It was a mistake to delay it in the first place. Sure there was a global financial melt down, but they'd already done so much of the work. It's not like other high end manufacturers halted production either. Introducing a hybrid later on into the product life cycle would have been perfectly acceptable. As it stands, the only NSX we'll get is going to be a hybrid. Surely all of those Jazz and Civic sales offset the overall emissions stats? Ah well, I hope it's not a soft and numb car that does 0-60 in around 5 seconds and has a black, plastic interior.

Hope If Honda will finally release a production version of new NSX it will be quite something like LF-A or at least GT-R.

If anything, it should compete with 918 performance as a hyper hybrid at a Japanese bargain price. perhaps not the HP figure but at least, the fun portion. anything less would be disappointing.

I am sure it will continue out of the "ROOTS" of the original NSX. They proved you could have a super sports, hand built daily reliable car at half the price that could keep up with the best with great mileage.

I used to work at Honda in Tokyo. I wondered about the direction of the NSX, definately one of the most underrated sports cars, after production ended. I think saying this is the hybrid NSX is incorrect. In everyone's mind, the NSX was a special car. Now that Honda is coming out with a hybrid version, it ceases to be the same NSX everyone is familiar with. So, Honda should just give it a diferent name.
