Yep the NSX was a disappointment in terms of sales.The outgoing NSX was $225,000?so one can imagine what would be the price of this V10 machine.

The FD2 would certainly be a competitor to the WRX and Ralliart-but I don't think it could match it with the EVO X or STI in terms of performance and everyday driving.
I think and I hate to say it,the next generation of Type Rs may need to be turbo or supercharged.
It's just becoming increasingly difficult for Honda to compete with these force fed cars.
