Jay Leno really should buy a large piece of property outside of LA and create his own Top Gear-like track where he could really push these cars without having to worry about speed limits. Who's with me!?
+MetalJesusRocks Brilliant idea!
They are ridiculously expensive but maybe just maybe some crowd funding could help and a few more celebrities.
+MetalJesusRocks or you could use Willow Springs for $100/day. :)
It's the same principle as owning a private jet vs renting it. Monthly cost will destroy you vs renting a whole track for yourself.
Its a great idea but its really expensive
Totally underrated car. A phenomenal piece of engineering. Daily driver reliable and a world class super car.
I feel like it was yesterday that everybody was super excited for this to come out only for it to be immediately forgotten.
Mainly forgotten because of McLaren 570s... and quite possibly the Lotus Evora 400 or 430 or Evora gt?
It's just big. It's nice. It's fast and quick. It is well done Just the design language doesn't have original NSX emotion. A great spec sheet and meeting regulatory needs doesn't light a fire.
It's died the same way lfa did. Overpriced, underperforming, & competition is better value
It’s because when the new NSX came out, all the competitors put the same numbers up 5 years earlier
This newest NSX is all about technology. The original NSX was about great performance (for the time), achieved with relative-simplicity, reliability, and lightness. It was artful (at least, with the original concealed headlights), a "Japanese Ferrari," and it represented the epitome of what we loved about Honda, the company. This newest "NSX" should have a different name.
22:20 gotta love the way she says "nice and big" ! Leno's cough right after suggests he loved the way she said it too 😁👌
Ahahaha
she knew what she was doing when she decided to go with those pants. #SquatIsLife
squaddd
+ARMYTRIX I love her Walmart pants! This girl has class!
+ARMYTRIX
Yeah like, really! We all see what she's doing. Iol
But hey, I guess if you have it, flaunt it... even if it's on Jay Leno's garage and you're representing your car company. hmmm???
+drunkandgreasy LMAO!!!!!!
o yeah she squats lol 👍
i love how jay's detail knowledge of 1000s of vehicles over multiple decades is so vast at this point that when he starts asking some question (something like "my 2007 SLR has a different sort of electric seat, how does it compare to this ..." etc) the reps and engineers get nervous because most of them know less than he does. he's always very humble about it too, and always the first person to say he's obviously not an engineer :)
Tell me what you know about those "Naval Base Buildings" in San Diego.
Bruh... you're giving him wayyyy too much credit, and letting your admiration get the better of you. Regarding what he said about the seats, he was literally just saying that it's a bit hypocritical/contradictory for a super/hyper car (which are supposed to be all about performance, which means being as lightweight as possible) to use powered seats because they are easily more than 10lbs heavier than manually adjustable seats, mainly due to the fact that they need an electric motor strong enough to push/pull the weight of a full grown person + the weight of the seat itself. Many, many motor journalists make this exact same comment when reviewing other supercars/performance cars, completely ignoring the fact that almost all of them (including the NSX as the engineer guest pointed out) offer *both* manual and powered seats in order to satisfy the needs of both the hardcore track customers, as well as the more easygoing grand tour/daily driver customers. This engineer was particularly awkward/nervous for some reason, but it definitely wasn't because he was "intimidated by Jay's depth of knowledge". He was most likely nervous about what his boss will think of his performance in this review/interview, and how the video will be received by the public. He seemed like he was also just totally unfamiliar with the format of these videos, and didn't know what kinds of questions to expect. I would've thought that professionals like him would've at least watched 2 or 3 videos on this channel ahead of time so he could've at least *tried* gauge how things were going for him by comparison.
I got a chance to drive one of these at a track in Las Vegas, wow, what a car.
I abused that car through several laps, hard turns, WOT, braking as hard as I could push down on the peddle, and there was no smell or signs of overheating when i parked, it was as cool as when I first started it up. Wish I could afford one, they are fantastic cars.
I did a 59.4 there at Exotics Racing in the NSX. I couldn't get the hang of it lol
That moment when you are here to see one ride but would rather leave with another.
In about 20 years I think we gonna appreciate the new NSX for what it really is. Both old and new NSX are pretty unique for their respective era.
