This is *comment of the whole thread*, really. Who likes paying mechanics? I had the first NSX, my boss has two Ferraris. He lamented over how well-built the NSX was, and how he thought it had LOADS of storage (I laughed at this). One thing he said that always stuck (and this was nearly 20 years ago now), was that 'you know how you hammer your NSX day in, day out? Well, my Ferrari always has SOMETHING wrong with it, no matter how small or large. It is never quite right." He explained it just would not take a good kicking. Later that year he talked me out of my would-be first Diablo purchase, as he laid out the cost of dropping a V12, at Lambo rates. He said "...they might make 500hp, but the Italians won't do it for very long, before going wrong." We are still friends to this day, my NSX is long-gone (what a mistake but I see its still out there via an MIB-check), but he still has his Ferraris. He quipped "I'd sell the bath tub first, before parting with one of my cars."

Volume knob was never broken, I don't know why anyone thought they needed to fix it. It really is so absurd that they're supposed to be making vehicles safer but yet you have to take your eyes off the road to do anything anymore like in some new cars where all the controls are on a touch screen including HVAC.
Aul T O R Q because it doesn't have a manual, and it's turbocharged, and a hybrid. Also some people don't like the styling. I was disappointed myself, but then I heard it had 573 horsepower and did 0-60 in under 3 seconds.
ClumsyGarage the fact that people are mad about turbocharging cars is mind boggling to me, it’s fitted for a turbo which means turbos can be upgraded straight off without having to rebuild a naturally aspirated engine to fit a turbo. They made it a hybrid for instant torque, fuel economy is an added bonus, the 9 speed automatic was added over a manual for increased acceleration and instant shifts to keep a smooth acceleration from each gear. They engineered this car as a TRUE super car, completely evolved in every way from the previous generation. Sure a manual option would’ve been nice, I only drive manuals so I would’ve liked that as well and I completely agree with you about that, but everything about this car screams for the enthusiast driver and everyone’s ignoring the improvements and yearning for nostalgia which will never happen and that’s what I don’t get. As the future brings new tech for cars, enthusiasts should evolve to meet these new enhancements
@Channel Terminated yep A huracan kills it in a straight line and in corners too mainly because of the nsx extra weight but dont exclude the nsx becase it costs less than a huracan and it can corner very well and stable
0-60 in under 3 seconds... 3.5L V6 engine... Over 500hp... Has better MPG than a subaru wrx/sti... wow. I own a wrx and thats the only thing i hate about my car
@@Omar02669 I have a '17 Pilot, the middle of 3 years of the slide-volume. The '19 Pilot has a cheap knob. I'm disappointed that Honda caved to the sticks in the mud. The slide volume, combined with the controls on the steering wheel, has never been an issue.
Kosan Rio yeah WYF!!!... How can he say it's "cool"...!!! It's a sports car you're supposed to have something simple Not something complicated that works 1 in 10... I noticed every time he reviews a car from a dealer he sound more like a salesperson than a critic... This may be why the dealer let him reviews the car by the way
Kosan Rio the problem with the nsx is simple 570hp 4 motors audi 570plus hp 1 motor porsche 570hp 1 motor McLaren 570hp 1 motor 3900pounds Acura audi McLaren audi r8 it's just a Acura and it's slower or just as fast as the competition with 4 motors not to mention plastic everywhere ====== no sales period
Kosan Rio yeah it's even more distracting than Lexus's mouse thingy, this is why everyone is leaning towards physical controls like the bmw idrive or audi mmi
I figured this whole video must be a bit tongue in cheek at that point. But yeah, this is one of the worst "features" in my Honda Fit. How it could be a good feature on the NSX is beyond me. I hate it.
Probably not the interior though, but its debatable, but I would definitely buy it, I would choose this car any day, because this car was made to impress you, not others unlike Ferrari or Lambo
It's not often you hear Jay Leno simply say "I'm buying one" when he drives a car. A man that has an F1 and has driven all the big cars like P1 and 918 etc...and could afford any of them. Huracan...etc.....yet in that first drive of this car he signed up and bought one for his personal collection. And it got Harris' approval in a BIG way. He fucking loved it. Another guy who has driven them all. I think I'll take their opinions over you muppets who've probably never driven any of them.
No...they recognize it's an awesome car even when compared to the best of the best. All the chumps on youtube comments boards who are slagging the NSX....none have ever driven one, let alone compared it to cars like the 918 and P1. This NSX is a revolutionary car. Basically they're selling a (relatively) cheap regular production car that is only a small step below the 918/P1/LaFerrari but utilizes the same basic tech of electric support of gas engine. I bet the big three thought they would have way more time to market and sell this kind of technology and keep it on the "exclusive" end. But Honda comes along and basically says, fuck you...we can do that too. We'll build a six cylinder that basically rivals anything in your lineup short of your "hypercars" and we'll do it for 100K less than you. Now the big three are going to have to start adding this tech to their lower lines sooner than they thought.
