New Acura NSX Production Delayed

When the Acura Advanced Sports Car Concept made its debut at Detroit in 2007, it became evident that a new Acura NSX would not be available in 2008. Now, a Honda official has confirmed to Ward's Auto that the next generation Acura NSX will debut in 2010.

“We are developing it without any delay, so most probably we will have it in the period we already promised,” American Honda President and CEO Tetsuo Iwamura told a Ward's Auto reporter.

Previously, Honda CEO Takeo ***ui had said the car would come out between 2008 and 2009. In a 2005 speech, ***ui had said Honda would like to introduce a V-10 sports car "in three to four years." When the Advanced Sports Car Concept was shown off in Detroit, ***ui said a production version would be introduced at the October Tokyo Motor Show.

Despite the pressure placed on Honda by Nissan, which had planned - and succeded - in introducing their GT-R at Tokyo, Honda was unable to complete their production model. Rumors have since surfaced that an unenthusiastic responce to the concept sent the model back to the engineers for a reworking. The concept was designed by Acura's Los Angeles-based design team.

The end result is likely that the introduction of the Acura brand to Japan will be delayed, which could mean Americans might get the first shot at the NSX. If Honda retains similar specs as the Acura Advanced Sports Car Concept, then you can expect the new Acura NSX to be a supercar with a front-mounted V-10, and a highly-tuned rear-wheel drive version of Acura's Super Handling All-Wheel Drive system

IF Honda allows the Americans to have a very substantial hand in designing and engineering of the new NSX I believe it will have a good chance of being an abysmal failure.Unfortunately,the US or rather the North American market is huge and American styling cues(yuck!) are coming into Honda's international cars eg the Accord Euros big grill(Acura).Fueled by their overconfidence of believing they do things so much better than the rest of the world,I see a disaster in the making.

Unfortunately, the Accord Euro is Jap designed and styled before they decided to sell it in the US as the TSX. So it is not only the US, but Japan as well which are going towards the big grill design.

Exactly,but IMHO designs take ito account what American consumers like and the rest of the world cops it!
I'm sure 2009 the Euro/TSX will have an even bigger Acura styled grill.

If you haven't guessed it by now,very little impresses me about American design.
