Ladies and gentlemen, it’s time to discuss the new Acura NSX, which is a mythical beast whose existence has been debated since the days when we first learned what a “hanging chad” was.
For those of you who still don’t know about the new NSX, allow me to enlighten you: it is a high-dollar, high-performance, highly stylish sports car designed to remind automotive enthusiasts that Acura isn’t just for people who keep tissue boxes on the rear parcel shelf. But I believe it will fail.
Now, before I get into this, I know what you’re thinking: How could you possibly say the NSX will fail?! It’s not even OUT YET! And it looks so COOL! And the specs are so IMPRESSIVE! And they had that great Super Bowl commercial with Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld, right before Joe Montana threw all those touchdown passes to Jerry Rice!
And I admit, it does look pretty cool. The aggressive lights. The angular design. The low-slung, exotic car look. The Ohio manufacturer plates.