I love the NSX exactly because it is unpopular. I've been to more than enough car meetings and I've seen more than enough Ferraris and Lamborghinis. They are mass-produced these days, and have become so common they are nothing special anymore. The NSX, on the other hand, is rare, exotic, and at the same time has true everyday utility.
Ikr. Usually when a car is unpopular there is usually a good reason and the car is too flakey (and might blow up or something). But in this case the car may be less popular but it has the fewest unwanted surprises. Kind of like the Lexus LFA.
The prices he showed in the video were over 200k. You can get a 488 or a Huracan for that same price. But the Huracan performante is fastest around Nurburgring for a reason.
my uncle who just retired as one of the managers for the Marysville Ohio acura factory got to take production model #0000 put for a day when it first rolled out of the factory... said he wanted to buy it after he started it
I’ve seen both the red Serial Number 0000 and the blue Concept-455 (the only concept not destroyed, used as an engineering testbed, more power better aero cause legality is less stringent) do a drive in the parking lot in the Honda Engine plant in Anna Ohio. Was nuts.
Agree with Doug. I don’t care it’s a v6. Not many predecessors have a v8 pushing 600hp. Especially for $160k(even at used resale prices). For Acura to achieve this on a budget in a v6 is phenomenal.
Sponsored by rockstar games. fun fact the jester came out before the nsx bc its on xbox 360/ps3 not just the next gen (xbox one/ps4) and rockstar discontinued updates for 360 and ps3 in mid 2016
Sold a McLaren MP-4-12C to buy a new NSX. It was the best decision I ever made because the McLaren though attractive in many ways was an absolute nightmare to keep on the road. I don't care that McLaren honored the $89,000+ in repairs for the 11 months we kept it! Transmission failure/problems, oil leaks, LED taillights failing, instrument panel lights not working, ECU replacement (2X), leaking struts, creaks rattles, electrical gremlins, parts availability etc. etc. etc. Christ what a beautifully designed but horribly executed and unreliable vehicle. The POS like our Ferrari 348 spent more time in the shop than on the road! Getting into an exotic car and having it start and actually be capable of going on a road trip without having to worry about a problem is truly enjoyable. The NSX is far more reliable, great at everything and better than the McLaren (even when the McLaren was working). The McLaren was never a great car but, it was better (even great at) frustrating and completely ruining your driving experience with its constant issues and breakdowns. Never again.
Grow a thicker skin if the truth offends you son. Or better yet, go buy your precious McLaren and share the experience of ownership & breakdowns. Then we'll talk.@Taha-Amine Belogbi
@@190Mark i think a 570 could be a awesome car. It has the looks. Performance and reliability u so desperately want. Also remember the 12c was McLarens first car of mass production.
agreed, im leaning hard at getting one more of a base model. amazing machine. 0-60 in 2.9 and 10.8 in the quarter and amazing around the track. turn the dial an it rides like a luxury car
Well I hope it goes down in value for the high mileage examples (maybe to like 60k) so it's within the vicinity of a normal person 😂 then appreciated again
@@juanordonezgalban2278 A diffuser is on the rear bumper, a lip is on the front bumper, a spoiler is something on the tail of the car meant to spoil the air to provide downforce while sacrificing aerodynamics, and a wing is something on the tail of the car meant to spoil the air to provide downforce without sacrificing aerodynamics.
It's pretty bullshit how the NSX is getting such negative press elsewhere, while the shitty BMW i8 is somehow loved by people. Let's compare the NSX to the i8. Price: i8 - 143k NSX - 150k Power train: i8 - 3 cylinder turbo, with electric motors. 357hp NSX - 6 cylinder twin turbo with 3 electric motors. 573hp 0-60 time: i8 - 4.4 seconds NSX- 2.9 seconds So, in conclusion, the BMW i8's performance is basically M4 level. The i8 is slow, has a inferior powertrain to the NSX, and costs around the same price. The NSX is getting supercars numbers, and technology wise, it's baby Porsche 918. The NSX is a 150k easy to drive, economic supercar killer, while the i8 is a useless overpriced plastic car.
shoo you can't take the price the i8 sells with all extra options and the price that NSX starts with (and you still took a lot less) and compare it. I would take the i8 anytime
The reason is simple: When you sit in the BMW i8 you feel as if you sit in a 150k car. When you sit in the NSX you feel as if you sit in a really fast 35k car. And now please do not come with 0-60 times. The Audi TT RS needs 3.6 seconds for that and costs a bit above 60k. If you want a good time to 60 for your money - buy the TT RS.
