Are you sure that's a redesign?

From that photo it looks pretty much identical to the previous NSXs.

90k and like 15 horsepower. Those things are pathetically underpowered. Looks good tho!

More of a "restyle" than a redesign. It's still the same old, good old NSX.

. . . And, yes, a repost.

Not the redesign. Just the slight changes for 2002. Only real difference is that the headlights are fixed now and not retractible. Far more accurate to say that the Corvette is "a lot of NSX" because the roofline of the NSX has been the same since 1992. Same for those side vents. :p

Those are hot, hot, cars! Toss a supercharger in there, and that'd be one sweet little racer.

Erm the front looks like a cross between the prelude and a widened del-sol, the back looks like a bit like a corvette.
At $50,000 not bad. At $89,000 what a ripoff.

Compare to corvette.

$40K is alot of money to spend for different styling, slower and worse gas mileage.

I must admit though, I do like the NSX styling better. I just can't decide if I like it $40K better.

As long as I'm talking about the cars I can't afford it's easy for me to say that I like NSX better than Corvettes. ;)

If I'm going to spend $90,000 for a car I shouldn't have to add anything to it...

the car itself is awesome, the performance you get for the price isn't

the only reason anybody could justify spending that much money is cause it's so rare and you'd be different

you see alot of porsche's corvette's around, how many nsx's do you see? depends on what you want i guess, but i do agree, performance wise totally not worth it ^_^

The changes they made to this year's model are very well received. The new front end looks great. I think they did boost the hp a bit too, no?

Here a couple of pics I took of it at the Chicago Auto Show (sorry, couldn't get back far enough)

Yo,
Looked it up. 2002 is NOT a remodel. Just the usual year to year tweak of this or that.

What exactly is Honda smoking anyway? The NSX is barely faster than their S2000 in the 1/4 but costs over twice as much as it does. Give the NSX some actual power or do away with it.

Great! You just blew up my fantasy.

Trying again. . .

Almost there. . .

9000 RPM on four wheels! Top down cruising! ½ price?

MMMM, S2000! :) <-- I'm OK now.
