Why was the NSX a huge failure?

That Lexus is OBSCENELY FUCKING UGLY. Holy shit who drew that shit show, some gook with downs?

is every part of making a car some sort of hell now? this a new ebin meme?

As long as we're shitting on acura's design team, what the fuck is going on with the TL's rear doors

Because it was designed and developed by Americans
and yet it did not sell in the US
and It was too much american to sell in Japan

I wish they'd make a version of it with just the ice engine and no 4wd.
Or hell a competitor too the 4C

Don't know. I saw at least two Acura NSX in the 90s as a kid and I thought they were beautiful and I lived in podunk.
I've never seen a neu-nsx. Not even once.

because the original was a failure too

>Why was the NSX a huge failure?

1) It took too long: The concept debuted in 2012 at NAIAS, but the car was ready for sale until 2016.

2) Fabled predecessor: Even though the original NSX was sorely outdated by the time it went out of production in 2005, the time between the first and second generation spanned over a decade. Without an immediate successor to tarnish the nameplate, this allowed the first car to ascend into legendary status by millennials.

3) Price: The old car was competitively priced when it debuted. The new car costs roughly 3x as much and doesn't offer much in way of performance.

4) Honda in motorsport: When the first car came out, Honda was on top of the world in Formula 1 with McLaren and had Senna to endorse it. Today, Honda's embarrassing performance in F1 led to McLaren dropping them as engine suppliers. The new car also had mediocre results in GT racing as well unlike the old car which had won a championship.

Isn't it one of those cars that plays engine sounds through speakers? Also fuck all these modern technological luxury car wonders masquerading as supercars. Old supercars were just street legal terrifying race cars which was why they were cool in the first place. Not that I'll ever afford them anyway, but still. I would hope any rich car guy would just buy an ultima or something similar, and let the rappers by this shit.

Obviously not marketed to actual Acura buyers because of price tag. Then the 1% who can afford it is buying something else.