I find it hysterical that people call it ugly. If Ferrari was to slap their pretty prancing horse on it, they would be praising its "Italian Flair and precision" and "Italian craftsmen ship". They would be wetting themselves at showrooms and telling everyone how it's worth the $500,000 they would be selling it for.
The front of it looks like a Mazda 3. That mountain of mesh is fucking disgusting, and makes the car look like an economy car. The rear of it has that horizontal light line but they didn't commit to it like on the original car, like they were afraid to make it too interesting. It really does look like an accord coupe. Look at the aerofoil shape of the side windows. Look at those intakes at the rear quarter panels. Literally anybody could come up with that. It's like they took the average position and size of the features of every mid engined car ever and used that to make decisions. There is nothing to look at on this fucking car. It's got a cohesive shape, but no more than any modern family car. It's got bits of trim all over the outside of it that don't need to be there. Look at the fucking wing mirrors, what the fuck were they thinking?? Then look at the whole car. It doesn't break the mold in any way. This would be a really good design for a $50k accord type R. Or an altima coupe. This is the successor to the FUCKING NSX. It's a shockingly awful design.
ABCDE FGHIJK hell yeah man, I agree. They're not willing to accept or admit that these cars that are not designed by pininfarina, are exquisitely and meticulously crafted machines. I can only dream about owning a car such as that Acura. That is a gorgeous gorgeous vehicle but unfortunately it is way out of my budget for me to ever be able to purchase one
In before : But does it come with a bumper to bumper warranty? Is there a column I can read more about this car ? Show me your quirks or cool features Doug is the type of guy to
The reason this doesnt sell is its price, I can get a mclarean for the same price if they drop the nsx to 80 grand it will sell out faster then anything. The regular guy wants it while the rich guy says fuck this
@noone : except all the run errors the 2017 has, and super expensive service schedule on an old engine design that needs retiring, and being too heavy... etc. Merc's are mostly shitty.
N8yi Gaming My '17 civic also has the same one, and it's absolutely crap. I wonder what went through the designer's heads to get rid of something so practical and easy to use as a rotating button and replace it with a slider that is absolutely unusable when on the highway.
John Lawson ikr i own a 2016 fit and the interior accessories are pretty much the same.. this car would be better is if it was around 100 grand, with 200 grand I can buy a GTR
Juan Velez the new NSX should have been priced starting at 85,000 - fully optioned at maybe 110,000. At 185,000 I can get a pre-owned 911 Turbo S in very decent condition.
I think the best options in the current day are Honda Civic Sis. But might I suggest a V6 Honda Accord coupe from around 2004-2017, which are possible to get with 6 speed manuals which I think can be comparable to Integra Type R performance and with the V6, they sound and can theoretically be a budget NSX
Rj D oh so that's why the car looks like the most generic piece of uninspired shit with no manual gearbox and is bulky/overweight and nothing like a real NSX should be.
Damn, rewatching his old videos, I really appreciate the way Doug says "this" at the start of his videos now, like if he's putting effort into it compared to his older ones...
The gtr is a fat lard of a car and the nsx is a poor attempt at showing off their technology and COMPLETELY IGNORING what their customers have been asking for for 15+ years.
😍 that was such a beautiful car review, Nsx is underrated though it competes with other hybrid sport cars at this price range. Glad you made a wise review ignoring the earlier coments. Thumbs up for the Japanese engineering.
Sir, it is american. "the new NSX was designed and engineered in Marysville, Ohio, at Honda's plant, led by chief engineer Ted Klaus." (from wikipedia to backup my knowledge on it) Thank me later
I will say, I think the problem with the NSX is the same problem the Honda CRZ had: lack of understanding and swift judgement. These are partially hybrids, so people generally think of them as slow and unreliable and are often comparing them to a Prius. The way the Hybrid powertrain works couldn't be any more different though; It's there to assist with performance with the electric motor adding instant torque. It's almost like another form of forced induction where the instant torque from the motor adds a nice jolt when in the right gear. I almost didn't buy a Honda CRZ based on all the bad reviews. I'm glad I did though. It's fun to drive and when driven well in eco mode, it gets almost 55MPG. With the CRZ, reviewers either said the car was slow or poor on gas and it did neither well. I think it's a well balanced car. It is fun to drive with it's three driving modes and when pushed hard, it still averages around 32 MPG. I think it's really cool to see that a lot of the tech that's in the CRZ is also in the NSX. Maybe many people hate on these cars, but not seeing them everywhere makes them even more special to those who own them.
Amen. My CR-Z is the best balanced car I've ever driven. Great gas mileage and super fun in the twisties. It's worth noting that many of the bad reviews were of the ZF1 CVT which is a substantially less quick feeling car than a ZF2 manual.
