Why was the NSX a huge failure?

Why was the NSX a huge failure?

-spent too long in development hell
-Ford debuted the GT right after they debuted the NSX and killed all of their hype

>sold like shit

at least it stayed true to its roots.

i remember when honda fangirls were saying the nsx would be faster than the gt. As usual I was right all along. A Honda isn't going to be faster than anything because it's a honda. it's slow

it costs as much as a huracan and comes with a STRAIGHT UP KMART INTERIOR

Because the superior Nip brand released the superior Nip car and it doesn't have an interior of a 30k Accord.

nothing about it is particularly exciting

>Designed by a woman
>Slow
>Doesn't have anything to do with its predecessor
>Over priced compared to the competition

I saw one on the road for the first time either today or yesterday.
It's underwhelming. But the 918 is also underwhelming on the road.
The NSX has less road presence than the c7, while lacking all the grace and elegance of the original NSX.

It was a failure because it lacked vision and passion. The concept, which looks exactly like production, debuted in 2011, and it looked good back then. But design language moves fast, and by the time it FINALLY released for production, everything had the sleek aggressive look which made the NSX look visually tame, not to mention that seeing this thing once a week in the automotive press means that people got so used to it, it wasn't exciting or new when it came out. It got delayed to fit the hybrid drivetrain into it, which is fine, but it ended up being sort of a jack of all trades/master of none, and couldn't really compete with the peers in it's price bracket. It would've made a fine car priced at $100k, but Acura wanted this thing to be an expensive, competitive Halo car. Boardroom meddling of trying to perfect it to use as a showroom advertisement, because God fucking forbid a company just make a sports car anymore, delayed this to the point where it couldn't even do that properly, and now they're practically begging people to buy them with added discounts.

So say goodbye to the S2000 succesor/Mini NSX, execs are nixxing that if they can't get the poster car out the door.

Crossovers.
