Before you ask, yes we shot and edited this before the 2020 Corvette was revealed. The C8 Corvette definitely changes the game where mid-engine performance cars are concerned.
The New C8 Corvette just stopped the production of this car. Acura had a chance to do a SIMPLE car but they hired these OVER EDUCATED engineers and they f**ked themselves royally in the ASS!! I see these cars being given away just to clear the showroom floors of their PAINFUL f**k up...

@I don't even put the nsx in the same sentence as the ferrari or 918, as they run circles around the nsx too... Fucking double standards. This nsx is way too heavy for its average HP output. It wouldn't stand a chance against a cheaper 488 Pista or 720s. This car is exciting but definetely far behind European super cars.
@le m thanks for sharing your opinion but truthfully no need in name calling. What are you 10??? Regarding the new NSX it doesn't matter what technology you offer or what type of Hybrid the car ustilizes if No One is buying! Just looking at the sales record last year in 2018 only 170 units were sold!? We talking about for the ENTIRE Year! Now you wonder why Acura relaunched the NSX for thousands less??? It's great that you are NSX supporter but you cannot deny the fact that if the NSX continues to do this poorly. We won't even have a car with its "awesome" technology to discuss or debat about in the near future!
The new NSX was called overpriced when it was released. I think GM basically just did an AMD move. AMD’s ryzen exposed how overpriced Intel was was charging for higher core-count CPUs. I think the C8 simply exposes the ridiculous profit these cars get just because they are mid-engine.
It makes you wonder if the NSX is still relevant or if the excitement over the C8 is temporary. (My bet is that Honda will need to make some major improvements to the NSX if they don’t want this generation of the car to become nothing more than a footnote in car history)
That's because the new C8 is what the original NSX used to be. A supercar-killer,that had performance of an european exotic,for half the price. Even before the C8 came out,this here was underwhelming at best(same with the new Supra). It's way too expensive and has far less performance than other cars in his category,which are cheaper.The Audi R8 for example is cheaper, has much more power and it comes with a N/A V10 that sounds amazing.(same engine that the Huracan uses btw.) And then,GM dropped the C8 and pretty much decimated this here and the new Supra.
@@frankp3757 An even bigger failure is the new Supra.Both Toyota and Honda are completely missing the mark with these cars and seem to fail to understand what made the originals so successful.
The panic is real after the C8 reveal. Mid Engines were made for high end profit. The C8, was probably made for company survival before things get bad.

Why is this still a thing in 2019! Acura is really desperate to pay TH-camrs to endorse their car!

It won't just be the Honda/Acura NSX there will be a whole slew of exotic sports car manufacturers & their Fan Boys that feel the Sting of the Stingray. Acura NSX Fan Boy owners feeling the Sting of the C8 Corvette Stingray yet!, the value of your machine has just dropped like a BRICK overnight. Even lamboringhini will suffer a big sales drop.

People will see they've been taken for MUGS all these years, the perpetrators will be lucky to survive, of cause many won't survive as we'll see as time goes on, It'll be interesting to see, and humorous. If Chevrolet push hard in Europe it will finish off many solely sports car manufacturers. Eggs in one baskets and all that, that's their problem. Some Mugs will still buy the Acura NSX but it won't be for long as it won't be enough to warrant its continued production. The Acura NSX is as dead as a Dodo now. Potential C8 owners why not get your Acura NSX badge now, magnetise the back of it, put two crosses through it and have it ready to affix to the side of your C8 when they stop production. You'll have a whole long line of them as time goes on, Lotus will look & fit nicely as well. Stuff the lot of them, took y'all for Mugs... now they're going to pay, the C8 way.
@le m that's awesome and all but you that's not what you were shitting out in against lol you put it up against Italians and now you're trying to scrape goat with the nsx :) haha what a lame
Just rented one of these for the day. Not gonna lie, It was friggin awesome!!! My face hurt from smiling. The desert outside Vegas was perfect, no traffic, no cops, long straight shots. Get into the canyon cut through the turns like butter. Hugs the road like you’d hug a pillow your 1st day in prison. Just wish they offered different engine setups at different price points. Something starting at 75k would help sales numbers which are dismal
Even with a good discount from Acura for the head over heels review of the NSX, you're better off getting a similarly performing C8 for $100k off!😅 The C8 makes the NSX irrelevant!