Nah. The appeal to the CRX was the import scene... The cheap mods, the robust aftermarket, the cool factor and platform sharing. Parts were easily swappable from the Accord, CRV, Civic and CRX. All of these features were lost in the CRZ. I've owned BOTH body styles of the CRX. A 1986 and a 1991 Si... Both, of which, evoked passion from fellow Honda enthusiasts to make their cars BETTER, not to settle with mundane, which is what the CRZ sadly was. I had high hopes for it, having been a previous CRX owner. The CRZ was the CRX HF (high fuel economy) at best, but that wasn't what people wanted. And they never made a CRZ Si, nor was it upgradable. You gotta give the people something... The new NSX on the other hand, is an excellent all around supercar like an Aston Martin without the Armani suit and price. However it lost the simplicity that the original car had, and likewise, it's soul, in my opinion. Same with the CRX to CRZ. You can look to Porsche to see what I mean. The GT3 is STILL as analog as it gets (when it comes to driving), proving simplicity is still a highly sought after commodity in supercars. Honda, of all people, should have been able to pull that off.
Saw one in person, IT WAS GORGEOUS!!! Much better-looking than in pics and vids. Man, it was beautiful, so much more exciting-looking than the Audi R8.
I'm stuck between the Audi R8 and this NSX. I've just wanted an Audi R8 forever I don't know what to get. Don't really want to spend $200,000 but I'm fine with $150K...
R8 looks like some wider TT. NSX looks incredible. I was lucky to see first 8 cars that came to Europe. I almost droped the camera because of emotions :)
Peter P. Doug sees that as a great feature, even though he's quick to rip on other high end cars for using generic shared parts, he likes it on this car. This "review" is definitely not a paid advertisement. Definitely not. No seriously, this review is totally legit! 😂
Jake Burns well that's pretty much saying that the Ford gt is basic because it is made by Ford when actually it is a racecar with a ton of different things
Despite this car not selling very well, I really like it...the fact that switches are in places you would expect them to be is what I like most. You have your turn signals and wipers where thy should be on a car...you have your door locks and window controls where they should be. However, I don't really like those push buttons on the transmission and I don't like the way the radio has you swiping up and down to adjust volume. I would rather have a gear selector knob or even a typical gear lever. Other than that, i would probably buy this car if I could afford it.
Probably one of my favorite super cars because of how simplistic the interior is. Also it’s amazing how much up they can juice out of a 6 cylinder. The civic type r has 310 hp with a four banger
@@mraeece therefore they are unreliable. Its like turbocharging an old reliable 1,8 liter with 190 hp to 350 hp. RIP reliability. Im amazed that thosd engines are mass produced now tho
Illew Menadeh they come with forged internals from factory and are easily good enough for 600bhp. They’re not unreliable at all.if they were unreliable and had problems then why would Mercedes use the same engine for the next generation of the car lol. This is Mercedes A45 we’re talking about, no common faults at all and an extremely popular hot hatchback in Europe. If they were unreliable then they wouldn’t be thjs popular and they wouldn’t be modded. AMG Mercedes know how to build an engine maybe outside of Europe you guys think small engines with big Bhp are unreliable but in Europe they’re normal such as RS3, Golf R , A45 , Cupra 300. All extremely high power small engines cars and NONE of them are unreliable st alll hahaha. Pretty sure the cupra 300 comes with a big warranty.
I hate how people think this is the real version Honda themselves made this exact car it's just America slapped a Acura badge on it and called it theres tbh if I bought the Acura version i'd actually take the badges off and put on the Honda badge
Spoonzaza American cars actually built in the U.S are decent. Most "American" cars today are made in Mexico with parts from Korea and shitty design "improvements" (AKA cost cutting) from who knows where.
@@Chris-hn2md actually yeah, RSX and Integras had higher than normal death rates according to the IIHS stats. But I'm curious, how do you see the Integra for the current gen and how would it be different from the Civic Sport?
Adriano's Classic 500 it just costs triple of what the predecessor costs... so you would expect it to be a lot better and for some it isn't better at all.
10:12 THISSS kind of camera work makes you unique from virtually every other cartubers out there.

Also good luck with your new website 'Cars and Bids'.
Lol anyone who thinks that clearly doesn't know shit about cars and is just a pretentious douchebag. Bmw's are shit, have no resale or reliability. Only pricks think bmw's are good cars. Get a clue
I think that may be difficult now that they are more comparable to Tata and Smart than "real" auto manufacturers. Maybe they'll start by putting a larger gerbil in the Mirage and call it a sport.
Jeff DeVall Yes, totally agree....the first sports car I ever fell in love with. And now this new NSX is my 2nd dream sports car. However nothing compares to the feeling invoked when I would see a 3000tg on the street back in the 90's

ClumsyGarage the fact that people are mad about turbocharging cars is mind boggling to me, it’s fitted for a turbo which means turbos can be upgraded straight off without having to rebuild a naturally aspirated engine to fit a turbo. They made it a hybrid for instant torque, fuel economy is an added bonus, the 9 speed automatic was added over a manual for increased acceleration and instant shifts to keep a smooth acceleration from each gear. They engineered this car as a TRUE super car, completely evolved in every way from the previous generation.

