Honda confirms new NSX for 2010

[dascrow]

Devotees of the late, great Acura NSX – and that's just about everybody, really – have been waiting patiently for the second coming that once reportedly based on the Advanced Sports Car Concept shown above, but Honda keeps on making us wait longer. While there's still more waiting to be done, at least there's a light at the end of the tunnel, as Honda has revealed that the new NSX will make its debut in 2010. Sometime.

The second-generation Japanese supercar was anticipated for a launch this year at the Tokyo show, but we were disappointed when the Honda pavilion was absent of any such high-performance wizardry. Since the cancellation of the original NSX, TSX and Prelude, the aging S2000 roadster has been left all alone to defend Honda's honor on the sportscar front, while Nissan gets all the glory with the new GT-R.

The new timeline is a bit later than the 2008/2009 launch date that was originally set down by Honda CEO Takeo Fukui, but if it manages to live up to its predecessor, we doubt anyone will be grumbling. After all, who recalls at this point how far behind schedule the Bugatti Veyron fell before its eventual debut?

Honestly, I'll never be able to afford one, but Honda getting back in the sports coupe business is great news!

don't they mean RSX, not TSX?

I just hope Honda brings it... because it's already been broughten by Nissan.

It would be nice to see Honda get back into the sports car market. IMO the Acura line has become too luxury biased and less sporty.

there has been witness already of a new NSX test mule on the track...no not the stretched s2000 we have all seen but a JGTC NSX elongated to house the new 3.4L v8 for new regulations in a FR platform. Many think this is a disguise for testing a new drivetrain/platform for the honda FR V10.