Purple Giraffe perhaps not right away but eventually people will be able to order a C8 with no options if that's what they want, keep in mind corvettes are not meant to be exclusive
The newly revealed C8 represents what the old Acura NSX did and wht this new NSX should have been. It was the simple, light, affordable mid engine super car. The new NSX is overweight, complex, and overpriced. Pass
@Your Name Here but the c8 corvette is likely to go hybrid in zr1 trim, and other manufacturers have already or planned to make hybrid sports cars anyway, so its not bucking the trend. Moreover, its performance does not make it a bargain, especially in light of the new corvette. Nsx isn't a bad car, but for its price its simply not worth it.
I don't understand. The original NSX's appeal was value. The original NSX had amazing performance at a relatively affordable price. I don't understand what management at Honda/Acura were thinking here. Why give this car the NSX badge at this price range? Why give it a hybrid power train? Why have it go up against a GT3 or an R8?? Unbelievable...
$90k for a car back in the 90s is NOT affordable. It isn't really all that affordable now. But this car is more akin to hyper cars from Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari with its technology. And it comes at a huge discount compared to them. However, I do agree, ~150k starting does seem a bit steep. ~120k might have been better imo.
When my brother and I were younger we some day wanted to own an NSX. Then Acura went and dumped their brand in the toilet. I don’t know anyone who says, “damn, Acura is making great cars and I really want one.” However, this price is ridiculous! The price appears even more more ridiculous compared to the new Corvette or Tesla S for that matter. 40k of carbon fiber and an alcantara liner is a flat out joke.
I --- Did you own a Gen 1 NSX or just drive one 1 day and think you knew the car really well? If you own one back then was it a bone stock car? It only took around $3500 to $4000 dollars to change them up and from that point a Corvette had a very hard time keeping pace with one any more. I will agree with most other cars in a drag race were faster than an NSX. Once you got into the twisties. It was Adios Muther fugger. To that heavy corvette that you almost rolled over at speeds keeping up with an NSX!!
Agree on the orange paint. It's the best color for this car. Imagine if they made it around 80k base, up to 100k with options. Now the C8 is going to murder the competition, to the delight of most consumers. It's a great time to be a car guy
I have a feeling the C8 corvette is gonna put the nail in the coffin for whatever little hope left for the NSX , if they struggled to sell it before how are they gonna sell it when u have the C8 starting under 60k
Maybe not if Acura turns up the wick and drops weight. And if they add a manual transmission (I'm dreaming), the C8 doesn't offer that... they could be onto something.
When Micah said "I'll be the judge of what's Super Handling" @1:03, I knew exactly what the next "line" was ("that's pretty super"), haha; not that Micah's predictability is a bad thing.
If more units they sell, cheaper can be. Maybe the NSX dont have the big market of Corvette. Anyway Corvette dont have expensive batterys and electric engines. You could say the same with other supercars price.
Real game changer. GM's bailout special right here. When will folks ever learn. www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c8-general-discussion/4379888-c8-problems.html
NSX: Styling: Looks better - looks like a true mid engined 'supercar', a much more cohesive design. The C8 really looks like a mid engined corvette, doesn't quite have the dramatic supercar lines and proportions, AWD - greater all-round ability and safety in varying weather conditions Hybrid- can be comfortable (almost silent) quite cruiser then a howling supercar at the push of a button Quality. -As much as I love Corvettes, they are still a GM product. The top build vehicle from Honda/Acura is going to be hard to beat in terms of quality/reliability Exclusivity: the NSX is shunned by Euro brand snobs, so they are in fact a rare sight. Corvettes will be everywhere when the C8 comes out. ..but if the budget is $70k, not $170k then Corvette is a no brainer against the likes of say a Supra or other high end Camaros and Mustangs...
@@iluvcakes19 That's a harder choice, becuase the Cayman is not an exotic mid engined supercar in the way an NSX is. Knowing that the Cayman is probably a better car in terms of quality, I'd still probably gravitate to the Corvette as it is more special with a greater sense of occasion than a Cayman. Also there are the servicing costs which would be a lot higher on the Porsche.
@@nerychristian Yeah, I get that...nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't look like a hip high exotic like the NSX or McLaren 570 or Ferrari 488 does. Having seen the real life out door footage on another TH-cam channel, the C8 looks great, but it doesn't look like a mid engined exotic supercar.
le m CHILL keyboard warrior...you’re talking about the ZR1 c7, sorry but we’re on the topic of the C8 that hasn’t even come out yet for reviewers to compare...so no one knows what it can do yet.