dhalsim1 well he made an index showing the exact numbers. The M5 and Huracan who both do it in 3 seconds straight get a 10
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
@Channel Terminated yep
A huracan kills it in a straight line and in corners too mainly because of the nsx extra weight but dont exclude the nsx becase it costs less than a huracan and it can corner very well and stable

Probably not the interior though, but its debatable, but I would definitely buy it, I would choose this car any day, because this car was made to impress you, not others unlike Ferrari or Lambo
It's not often you hear Jay Leno simply say "I'm buying one" when he drives a car. A man that has an F1 and has driven all the big cars like P1 and 918 etc...and could afford any of them. Huracan...etc.....yet in that first drive of this car he signed up and bought one for his personal collection.
And it got Harris' approval in a BIG way. He fucking loved it. Another guy who has driven them all. I think I'll take their opinions over you muppets who've probably never driven any of them.
They drive all the cars so.....they wanna try something else
No...they recognize it's an awesome car even when compared to the best of the best. All the chumps on youtube comments boards who are slagging the NSX....none have ever driven one, let alone compared it to cars like the 918 and P1.
This NSX is a revolutionary car. Basically they're selling a (relatively) cheap regular production car that is only a small step below the 918/P1/LaFerrari but utilizes the same basic tech of electric support of gas engine.
I bet the big three thought they would have way more time to market and sell this kind of technology and keep it on the "exclusive" end. But Honda comes along and basically says, fuck you...we can do that too. We'll build a six cylinder that basically rivals anything in your lineup short of your "hypercars" and we'll do it for 100K less than you. Now the big three are going to have to start adding this tech to their lower lines sooner than they thought.
jay leno buys everything tho
He doesn't though.
Not to mention James May loves it too.
I love the NSX exactly because it is unpopular. I've been to more than enough car meetings and I've seen more than enough Ferraris and Lamborghinis. They are mass-produced these days, and have become so common they are nothing special anymore. The NSX, on the other hand, is rare, exotic, and at the same time has true everyday utility.
Ikr. Usually when a car is unpopular there is usually a good reason and the car is too flakey (and might blow up or something). But in this case the car may be less popular but it has the fewest unwanted surprises. Kind of like the Lexus LFA.
Like your mother's brother's nephew's grandmother's grandson

Agree with Doug. I don’t care it’s a v6. Not many predecessors have a v8 pushing 600hp. Especially for $160k(even at used resale prices). For Acura to achieve this on a budget in a v6 is phenomenal.

Sold a McLaren MP-4-12C to buy a new NSX. It was the best decision I ever made because the McLaren though attractive in many ways was an absolute nightmare to keep on the road. I don't care that McLaren honored the $89,000+ in repairs for the 11 months we kept it! Transmission failure/problems, oil leaks, LED taillights failing, instrument panel lights not working, ECU replacement (2X), leaking struts, creaks rattles, electrical gremlins, parts availability etc. etc. etc. Christ what a beautifully designed but horribly executed and unreliable vehicle. The POS like our Ferrari 348 spent more time in the shop than on the road! Getting into an exotic car and having it start and actually be capable of going on a road trip without having to worry about a problem is truly enjoyable. The NSX is far more reliable, great at everything and better than the McLaren (even when the McLaren was working). The McLaren was never a great car but, it was better (even great at) frustrating and completely ruining your driving experience with its constant issues and breakdowns. Never again.

Like how he didn't put "Here's why the Acura NSX is worth $156,000"as the title😂
It's pretty bullshit how the NSX is getting such negative press elsewhere, while the shitty BMW i8 is somehow loved by people. Let's compare the NSX to the i8.
Price:
i8 - 143k
NSX - 150k
Power train:
i8 - 3 cylinder turbo, with electric motors. 357hp
NSX - 6 cylinder twin turbo with 3 electric motors. 573hp
0-60 time:
i8 - 4.4 seconds
NSX- 2.9 seconds
So, in conclusion, the BMW i8's performance is basically M4 level. The i8 is slow, has a inferior powertrain to the NSX, and costs around the same price.
The NSX is getting supercars numbers, and technology wise, it's baby Porsche 918. The NSX is a 150k easy to drive, economic supercar killer, while the i8 is a useless overpriced plastic car.
shoo anyone that loves the i8 is an idiot. That wasn't up for debate
shoo you can't take the price the i8 sells with all extra options and the price that NSX starts with (and you still took a lot less) and compare it. I would take the i8 anytime
MustangNismo1969 the i8 doesn't come close to the top speed of 0-60 of the nsx
The reason is simple:
When you sit in the BMW i8 you feel as if you sit in a 150k car.
