The 2017 Acura NSX Price Will Top Out at Over $200,000

Not that I disagree with your intent here...a simpler, more driver oriented car sure would've been a great successor. The earlier NSX they were developing with the V10 and sh-awd would've been the one. Unfortunately, the economy threatened that venture, so they shut it down. Fact is though, a 4.5 liter that would make 450 horsepower, meet EPA and federal mandates would have to rev tremendously high to make those power numbers...if at all possible. There is a reason Ferrari, and every other manufacturer is going forced induction...the era of N/A is over, unless you look at a power reduction. No need to debate whether the 4.5 is or isn't possible, its a simple matter of...the new NSX is a HALO...halo's are the umbrella of the future of the brand...everything built after will feed off of the learning they've done developing this car. Personally, the moment they made this NSX an american project, and not a japanese one, I felt it was doomed. This will only bolster original NSX value in my opinion.

Because there inst enough of those cars out right now? They made an exotic competitor that wasn't meant for the masses. The gains Lexus got from the LFA sent that brand right into the stratosphere. Acura is going for the same thing. Bet the next performance sedan they make will be very good. Maybe not the best but very good.

I would rather find an original NSX for around $40k and bolster it's performance another 100-150hp and skip this new model.

Agreed. And I say this as someone who loved my 3rd generation Integra. That's a really "meh" interior for something so expensive. Unless it looks vastly different in person, it just screams "cheap and plasticy".

I should hope the interior is "vastly different" in person. As it appears in the photos, it looks like an Acura version of a Honda CRZ. But then I'm too poor to afford an exotic like this. And even if I hit on the lottery, at my age, I'd rather have a nice Bentley Continental GT.