The New C8 Corvette just stopped the production of this car. Acura had a chance to do a SIMPLE car but they hired these OVER EDUCATED engineers and they f**ked themselves royally in the ASS!! I see these cars being given away just to clear the showroom floors of their PAINFUL f**k up...
@le m Let me set YOU straight.. I am not a Real Estate agent. I OWN Billions in a portfolio I inherited. I own $10 Million in super cars.. I wouldn't be caught in an NSX nor a Corvette unless I was buying it to get groceries in but my Model X more than covers that. The next Real Estate crash WILL NOT hurt me just like the last crash didn't. In fact I got RICHER when the market crashed. So I'm actually drooling for the next crash to come. But YOU don't understand that logic as by your vernacular YOU probably don't own anything of any value and you more than likely can't afford the Corvette, The Supra, and especially the NSX. Cheers mate...
for $159K? I owned a pilot, the screen and controls are taken from that. If I am paying that kind of money, I dont want something that borrowed from other cars so obviously. And for 60K ill take the new covet over that.
@@disco.lemonade because I dont want to spend 159 k on a car that barrows parts for a 50k car? Are you sure you know enough about cars to be saying that?
@le m sorry, no, there doesnt go that argument. Im glad you read what you wanted and not what was said, because if you go and reread what I wrote, you would see what I wrote " I dont want something that borrowed from other cars so obviously" Yes cars borrow from other cars, that is a given, but not so obviously........ And there are high end cars that do and they look like shit for the money you are paying.
I like the car a lot. Weight in the middle and super handling suspension, extra electric torque, the sexiest Acura ever, and very thoughtful engineering. What I don't like for a $200K car is borrowing bean-counting from the Pilot. Just don't do that in your halo. They are nearly in the same neighborhood as Ferrari, Lambo, and Bentley. I'd be thrilled to own an NSX, but I would curse the Pilot buttons every day. I wonder what the resale will be in a couple years.
It's a great car. Super fast super Hi-Tech and probably reliable. But for all that, I think it's time we consider this generation of NSX a complete failure. And that's without the C8 existing.
Micah, great job on the review! I’ve always liked this generation of NSX, but have maintained from day 1 that it’s WAY overpriced. The new C8 seems more exotic at less than half the price.
Lots of inevitable comparisons with the C8 Corvette (which I love)..but the NSX just looks more -'supercar' to The C8 to me looks like a mid engined Corvette, rather than a mid engine supercar..still bloody nice, but the NSX is on another level IMO. Also it is a much more sophisticated car with AWD hybrid drive train that can be a quiet comfortable cruiser and a howling supercar at the push of a button. Something that the C8 Corvette cannot be. It's also going to be a lot faster (and safer) when conditions are less perfect and I would imagine the quality will be on another level too. I recall in 2016 the NSX was hailed as a cut price Porsche 918/LaFerrari/P1.
Oh Jasonnn Acura dropped the price of the first NSX also. The first year they were brought into the United States they cost $138,000.00. Then Acura realized they were way over priced. The dropped them back to right around $68,000.00 . They were only 72,000.00 in 2005 brand new. That was cheap for this car in the 90’s through 2005!! I had a lot of friends that had the ZO6 that I could out run in the corners very easily back then.
They don't need to. Some of us like cars that are built with quality. And then there's the C8 www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c8-general-discussion/4379888-c8-problems.html
Many C8's WILL have Acura NSX badges on them, on the side with two crosses through them, just in view of the side mirror. When Acura stops production of their NSX as other sports car manufacturers will, some C8 owners will collect the road kill badges, it'll be fun for them. These car outfits will blame everything else as will their fan boys but we'll know why they went under.
I wish they built the NSX without the need for hybrid powertrain but my gawd does the orange color looks amazing! I love how sport oriented the NSX and how it has an amazing AWD system! The C8 corvette will now dilute the mid engine car industry..... and with that much power and more ppl with money than driving skills.... you’re going to see a lot of accidents with the C8 corvette
My god this thing looks like a Cop magnet. It’s so damn good looking. I didn’t know how I’d think of the orange in pictures, but it looks good in motion.
Honda/Acura basically screwed themselves over with the new NSX. If it was priced at 80k, it would probably be freaking amazing. But no, it's too deep in the waters of R&D and those gimmick motors really jacked up the prices. C8 Corvette is a good example of what the new NSX should've been. No gimmick electric motors. Just a good ol' V8 making enough power to move from 0-60 in less than 3 seconds.