When you sit in the NSX you feel as if you sit in a really fast 35k car.
And now please do not come with 0-60 times. The Audi TT RS needs 3.6 seconds for that and costs a bit above 60k. If you want a good time to 60 for your money - buy the TT RS.
I'd take an i8 any day. I'd prefer to have some class rather than something ricers take pictures of out of their Honda Civic.

I find it hysterical that people call it ugly. If Ferrari was to slap their pretty prancing horse on it, they would be praising its "Italian Flair and precision" and "Italian craftsmen ship". They would be wetting themselves at showrooms and telling everyone how it's worth the $500,000 they would be selling it for.
ABCDE FGHIJK Yeah, there's allot of hate towards this car, I personally like it, and if I could afford one, I'd get one...
ABCDE FGHIJK new nsx doesn't share A SINGLE FUCKING DESIGN LINE with any ferrari ever made. please check your vision, sir.
The front of it looks like a Mazda 3. That mountain of mesh is fucking disgusting, and makes the car look like an economy car. The rear of it has that horizontal light line but they didn't commit to it like on the original car, like they were afraid to make it too interesting. It really does look like an accord coupe. Look at the aerofoil shape of the side windows. Look at those intakes at the rear quarter panels. Literally anybody could come up with that. It's like they took the average position and size of the features of every mid engined car ever and used that to make decisions. There is nothing to look at on this fucking car. It's got a cohesive shape, but no more than any modern family car. It's got bits of trim all over the outside of it that don't need to be there. Look at the fucking wing mirrors, what the fuck were they thinking?? Then look at the whole car. It doesn't break the mold in any way. This would be a really good design for a $50k accord type R. Or an altima coupe. This is the successor to the FUCKING NSX. It's a shockingly awful design.
ABCDE FGHIJK hell yeah man, I agree. They're not willing to accept or admit that these cars that are not designed by pininfarina, are exquisitely and meticulously crafted machines. I can only dream about owning a car such as that Acura. That is a gorgeous gorgeous vehicle but unfortunately it is way out of my budget for me to ever be able to purchase one

The reason this doesnt sell is its price, I can get a mclarean for the same price if they drop the nsx to 80 grand it will sell out faster then anything. The regular guy wants it while the rich guy says fuck this

the gauges look like they came out of a base camaro
the japanese flavor is missing

Sir Classic get a Honda
The purpose of Acura is to be a expensive luxury Honda....
get a honda then
I think the best options in the current day are Honda Civic Sis. But might I suggest a V6 Honda Accord coupe from around 2004-2017, which are possible to get with 6 speed manuals which I think can be comparable to Integra Type R performance and with the V6, they sound and can theoretically be a budget NSX
Luxury and affordable dont belong in the same sentence
Acura: The car isn't selling, what do we do?

😍 that was such a beautiful car review, Nsx is underrated though it competes with other hybrid sport cars at this price range. Glad you made a wise review ignoring the earlier coments. Thumbs up for the Japanese engineering.
Underrated? Ahaha
Sir, it is american. "the new NSX was designed and engineered in Marysville, Ohio, at Honda's plant, led by chief engineer Ted Klaus." (from wikipedia to backup my knowledge on it) Thank me later
@@notlNSIGHT lotus elise uses Toyota engine, so you credit toyota for powering it?
Saravana Kumar Uh, yeah. At least partially.
I will say, I think the problem with the NSX is the same problem the Honda CRZ had: lack of understanding and swift judgement.
These are partially hybrids, so people generally think of them as slow and unreliable and are often comparing them to a Prius. The way the Hybrid powertrain works couldn't be any more different though; It's there to assist with performance with the electric motor adding instant torque. It's almost like another form of forced induction where the instant torque from the motor adds a nice jolt when in the right gear.
I almost didn't buy a Honda CRZ based on all the bad reviews. I'm glad I did though. It's fun to drive and when driven well in eco mode, it gets almost 55MPG.
With the CRZ, reviewers either said the car was slow or poor on gas and it did neither well. I think it's a well balanced car. It is fun to drive with it's three driving modes and when pushed hard, it still averages around 32 MPG.
I think it's really cool to see that a lot of the tech that's in the CRZ is also in the NSX.
Maybe many people hate on these cars, but not seeing them everywhere makes them even more special to those who own them.
