, with today's market, not many rich ppl are going to buy one.\

Honda Aus on the other hand should have a go at fleet sales, seeing that many companies are opting to lease smaller cars to reduce fuel and CO2 emissions.

IMO (and most likely other people's opinions) if the New Skyline was still in the Concept stage and not released before the economy took a dump, it would have been pulled aswell.

I agree, It is good to see that Honda, like they do with theyre cars, are leaning out there expenditure to improve performance and survive this economic crisis. smart thinking.

it is supposibly unknown how long this crisis could last for and honda know this.

yeahh like imagine honda got like pwned and then we'd all be like...driving like.........antiques nd we cud be like yeah...they dont make these no more...100 thousand if u want to buy it buddy boy

Imagine if Honda got owned like Daewoo did.

It doesnt really matter apart from bragging rights.
They werent bringing it to Australia so we'd probably never see one in the skin.

Just shows you the way of Japanese corporations... rather protect themselves and take action early... than keep letting things go downhill, wait for the proverbial to hit the fan.. and go running to the govt to help them out with open hands.

They are still better off than how the US car industry is now.

Does this mean now that current model NSX's values are gonna go through the roof?

If so Im gonna buy a SPOON GT NSX-R asap before i cant even afford a reguler NSX anymore!