2019 and just air bags as safety feature? What a joke. Not even a blind spot monitoring system which is available at least as an option on Nissan Versa.
Purple Giraffe You don’t need them, perhaps the super humans driving sports cars don’t need them and would be proud to become the next Paul Walker eh ?
Aradhya Sharma Blind spot monitor? Adaptive cruise? Lane keep assist? Those are just assistance features that you don’t ACTUALLY need. If you do need it, then buying a supercar doesn’t seem like the best idea. You might be better off with a DB11 or LC500. It’s not like it doesn’t come with traction control or stability control.
Wait! How is there no mention of the C8? Even if the whole video was made prior to the C8 unveiling there still should have been an addendum to mention that the C8 base price is THREE TIMES cheaper than the NSX base price. I mean seriously, you could buy a C8 for yourself and TWO of your friends to mob around in for the price of the NSX. - Sincerely, a concerned keyboard warrior. Edit: The C8 also comes in orange. :)
you know what else is worth $150k? exclusivity. don't get me wrong, under $60k with what the C8 has to offer is a no brainer, but I'd rather want something I don't see everyday on the road.
I think the new Corvette looks good too...but sorry, no comparison to this NSX for looks. The front and rear end for example, the NSX looks simply miles better. Side on the C8 gains some ground, but it simply doesn't have that ultra low supercar look the NSX has. The C8 Corvette is actually unique in that dept, it's mid engined, is obviously a departure from the front engined C7, but does not have the road going 'spacecraft' look of the NSX or Mclaren 570 or Ferrari 488. This latest video of the NSX in orange is actually a timely reminder that the NSX is a different level of exotic in looks. I'd also wager that as an overall package is a better car - which of course it should be for the price.
@@galencaudill6462 Yes, I certainly appreciate the Corvette for all of the things you mention, including the current C7, would have one in a heartbeat..but lets not forget Japanese quality and reliability (yes, I know this is US built) that the Honda/Acura name brings to the table. Also in real world terms, I hear the Vette starts at under $60k'..at $59,995!..but then there is the configurator. I like the light blue with all the carbon fibre bits, I bet that would bring the cost to more like $80K USD?..still a killer bargain...but on the other end of the scale with the NSX struggling to sell because of its high base price, I can imagine the real world transaction prices $140k USD probably?...and then with Corvette watch for the inevitable
Yeah tons cheaper considering the fact that taxpayers funded it with GM's two bailouts. GM is a joke. Their engineers are great but fact is from a business perspective. GM is failing.

You'll have a whole long line of them as time goes on, Lotus will look & fit nicely as well. Stuff the lot of them, took y'all for Mugs... now they're going to pay, the C8 way.
@le m yeah because Italian cars are relia........oohhh wait
@le m that's awesome and all but you that's not what you were shitting out in against lol you put it up against Italians and now you're trying to scrape goat with the nsx :) haha what a lame
Speaking about reliability, remember Toyota and the LFA? No, don’t worry. No one remembers it either.
Just rented one of these for the day. Not gonna lie, It was friggin awesome!!! My face hurt from smiling. The desert outside Vegas was perfect, no traffic, no cops, long straight shots. Get into the canyon cut through the turns like butter. Hugs the road like you’d hug a pillow your 1st day in prison. Just wish they offered different engine setups at different price points. Something starting at 75k would help sales numbers which are dismal
Get a better job and You can buy one friend go to college .
Even with a good discount from Acura for the head over heels review of the NSX, you're better off getting a similarly performing C8 for $100k off!😅 The C8 makes the NSX irrelevant!
But the NSX looks better
@@fridericusrex9812 I'll give u that, but are u willing to pay 3 Corvettes for one good looking orange Acura?
@@Sie84yv check out the c8 with aftermarket wheels. Google it. Looks way better
I doubt a dealer will sell a c8 for 60k
Purple Giraffe perhaps not right away but eventually people will be able to order a C8 with no options if that's what they want, keep in mind corvettes are not meant to be exclusive
So I can buy 3 C8 Corvettes for 1 NSX?
