Work on the next-generation has been completed and you can breathe a sigh of relief because it has been totally redesigned from the fugly 2007 Detroit Auto Show concept.

Recently, rumors have been circulating the internet that next-generation Acura NSX will be priced to compete with Ferraris and Lamborghinis.

Being a bit skeptical like most of us, our friends over at AutoBlog, contacted Mike Spencer, an Acura press contact, who confirmed that his comments were taken out of context and that an official price on the next NSX is still yet to be determined.

Bet rest assured the NSX won’t...

I hooked up my accelerator to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.

Anything over $80K for this car is hubris.

Would you say the same of Italian exotics? If so, that's very snobbish of you, and that makes me sad. :-(

you could argue that any car over $20k is hubris.

With the Audi having a base at like 108k (120k with options) I would think that the NSX will probably be around the same.

I think the LF-A will be around 150-180k though. That care has a lot of hype, and will need to back it hard if they want the F Line of Lexus cars to be taken seriously.

Acura has already proven that they can build a very balanced and successful supercar, but Toyota has yet to show off all their goods. This LF-A needs to spank the GT-R.

You seem to have forgotten about the Toyota Supra TT.

if Lexus sells the LF-A for that much money it's success is not going to be dependent on it "spanking" the GT-R. That's Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Maserati, and Aston Martin money. None of those spank the GT-R, and they don't have much trouble selling them. Someone buying a car that expensive isn't driving over to the Nissan dealer to cross shop it with a track car that's 1/2 the price. They buy them because they want them and want the image the car portrays. That doesn't mean I think the LF-A will be successful at $180k, I have no idea. Just that if they price it that way they'll have other things dictating sales success that don't involve the GT-R (such as people wondering why they should buy a Lexus when they could buy that Ferrari/Lambo/Bentley/Aston Martin/etc. for the same money).
