It's a hybrid. Therefore, (in my opinion, to satisfy certain members)it's crap.

That's the single most close-minded garbage response I've read in a while.

I wouldn't get your hopes up. First honda has to build it, which they have been claiming an nsx successor was coming for quite a few years already. when/if out comes out, I'd put money on out that it has base c7 performance with a Z price tag. I do hope honda works it out, it is a beautiful car, but I fear that it will turn out like the gtr, over complicated and over priced.

That's a steep price. I really can't imagine that there's any car out there worth that much. I think the market is getting pretty stupid on pricing, still making the Corvette that much of a bargain.

I would LOVE a hybrid super car. But paying 225k for a Honda doesn't sit well with me.

Cool.
I suppose some people would take a dinner at Ruth's Chris steak house over one at Outback steak house as well LOL.

Considering that the previous, very slow selling Honda NSX retailed for over $90k when production ended many years ago I can only imagine what this new one will cost.
But hey, it's your money.

Why exactly? What problem is solved with more complexity for a super car? For econo cars I get it, but for super cars, I don't.

Power, performance, and economy, I am still amazed at what they did with the LS2/LS3/LS7. I think it compares well with anything out there even today.

the NSX, Jag, Viper, etc.... will probably be much more expensive and/or have less performance. There are cars I love more now than the C6, but nothing would touch it for the price/performance.

Well after seeing what the prices may be Ill stick with a C7 or a '10 GS
It's all going to depend on how the interior is on the C7

The design did not appeal to me at all. They had this at the NAIAS.

That's the most rude comment I have read and a while. We're even.

It's my opinion, I am entitled to it. In my opinion, adding hybrid capabilities to any performance car ruins it. With all the fuel-saving technologies available these days, a hybrid simply seems pointless. Especially in the form of a performance car.

Don't like it? That's fine. You can have your own opinion. That's how it works.

And why is this thread even in the C7 section?

you've missed the point of the hybrid performance car. it is NOT the same thing as a hybrid fuel economy car. please research. aside from possible added weight, there is no negative thing about it.

and you comment was not an opinion. it was a attempted statement of fact. if you had said "it's a hybrid, therefor I do not like it", that is an opinion. but saying "hybrid=crap" is a false statement, not an opinion.