The newly revealed C8 represents what the old Acura NSX did and wht this new NSX should have been. It was the simple, light, affordable mid engine super car. The new NSX is overweight, complex, and overpriced. Pass
@Your Name Here but the c8 corvette is likely to go hybrid in zr1 trim, and other manufacturers have already or planned to make hybrid sports cars anyway, so its not bucking the trend. Moreover, its performance does not make it a bargain, especially in light of the new corvette. Nsx isn't a bad car, but for its price its simply not worth it.
I don't understand. The original NSX's appeal was value. The original NSX had amazing performance at a relatively affordable price. I don't understand what management at Honda/Acura were thinking here. Why give this car the NSX badge at this price range? Why give it a hybrid power train? Why have it go up against a GT3 or an R8?? Unbelievable...
It’s a good car pretty beast to me
$90k for a car back in the 90s is NOT affordable. It isn't really all that affordable now. But this car is more akin to hyper cars from Porsche, McLaren, and Ferrari with its technology. And it comes at a huge discount compared to them. However, I do agree, ~150k starting does seem a bit steep. ~120k might have been better imo.
I'd rather get a C8 for half the price.
They put a lot of technology in this car like the electric mode AWD etc..
This one is also. Cheapest hybrid super car. Next one up is the Porsche and that thing is stupid expensive!!
The C8 will get my money like yesterday lol
And ultimately be in the shop tomorrow :(
@@briand.1694 hater lol
Corvettes are super reliable. But I would pick the NSX for the awd I live in New England.
@@noahlugobaseballandboxing7015 not everyone have nsx money tho
You dont even got C8 money. There is no future in your frontin
its a pretty amazing car... its hard to deny it. especially with the price drops at dealers
When my brother and I were younger we some day wanted to own an NSX. Then Acura went and dumped their brand in the toilet. I don’t know anyone who says, “damn, Acura is making great cars and I really want one.”
However, this price is ridiculous! The price appears even more more ridiculous compared to the new Corvette or Tesla S for that matter. 40k of carbon fiber and an alcantara liner is a flat out joke.
I --- Did you own a Gen 1 NSX or just drive one 1 day and think you knew the car really well?
If you own one back then was it a bone stock car? It only took around $3500 to $4000 dollars to change them up and from that point a Corvette had a very hard time keeping pace with one any more.
I will agree with most other cars in a drag race were faster than an NSX. Once you got into the twisties. It was Adios Muther fugger. To that heavy corvette that you almost rolled over at speeds keeping up with an NSX!!
Amazing! Can't beat the rev and sound of a Honda/Acura engine. Nice and fun review.
LOVE THIS CAR.........deserve more credits than it normally gets. It looks stunning......
Agree on the orange paint. It's the best color for this car. Imagine if they made it around 80k base, up to 100k with options. Now the C8 is going to murder the competition, to the delight of most consumers. It's a great time to be a car guy
Almost 10 minutes of smiling. Thank you Micah. You and Tim are the best! ;)
Thanks, Honda but I'm getting a C8.
Your cant afford either....stop..
@@FirstLast-mb9fq literally every american can get a loan for $50,000 dude... so you're argument is invalid
Church of the H? Dont you mean Temple of VTEC?
The Orange Acura NSX looks great! Also, the NSX is one of the best looking modern supercars imo.
NSX dud at $193,000! Buy a C8 fully loaded for $85K, save $107,000
Just ordered a nsx ...seen the c8 and I get it but there 2 different cars
I was hoping a 50k car 150k is just too much for a V6 the car looks cool just make it cheaper and you will be good
@Rolas the c8 has a better value but a bad design. The NSX has a good design but has a bad value. Hopefully the lower the price of the NSX.
i would get this over c8 or even future c9 anyday
I have a feeling the C8 corvette is gonna put the nail in the coffin for whatever little hope left for the NSX , if they struggled to sell it before how are they gonna sell it when u have the C8 starting under 60k
Maybe not if Acura turns up the wick and drops weight. And if they add a manual transmission (I'm dreaming), the C8 doesn't offer that... they could be onto something.
Oh and good luck getting a new Corvette for under $60k. Even now, non hi-po vettes on lots are stickering for $75 - 80k.
www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c8-general-discussion/4379888-c8-problems-8.html
If Honda couldn’t sell this car before, it won’t be able to give them away after the C8.
Should have upgraded that interior. Especially for that price
When Micah said "I'll be the judge of what's Super Handling" @1:03, I knew exactly what the next "line" was ("that's pretty super"), haha; not that Micah's predictability is a bad thing.