Yes! I really hope we do!
Looks very good from all angles, the teal blue is a nice accent.
+Jeff Kelly I agree :)
I remember seeing the original NSX as a kid on my street and I couldn’t believe it had an Acura badge. I didn’t know what to think of it. Amazing car and did change the supercar game. This is a great successor. I love this car. Powerful and fast but also could be used as an everyday driver
What a great review! So comprehensive in every way down to the design and engineering detail based on discussions with Michelle and Ted. Thank you Jay Leno and your crew for making this possible. Thank you to Honda, Ted Klaus and Michelle Christensen for the development of an outstanding Supercar. Sometimes the best kept secrets are the ones that are mostly kept quiet and in the case of the NSX this couldn't be more true. Just like the original NSX it took many years for the world to fully appreciate its brilliance. The Lexus LFA being yet another example.
Why so many haters? This car looks gorgeous! Acura is stepping up!
exactly!!!!!!
nothing about it is paying homage to the true NSX. It's not even being born at the same plant it's being made in America yet some people still want to buy it.
wow! this honda civic looks really good!
looks like a flattened civic, and yeah, not anything like the classic NSX.
Surprise folks !!! Jay is a Honda Hater. Honda brand was his favorite jokes in the 1970's -1980's. to make the TV audience to laugh until they drops. Seriously lol.
I KNOW ITS SO BEAUTIFUL
5:58 "I always loved the rear." We all do, Jay. Lol.
Tou Vang hell yeah 🤟🏻
Are you talking about HER rear, or the car's?
Does Jay realize that both the car and girl have a nice rear?
Notice he DIDN'T do his Kardashian joke re: the rear end!!!
@@keithwestford6924 you think?!!
The OG NSX is still beautiful!
I love this car! just bought my 2nd, NSX 2nd Gen. Great value, great tech and amazing warranty
@God's Com'n Some are selling for 100k now with low miles still, the difference between 2017 to 2020 is only noticeable if you plan to track it.
Pretty hot and the car ain't bad either.
lol
+pedrof830 Totally agree.
+pedrof830 agreed jay is looking real cute these days
+barfyman362 I guess we both like a man with some gray on his head!
+barfyman362 No, I meant the chief engineer! LOL
Thumbs up if you stayed because of the designer. Those genes!
The male engineer looked scared shitless when Jay hit the throttle
Love the lines! It’s so elegantly proportioned. The curves just flow perfectly... the cars cool too
Fap alert 🚨 🤣
Jay says he LOOOVES them REAR-HAUNCHES...
I'll go with THAT...
No WONDER the NSX looks so good from the back.
too bad they ignored the front
😄
3 NSXs in different colors showed up at our cars and coffee event last year and they are even more beautiful in person to see. It's great to hear from the designer and the engineering manager how they and the NSX team designed and built the car. I'm watching this 4 years after this video was made and it still seems current. I would love to drive an NSX one day! Nice job Jay and crew! 👍
Sad thing is they aren't selling very well at all.
Jaw droppingly beautiful. And the car looks way cool.✌
I always admired the original NSX, beautifully designed and great looking car.
Michelle has a beautiful chassis. Would love to check out her exhaust.
You'd be scared if she dropped those tights.
ME TOO I WANT TO SEE THAT EXHAUST! SHE IS SO FUCKING HOT!
Who knew teal pants could look so, so good.
Exhaust, head lights, everything!
I love to see a woman that can fill out jeans in the right way.
She’s very careful to not turn that rear end towards the camera,,,
If you don't want it visible, stop accentuating it with lycra and turquoise. 👌
why dress like that then? shes coming out everywhere
@@joelbennett9014 subtle.
@@joelbennett9014 Yo man that was very very tasteless and immature!
And I love it 🤣😂🤣😂
Hahah
It never ceases to amaze me how many people have never seen a woman in their life
It’s unfortunate but yeah. Sex is that mainstream that men are completely addicted to it.
Its also what you get when a woman shows off her body which man are wired to like. Personal responsibility both ways.
I am sorry but no matter how many women you see, nature has just geared men to want to mate an attractive mate. To deny nature is plain stupid.
