Honda NSX

Honda attempted to make a super car in the late 80’s called the NSX which kind of fell on its face a little, they made further improvements in the 90’s both to the engine and styling before giving it one last attempt in the early 2000’s and sadly I think non of the cars did Honda any justice. Honda makes good cars, they have race teams, even a Formula 1 team when they made the NSX but you would not have thought it off the NSX. Something was missing and I talked about it with the McClaren fax machine MP4-12C. It lacked passion and creativity; the car had no soul, personality, character for buyers to hold on to like the Ferrari’s and Lamborghini’s. Even reading looking at the figures just seems empty. A supercar with only 250hp and a top speed of 155mph just does not fit into the supercar category in anyway. Jenson Button the English F1 driver loves his NSX and says it is his favourite car but everybody knows that most F1 drivers are a little boring themselves, which does not help the NSX. I am disappointed in Honda as I feel they could really make an impressive car that could make people think different of the NSX, and the remodelled and rebuilt attempts have just not seemed fully committed. Even when Honda paid for their supercar to star in such films as Pulp Fiction, which would normally send people nuts about a car, nobody even gave the car a second look. If Honda is going to create a super car they need to do much better than the first few attempts.