Absolutely love this car ❤️
🤢🤮
This guy takes car review to another level ✌. Keep it uo
C8 all day, the C8 is a game changer. no way is the nsx worth 150k now that the C8 is out
If more units they sell, cheaper can be. Maybe the NSX dont have the big market of Corvette.
Anyway Corvette dont have expensive batterys and electric engines.
You could say the same with other supercars price.
Real game changer. GM's bailout special right here. When will folks ever learn.
www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c8-general-discussion/4379888-c8-problems.html
Money no object, what would you pick (and why): C8 Corvette or NSX?
NSX:
Styling: Looks better - looks like a true mid engined 'supercar', a much more cohesive design. The C8 really looks like a mid engined corvette, doesn't quite have the dramatic supercar lines and proportions,
AWD - greater all-round ability and safety in varying weather conditions
Hybrid- can be comfortable (almost silent) quite cruiser then a howling supercar at the push of a button
Quality. -As much as I love Corvettes, they are still a GM product. The top build vehicle from Honda/Acura is going to be hard to beat in terms of quality/reliability
Exclusivity: the NSX is shunned by Euro brand snobs, so they are in fact a rare sight. Corvettes will be everywhere when the C8 comes out.
..but if the budget is $70k, not $170k then Corvette is a no brainer against the likes of say a Supra or other high end Camaros and Mustangs...
@@KnightIndustries572 good points. Would you take the c8 over a 718 Cayman, any 718, including the GT4?
@@KnightIndustries572 Well, of course the C8 looks like a mid engine corvette. It's supposed to. It will look even better in person.
@@iluvcakes19 That's a harder choice, becuase the Cayman is not an exotic mid engined supercar in the way an NSX is. Knowing that the Cayman is probably a better car in terms of quality, I'd still probably gravitate to the Corvette as it is more special with a greater sense of occasion than a Cayman. Also there are the servicing costs which would be a lot higher on the Porsche.
@@nerychristian Yeah, I get that...nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't look like a hip high exotic like the NSX or McLaren 570 or Ferrari 488 does. Having seen the real life out door footage on another TH-cam channel, the C8 looks great, but it doesn't look like a mid engined exotic supercar.
Wonderful car that's way overpriced. Bring out a version under 80k and we'll talk
thats lexus lc500 lol
They'll probably do because of the Corvette c8
So it's a 158,000 dollar C8 with a worse interior and no V8
Pass
Great car but production cost is killing itself unlike the 1st gen which is far more accessible Great review too
I would get this car to fuel my exclusivity ego, but then the C8 would run circles around me with extra $60k in the pocket
Enough to buy another vehicle and put a pro charger kit on the c8 and crank it to 600+ and still be reliable
le m CHILL keyboard warrior...you’re talking about the ZR1 c7, sorry but we’re on the topic of the C8 that hasn’t even come out yet for reviewers to compare...so no one knows what it can do yet.
The New C8 Corvette just stopped the production of this car. Acura had a chance to do a SIMPLE car but they hired these OVER EDUCATED engineers and they f**ked themselves royally in the ASS!! I see these cars being given away just to clear the showroom floors of their PAINFUL f**k up...
@le m Let me set YOU straight.. I am not a Real Estate agent. I OWN Billions in a portfolio I inherited. I own $10 Million in super cars.. I wouldn't be caught in an NSX nor a Corvette unless I was buying it to get groceries in but my Model X more than covers that. The next Real Estate crash WILL NOT hurt me just like the last crash didn't. In fact I got RICHER when the market crashed. So I'm actually drooling for the next crash to come. But YOU don't understand that logic as by your vernacular YOU probably don't own anything of any value and you more than likely can't afford the Corvette, The Supra, and especially the NSX. Cheers mate...
Sands Real Estate West lololol damn man, I’m not even the target here and my 1031 exchanges got destroyed 😂😂😂
C8 vette wins and it's not even out yet 😆
For those who wonder if Honda can do anything they decide to do, the NSX is the answer.
Stephen Hendricks yes, yes they can. Like Toyota and the LFA that no one remembers.
The only Super Car I would want to own if I had Super Car money.
You have bad taste. I would rather have a McLaren or a Pagani.
@@nerychristian I would only need one NSX. You're going to need 2, one to drive while the other is in the shop.🤑
With the reveal of the C8 I wouldn't have even bothered to upload this video.
☝️
Why? Should the other cars he mentioned do the same and not upload videos?