Amen. My CR-Z is the best balanced car I've ever driven. Great gas mileage and super fun in the twisties. It's worth noting that many of the bad reviews were of the ZF1 CVT which is a substantially less quick feeling car than a ZF2 manual.
tru
Leon McDaniels o
Nah. The appeal to the CRX was the import scene... The cheap mods, the robust aftermarket, the cool factor and platform sharing. Parts were easily swappable from the Accord, CRV, Civic and CRX. All of these features were lost in the CRZ. I've owned BOTH body styles of the CRX. A 1986 and a 1991 Si... Both, of which, evoked passion from fellow Honda enthusiasts to make their cars BETTER, not to settle with mundane, which is what the CRZ sadly was. I had high hopes for it, having been a previous CRX owner. The CRZ was the CRX HF (high fuel economy) at best, but that wasn't what people wanted. And they never made a CRZ Si, nor was it upgradable. You gotta give the people something...
The new NSX on the other hand, is an excellent all around supercar like an Aston Martin without the Armani suit and price. However it lost the simplicity that the original car had, and likewise, it's soul, in my opinion. Same with the CRX to CRZ. You can look to Porsche to see what I mean. The GT3 is STILL as analog as it gets (when it comes to driving), proving simplicity is still a highly sought after commodity in supercars. Honda, of all people, should have been able to pull that off.

"you're"
It almost feels like they paid him $15,000 just to make this video. Cause almost none of this stuff is actually cool....
ndgo I kinda like all of it. Though I think the mpg and the tiny electric motor should be laughed at in a doug like fashion
ndgo noticed how he tough the turn signs are so cool, lmao. smh
Robert Tang they don't seem particularly unique to me
Acura be lookin like a Snaccura
😂😂👏🏼👏🏼
Saw one in person, IT WAS GORGEOUS!!! Much better-looking than in pics and vids. Man, it was beautiful, so much more exciting-looking than the Audi R8.
I'm stuck between the Audi R8 and this NSX.
I've just wanted an Audi R8 forever I don't know what to get. Don't really want to spend $200,000 but I'm fine with $150K...
HgihAsFcuk audi R8 ofc
Kuma Inu I know, right? I saw one for the first time at Cars and coffee, and I LOVED it. Beautiful.
R8 looks like some wider TT. NSX looks incredible. I was lucky to see first 8 cars that came to Europe. I almost droped the camera because of emotions :)
Yeah it's stunning. I'd have one over an audi r8 without even thinking about it. Here in England, it'd also be much rarer than the audi.
Sweet $200,000 car and don't need to get use to a new radio, it uses the same radio in my sisters Honda Civic.
Nice!
Peter P. Doug sees that as a great feature, even though he's quick to rip on other high end cars for using generic shared parts, he likes it on this car. This "review" is definitely not a paid advertisement. Definitely not. No seriously, this review is totally legit! 😂
i agree NOW you dont have to pay $5000 for a new one when it breaks!
Peter P wrong
Well you know Honda pretty much made this car...
Jake Burns well that's pretty much saying that the Ford gt is basic because it is made by Ford when actually it is a racecar with a ton of different things
Doug isn't acting like Doug, to much positive. 🤔🤔
paid by acura to hype it up cause it isn't selling if i had the money id buy it
He got the car from the dealer. Of course he's going to say positive things about it.
Robrob Or, or, he likes the car.
Robrob too*
they have too many listed on autotrader, need to make that coin.
Man, I don’t remember him speaking this fast in these older videos.
sorry but I couldn't stop thinking of the Dinka Jester
Radox I was thinking the same thing. I’m surprised so one else in the comments mentioned it lmao
That’s where I’ve seen it I knew it seemed familiar
radoxdzn. Same here
when the jester was released the nsx was a prototype
Oh shittt I just thought of that too
Despite this car not selling very well, I really like it...the fact that switches are in places you would expect them to be is what I like most. You have your turn signals and wipers where thy should be on a car...you have your door locks and window controls where they should be. However, I don't really like those push buttons on the transmission and I don't like the way the radio has you swiping up and down to adjust volume. I would rather have a gear selector knob or even a typical gear lever. Other than that, i would probably buy this car if I could afford it.
same
Probably one of my favorite super cars because of how simplistic the interior is. Also it’s amazing how much up they can juice out of a 6 cylinder. The civic type r has 310 hp with a four banger
Xin Mercedes have 2.0 litre 4 cylinder producing like 380bhp. It’s crazy how these small engines produce massive power
@@mraeece therefore they are unreliable. Its like turbocharging an old reliable 1,8 liter with 190 hp to 350 hp. RIP reliability. Im amazed that thosd engines are mass produced now tho
Illew Menadeh they come with forged internals from factory and are easily good enough for 600bhp. They’re not unreliable at all.if they were unreliable and had problems then why would Mercedes use the same engine for the next generation of the car lol. This is Mercedes A45 we’re talking about, no common faults at all and an extremely popular hot hatchback in Europe. If they were unreliable then they wouldn’t be thjs popular and they wouldn’t be modded. AMG Mercedes know how to build an engine maybe outside of Europe you guys think small engines with big Bhp are unreliable but in Europe they’re normal such as RS3, Golf R , A45 , Cupra 300. All extremely high power small engines cars and NONE of them are unreliable st alll hahaha. Pretty sure the cupra 300 comes with a big warranty.