@@jitkr1489 that's not true. some men are more perverse than others. it all has to do on your childhood, and how addictited you are to the other sex. A beautiful woman will call attention, but a more childish man will drool over, while a more mature will appreciate it and carry on.
My pee pee go shpweeee
I can appreciate a good song, a nice car, a stylish building and an attractive woman. It's what makes life worth living since I was 5
I like the design on the designer as well.
Lol well said
Definitely
What's up Cruza!
the outer work / shape is fine... don't like the paint tho!
Well designed😎
Wow the new accord looks good in black!
Lol. I think that went over a lot of folks heads
+9/11 insidejob Rather take the bus than sit in a basement with a tinfoil hat on my head.
Tinfoil hat that's an awesome retort. lol thats all you can afford bro, shits stale as hot ale.
+Jim Garrity honda and acura is technically the same thing because it has the same engine
+Twist Revenger or the same company lol
Jay, your comedic commentary makes the "thing". Thank you. 🥰
Thank you for answering a question with a question.....you are the best
THe old NSX still looks so freakin nice.
2nded
You Drive a Ferrari to impress others, you drive a NSX to impress yourself !
So all the feats performed by Ferrari in Motorsports are nothing? Ferrari became so popular because they devastated every other manufacturer on the track.
@Blasian Babies ford did won but did they won as much as Ferrari did? No.
Yuv.S Estd.98 Ford won, and dropped the mic!
@@enyionyeobia5103 ya ya
😒
@@BruDia until Carroll Shelby came along.
I love that when Jay asks a question he does listen to the answer he asks another question before there done 🤷🏻♀️
As a long time Acura owner and fan. There isn’t any other car marker that crams technology into their base models. Can’t wait to upgrade to the 2021 TLX Aspec
OMG I'm in love!!!!! That's the complete package! Cars nice also lol
I'd rather have the original.
Seriously
+Dylan Cutchins Yep. I would choose the original all 365 days of the year.
+Ricardo Costa, i would rather have the new one, even tho i dont think it looks anything like the original.
Klaus Knudsen
You have changed my mind.
I now want this car, so I can sell it and get the original with money left over for tasteful mods.
+Ricardo Costa 366 days this year :P
27:32 he was just bursting to say something when Jay suddenly speaks and the guy picks out the word quiet and repeats it back to Jay... IDK why but this little exchange cracked me up
Conser Vative to be honest the whole segment was awkward.
SOLD! Most I've seen J smile on a drive.
I have two teenage daughters and would be very proud if they could accomplish what Michelle has! A very attractive woman with a great talent in design! I love your show Jay and the way you respect the future of design! Thank you!
SQUATS!
😍
+Moby Green
SKWAATS!
Spreadie to the Gods, that's gonna be good for the core!
Statistically you will probably get less attention from the police in a black car (or white) of the same make and model then red, yellow, orange or any one of those colors young blond girls seem to delight in. I know that sounds a little feminist, but it only takes a little paying attention on the road to understand that it is mostly a true statement.
Im definitely in love with this car.
I like seeing Jay smile while driving the curves
"Alright, I gotta get one of these"
That put a grin on my face. I also love how the Acura guy was glancing over at Jay anticipating the inevitable grin on his face.
$
so how much do you think Jay payed for her?
She was a pleasure to look at. The car was nice too.
@31:12
When Jay says those magic words,you know you have arrived.
In style,no less.
Saw one on the freeway the other day. Amazing looking car.
Classic Lines, with futuristic elements wrapped in light blue, still out of my price range.
@asteinmann LOL.
The new NSX is an underrated car....
Agreed. Just like the original was for many years. People are so slow to realize what's in front of them....really slow.
th-cam.com/video/7QteZvX4IkU/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/v0CeYU1qGlY/w-d-xo.html
And lets not even get into reliability..
Yeah most people just think about Lambos and rarris. I can’t stand seeing people like these youtubers that come into a little tiny bit of money and go and get a lambo. I personally think they are tacky at this point
Love one of the ending comments from Jay, "I think I'm going to own one of these!"