Why am I watching this when I'm not in the market for a new car.... Blame it on Micah!!!
95% of people who put orders on NSX just canceled after they saw the new C8 Vette!
I doubt it
That would mean that people actually ordered it in the first place.
Both are very nice cars for different people it all comes down to personal preference. But I must say that C8 sounds like a dream for under $65,000
I LOVE THIS CAR!!! 😍😍😍🤩🤩
🤢🤮
for $159K? I owned a pilot, the screen and controls are taken from that. If I am paying that kind of money, I dont want something that borrowed from other cars so obviously. And for 60K ill take the new covet over that.
It means you don't know shit about cars. Go buy the Corvett.
@@disco.lemonade because I dont want to spend 159 k on a car that barrows parts for a 50k car? Are you sure you know enough about cars to be saying that?
@le m sorry, no, there doesnt go that argument. Im glad you read what you wanted and not what was said, because if you go and reread what I wrote, you would see what I wrote " I dont want something that borrowed from other cars so obviously" Yes cars borrow from other cars, that is a given, but not so obviously........ And there are high end cars that do and they look like shit for the money you are paying.
I like the car a lot. Weight in the middle and super handling suspension, extra electric torque, the sexiest Acura ever, and very thoughtful engineering. What I don't like for a $200K car is borrowing bean-counting from the Pilot. Just don't do that in your halo. They are nearly in the same neighborhood as Ferrari, Lambo, and Bentley. I'd be thrilled to own an NSX, but I would curse the Pilot buttons every day. I wonder what the resale will be in a couple years.
It's a great car. Super fast super Hi-Tech and probably reliable. But for all that, I think it's time we consider this generation of NSX a complete failure. And that's without the C8 existing.
Micah, great job on the review! I’ve always liked this generation of NSX, but have maintained from day 1 that it’s WAY overpriced. The new C8 seems more exotic at less than half the price.
Lots of inevitable comparisons with the C8 Corvette (which I love)..but the NSX just looks more -'supercar' to The C8 to me looks like a mid engined Corvette, rather than a mid engine supercar..still bloody nice, but the NSX is on another level IMO. Also it is a much more sophisticated car with AWD hybrid drive train that can be a quiet comfortable cruiser and a howling supercar at the push of a button. Something that the C8 Corvette cannot be. It's also going to be a lot faster (and safer) when conditions are less perfect and I would imagine the quality will be on another level too. I recall in 2016 the NSX was hailed as a cut price Porsche 918/LaFerrari/P1.
Actually, the C8 will have different drive modes. One of them is Quiet mode.
Acura drop the price for the NSX so it can compete with the C8 Corvette
Oh Jasonnn Acura dropped the price of the first NSX also. The first year they were brought into the United States they cost $138,000.00. Then Acura realized they were way over priced. The dropped them back to right around $68,000.00 . They were only 72,000.00 in 2005 brand new. That was cheap for this car in the 90’s through 2005!!
I had a lot of friends that had the ZO6 that I could out run in the corners very easily back then.
They don't need to. Some of us like cars that are built with quality. And then there's the C8 www.corvetteforum.com/forums/c8-general-discussion/4379888-c8-problems.html
With an V8 and the Honda blind spot camera, the nsx would be adored even with a $30k higher sticker price.
I like this reviewers enthusiasm and love the NSX
I like it when Micah is on here talking about whatever it is he's talking about. He's pretty.
I love this car , it is my dream car
@Rolas cool, I don't know why people hate this car
@le m ya man , it is also good as an daily driver
Don't dream. You'll get it for sure. 👍
I wish the *C8* had an Acura badge
Many C8's WILL have Acura NSX badges on them, on the side with two crosses through them, just in view of the side mirror. When Acura stops production of their NSX as other sports car manufacturers will, some C8 owners will collect the road kill badges, it'll be fun for them. These car outfits will blame everything else as will their fan boys but we'll know why they went under.
I wish they built the NSX without the need for hybrid powertrain but my gawd does the orange color looks amazing! I love how sport oriented the NSX and how it has an amazing AWD system! The C8 corvette will now dilute the mid engine car industry..... and with that much power and more ppl with money than driving skills.... you’re going to see a lot of accidents with the C8 corvette
Completely valueless now that Chevrolet revealed the C8 Corvette Stingray
The only flaw in my eyes with this car. It doesn't break 200 mph. And that's just a minor gripe. This car is nuts.