I admire this car because it has reliability and longevity, unlike other pricey sports cars.
Doug, blink twice if you need us to call the police.
DareToBeDeviant looool
that one got me lol
DareToBeDeviant hahhaahahahahahahha
DareToBeDeviant OMG LOL
DareToBeDeviant lmaoo im dead😂😂😂
This car should have been designed and built in Japan...
Jarl Ballin'
That's the problem, it's American
Jarl Ballin' EXACTLY
It was also designed by a women. This car is not exactly the kind of kind of thing that would promote that.
I hate how people think this is the real version Honda themselves made this exact car it's just America slapped a Acura badge on it and called it theres tbh if I bought the Acura version i'd actually take the badges off and put on the Honda badge
Spoonzaza American cars actually built in the U.S are decent. Most "American" cars today are made in Mexico with parts from Korea and shitty design "improvements" (AKA cost cutting) from who knows where.
Another review of a car I will probably never be able to afford.
Thanks Doug 👍
"The coolest color"
Kurwa Red...
Ja pierdolę
lmao
O kurwa polacy
No właśnie coś takiego śie spodziewałem. :D
Reminds me of the Chevy Nova.
😂😂
holy SHIT Doug! An "Acura microfiber cloth". WHOA!
SQUEEZEEE IIIIIITT!!!!!
Jonah Glassenstein don't forget the funnel!!!
Bring back the Integra, RSX for 2020
Those cars “killed” thier brand safety. But really both of those cars had high bodycounts.
@@spoada Really? A lot of people died from driving Integras tR's and RSXs'?
@@Chris-hn2md actually yeah, RSX and Integras had higher than normal death rates according to the IIHS stats. But I'm curious, how do you see the Integra for the current gen and how would it be different from the Civic Sport?
Kevin Spencer problem is American won’t buy it
The NSX isn't bad at all, like the new GT, people expect these cars to be worthy of the name. Call them something else and people will be objective :)
yeah, the only problem is it's not as great the previous nsx but has the same name...
Adriano's Classic 500 but the new GT is one of the greatest cars of all time this is a Ford Taurus with a weird grille
The new GT, while being a beast, is still disappointing to many compared to the old one...
yeah the new gt is only disappointing cuz it has a v6 instead of v8... but it still looks hot asfuck
Adriano's Classic 500 it just costs triple of what the predecessor costs... so you would expect it to be a lot better and for some it isn't better at all.
10:12 THISSS kind of camera work makes you unique from virtually every other cartubers out there.
This camera positioning is the reason we can relate with you because this makes you look down to earth (you are actually down to earth).
Please keep making your future videos in this style. Also good luck with your new website 'Cars and Bids'.
That volume slider in on the Honda Civic and everyone hates it.
*Man driving a Acura nsx 2017*
Nobody:
*Man driving a BMW i8*
Everybody: “wow my man in i8”
The i8 is shit
I8 doesn't compare to the nsx..
Lol anyone who thinks that clearly doesn't know shit about cars and is just a pretentious douchebag. Bmw's are shit, have no resale or reliability. Only pricks think bmw's are good cars. Get a clue
@@lonewolf3564 extreme view... But I can't disagree.. 😉👍
i8 is a hybrid M1 tbh lol. And fyi the M1 too back then was not designed to compete with any exotic even though it kind of is an exotic.
Saw one today, looks pretty cool
Cutlass Gaming I have yet to see one, smh...
me too. lol
I got a chance to ride in one last night. It was amazing!!!
Doug the type of dude to review his mother in laws quirks and features then give it a Doug score. 💯
first doug video ever that i couldnt finish. bummer doug, felt waayyyyy too sponsored. hope you dont continue to go this route
I wish Mitsubishi would make a new 3000GT-VR4
So do I, but at the moment, they wouldn't even be capable to make a new Colt hot hatch, let alone a new EVO.
Jeff DeVall and they made a crossover SUV named "Eclipse"
Jeff DeVall Same, I got a vr4, but would love a new redesigned 3k.
I think that may be difficult now that they are more comparable to Tata and Smart than "real" auto manufacturers. Maybe they'll start by putting a larger gerbil in the Mirage and call it a sport.
Jeff DeVall Yes, totally agree....the first sports car I ever fell in love with. And now this new NSX is my 2nd dream sports car. However nothing compares to the feeling invoked when I would see a 3000tg on the street back in the 90's
Thank you Honda for always keeping things simple!!! I love the simplicity on all the Honda models
4:14 Doug Pushin 🅿 way before Gunna. Truly a visionary