Back in '92 (ages ago) one of the guys on my high school rugby team was given an NSX, as a graduation present.. It didn't last a wk...wrapped it around a pole on graduation nite..He was fine, thankfully...too much power for a kid, but lotsa fun for a responsible adult..
"so you're sneaking out of your neighbor's wife's house, you wanna have it in quiet mode"
lol the engineer totally missed that gem
LeiserGeist lol
The engineer has no sense of humour
That engineer seems like a knob. No personality.
droid0311 agreed - I can guarantee jay won’t have him back on the show again ...to be honest - the girl engineer had no personality either
I would just hop over the fence instead of driving.
@@198634 a girl like that doesn't need a good quality personality, just great assets and we all know that's where she shines XD
the rear haunches are my favourite part too, and the car looks great as well
My thoughts exactly!
All I can say is.. wow.. I’m in love. With the car secondly. First with her bumper and curves.
Someday I will be like Jay Leno, "alright I gotta get one of this" we all know he will!
Imagine a vtech v10 engine. Would be insane.
@Daver G imo you wouldn't really want boost on top of vtech, yeah it can be done but its probably not good for the longevity of the engine.
Definitely would smoke all other v10s especially if they figured out a way to get low end torque.
Imagine the sound!
@Daver G do you even know what VTEC is? You do realise that one of the advantages of variable camshafts is a quicker spooling turbo?
Lfa sound and than with a vtec systeem perfection
She designed the car to look like herself. thin in the front and wide in the back
Haha savage
yes
Hahah!! Nice and thick
she looks better then the car.
+invisibleaznDJ Her rear end looks awesome !!!
Every car guy's fantasy. Jay brings on the designer and a super intelligent babe who's a car geek steps out! Doesn't get any better.
It’s cool to be able to say I think im gonna order one of these
i think i was checking her out more than the car! love the pants!
0 to 60 in 2.7-2.9 certainly is not slow last time I checked!
I've watched this video at least 4 times and I just love this car.
There is a car in this video?
From Honda.
I wouldn't expect less. That's a badass car!
Every car in its segment like the R8, 911 Turbo, AMG GTR are all far more impressive.
It's obvious how much Jay loves cars. I enjoy watching anyone who is living their passion.
"The largest trunk in the industry." And yeah, the NSX too...
She makes it difficult to look at the car.
What car
True, what a design on her. 🙈 She is gorgeous. Smart too
@@Targetverified82 she said "CHiMSL" center high mount safety light, and all I heard was the M part 😉
Loved the part when Jay was praising the "haunches" - I had to laugh.
I don't see it, but to each their own. Haha...I wouldn't deny anyone's beauty, but that's an EXTREMELY bold statement.
a very smart young lady god bless her!!
they should've stayed with the V10. Just imagine a Honda V10 that thing will scream and the reliability would be intense
That would be awesome
Given this car is faster than the Aventador lambo even though the lambo has 100 moreHP.. I think they did well with this motor
Lol - this car is not faster than the Aventador.
It just beat it in a drag race.. Its definitely quicker with the drivers in this vid. Plus its new. The Aventador while cool its old news. I do like the new one
In my opinion, this car is way too expensive for what it is. The price tag should be sliced in half
I think the car is beautiful and a work of art. I dont understand why some people are so critical of this car. Its stunning.
The people from the car companies always look a little nervous waiting for Jay's reaction. Then when it's clear he loves the car you can literally hear a sigh of relief.
Jan:2022 Terrific show Jay, two wonderful Honda/Acura qualified guests!
Thanks.
Richard
Jay orders one like he is ordering a pizza. Must be nice
+Sjrick NO ONE SHOULD HAVE THAT MUCH DISPOSABLE INCOME. ULTRA- HIGH TAXES IS MY BAG.
+Sjrick I'm firmly convinced Jay thinks supercars are like Pokemon; gotta catch them all!
what? That's not an nsx, it's a jester...
They stole the idea from GTAV they had too aha looks Yeaa just like a Jester lol
+mttrsll7 The NSX was already out as a concept before GTA V came out.
+binit shah Do you not understand sarcasm?