Finally a reliable super car, oh wait Nissan GT-R Nismo.
Lol does not remember when the rear ends explode on them
Love these vids!
This is the best advertisement for the new Corvette
Every time I'm reminded of this car, I realise It'd probably be the one I'd buy if I could afford a supercar
I have an AP1 S2000 in New Formula Red, and an '18 NSX in Berlina Black. Awesome cars..............thanx Honda.
No volume knob! What is this? 1922?
LOOKS GREAT!!! but WAY too expensive and NOT exciting enough, but don't worry new C8 will fix all NSX problems
More like give the nsx a few problems
Awesome and distinctive review of one of a kind legendary supercar, thank you.

RIP NSX......from C8 Corvette
Fantastic underrated car.
the nsx is amazing and looks so much better than the new c8
I'd buy it tomorrow if I could get it new for $60k.
lol same here
Honda/Acura basically screwed themselves over with the new NSX. If it was priced at 80k, it would probably be freaking amazing. But no, it's too deep in the waters of R&D and those gimmick motors really jacked up the prices. C8 Corvette is a good example of what the new NSX should've been. No gimmick electric motors. Just a good ol' V8 making enough power to move from 0-60 in less than 3 seconds.
No third row?
2019 and just air bags as safety feature? What a joke.
Not even a blind spot monitoring system which is available at least as an option on Nissan Versa.

It’s a driver’s car. You don’t need that.
you need safety nannies on a sports car huh
Purple Giraffe You don’t need them, perhaps the super humans driving sports cars don’t need them and would be proud to become the next Paul Walker eh ?
@@Aradhya.Sharma who?
Aradhya Sharma
Blind spot monitor? Adaptive cruise? Lane keep assist? Those are just assistance features that you don’t ACTUALLY need. If you do need it, then buying a supercar doesn’t seem like the best idea. You might be better off with a DB11 or LC500.
It’s not like it doesn’t come with traction control or stability control.
I’ll get the new stingray or Porsche Carrera for the price of the NSX
I don't blame you. The current NSX is a failure.
Wait! How is there no mention of the C8? Even if the whole video was made prior to the C8 unveiling there still should have been an addendum to mention that the C8 base price is THREE TIMES cheaper than the NSX base price. I mean seriously, you could buy a C8 for yourself and TWO of your friends to mob around in for the price of the NSX. - Sincerely, a concerned keyboard warrior. Edit: The C8 also comes in orange. :)
Check the pinned comment. Shot and edited before the C8 unveil.
Video brought to you by Honda.
you know what else is worth $150k? exclusivity.
don't get me wrong, under $60k with what the C8 has to offer is a no brainer, but I'd rather want something I don't see everyday on the road.
Great video:-):-):-) but the new 2020 corvette will out sell the nsx. And the vette is so much cheaper and better Looking
better looking? now way.
Corvette and Camaro being pulled out from some EU countries so there's that.
I think the new Corvette looks good too...but sorry, no comparison to this NSX for looks. The front and rear end for example, the NSX looks simply miles better. Side on the C8 gains some ground, but it simply doesn't have that ultra low supercar look the NSX has.
The C8 Corvette is actually unique in that dept, it's mid engined, is obviously a departure from the front engined C7, but does not have the road going 'spacecraft' look of the NSX or Mclaren 570 or Ferrari 488. This latest video of the NSX in orange is actually a timely reminder that the NSX is a different level of exotic in looks. I'd also wager that as an overall package is a better car - which of course it should be for the price.
@@galencaudill6462 Yes, I certainly appreciate the Corvette for all of the things you mention, including the current C7, would have one in a heartbeat..but lets not forget Japanese quality and reliability (yes, I know this is US built) that the Honda/Acura name brings to the table. Also in real world terms, I hear the Vette starts at under $60k'..at $59,995!..but then there is the configurator. I like the light blue with all the carbon fibre bits, I bet that would bring the cost to more like $80K USD?..still a killer bargain...but on the other end of the scale with the NSX struggling to sell because of its high base price, I can imagine the real world transaction prices $140k USD probably?...and then with Corvette watch for the inevitable
Yeah tons cheaper considering the fact that taxpayers funded it with GM's two bailouts. GM is a joke. Their engineers are great but fact is from a business perspective. GM is failing.
Micah you really need to get one , you really look good in it .
0 - 60 in 2.7 seconds, according to Acura.
