NSX Honda confirms new NSX for 2010

Devotees of the late, great Acura NSX – and that's just about everybody, really – have been waiting patiently for the second coming that once reportedly based on the Advanced Sports Car Concept shown above, but Honda keeps on making us wait longer. While there's still more waiting to be done, at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel, as Honda has revealed that the new NSX will make its debut in 2010. Sometime.

The second-generation Japanese supercar was anticipated for a launch this year at the Tokyo show, but we were disappointed when the Honda pavilion was absent of any such high-performance wizardry. Since the cancellation of the original NSX, TSX and Prelude, the aging S2000 roadster has been left all alone to defend Honda's honor on the sportscar front, while Nissan gets all the glory with the new GT-R.

The new timeline is a bit later than the 2008/2009 launch date that was originally set down by Honda CEO Takeo Fukui, but if it manages to live up to its predecessor, we doubt anyone will be grumbling. After all, who recalls at this point how far behind schedule the Bugatti Veyron fell before its eventual debut?

Still over 2 years away and there have been 2 wildly different concepts in the past few years. Until they show something that gives a clear picture of what this new version is going to be like, I have to file this one under the "who cares" category. Acura is dying on the vine without a real luxury car, being eaten alive by Lexus and Infinti with their sorry lineup of Accord based "luxury" cars and redundant SUVs. All the while their real effort and focus is put into a supercar. Couldn't care less at this point, Honda.

This will be one amazing car worth waiting for I think.

It looks intriguing. The flowing lines on the side vaguely remind me of the MM Exelero.