+A Tiger Cub I do now lol, some people don't know that so might as well put it out there
+mttrsll7 Almost people can't buy Real Jester. The real is for rich.
Jay is right taste is what is left after you are satisfied. I use to work for a honda supplier we done the electronics on them. So I probably had some hand in the nsx at some point.
Love how when you have a passenger and you get on it you can always tell when they get nervous. They start looking at the speed o
"We used alot of pure heritage aspects, keep it simple, and timeless..."
Hybrid battery system
No manual option
Nailed it.
The design not the machine
@gilbert martinez Still has a waiting list.
@@itsthatbeeguy the chick? She pribable does have a waiting list. The car? No there ia not.
I love the little vocalization of triumph the chief engineer makes when Leno says "Alright, I gotta get one of these!"
All I can say is wow, my sister s a big Honda fan but I always felt they were to light and not rigid enough so buying any Honda or Acura was out of the question. I watched this entire segment and was intrigued.
Jay you seem like a hard guy to impress and watching your reaction and hearing you say “Yeah I’m ordering one of these” says a lot about the car.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks but keep the Acura version... I'll take one with a Honda badge.
exactly
+1.
Do you even know what Acura stands for?
Acura is Honda tho😕😕😕😕
+cosmodave69 The word "Acura" means nothing in English, as the names of 70% of the products around us also don't. Acura is an ancient word for the god Mercury, that's where we get the word "accurate" from. Among other things, Mercury was the god of precision.
The only work of art I see is Michelle's body.
you put it better than i could...
You can tell that she lifts
yeah bro..I'm havin bad thoughts
Man you guys must be married to some fat chicks?
Not at all. But even God loves the Good and the Beauty..
Honda makes some of the most synergistic vehicles on the planet, and they do it for far less money than what one might expect to pay for that level of performance, handling, and reliability. I can feel it even in their least expensive models. This car must be an absolute blast.
This makes me hope Gordon Murray will present a GMA T.50 with Jay one day.
Came for the NSX, stayed for the girl.
Oh yeah😍🥰🤩😍
Creep
You can ride Neither
Her design is really amazing. If you know what I mean
Yeah, we know what you mean.
Luiz Almeida she got a nice rear end ;)
Yeah I love those "rear haunches"
Michelle Christensen is designed great all the way around and so is the new NSX.
TastyYumYums lol. yeah.... well designed rear quarter panels.
I've never seen a car that amazingly pulls off a black paint job better than this. Handsome and sophisticated especially in this color.
the new nsx is glorious
The curves on the rear end are amazing.
+deke441 you must be talking about the lady?
The car looks good but her pants look better and cheaper too ahha
xD
her pants sold me on the car.
+Gesso Martin booty
+Gesso Martin Nice rear end.
I would like the back up camera options plz
One hell of a beautiful car, love it
I love the flying buttresses just behind the doors!
It's so nice to see a hot chick talking about cars.
Came for the car, stayed for her.
+Roberosein Someonesmomovich yes my friend. I was having mixed feelings of excitement, car or girl. She took sexy to a whole new level, when Jay Leno talked about her background, and the Shelby she came in, but when she started talking about the car functions... My head exploded, and you know what I mean by that :))
+Nick Fiscina LMAO you see get what I mean :)
She made me come........to view the car, comon all, clean up your minds :P
Came for car, stayed for the car
Abso"Fucking"lutely...
1:15 wow finally someone admits that the italian cars break down alot , thanks jay and yes i do have the nsx and never had a problem with it and thats why i bought the 2020 nsx 130r white .
Jay your one hilarious guy love it I remember when you came johnstown Pa. To do show you met my brother at airport we're he worked miss your late night shows.
Not sure this is the best colour to show off the car in. Love how enthusiastic Michelle is. She obviously loves her job!
And her pants stole the show ...
yeah man, they should've went with lime green with a hint of babyblue!
This girl is a keeper
17:34 best scene ever
Man you are right you made my work so easy thanks man thanks now i need oil or some lubricant ..
thank you! wow....the lucky guy who gets to play with that at night...
and 17:14
Dat Azz Doe
I love the rear haunches too, Jay.
