    Default That hybrid Supra is starting to look good...

    Honda unveiled their "Advanced Sports Car Concept" at the Detriot Auto Show today. Supposedly it is really a good idea of what the next gen NSX might look like, with a front mounted V10. I've got to say, this styling exercise makes the hybrid Supra look downright sexy by comparison...





    Blech.

    It's shaped like a big metal door wedge...

    Hey guys,

    You're going to hurt the VTEC guys feelings.

    IMHO Honda looks like it hired the same guys from GM that designed the 1990's cars. (I.E. the Olds Silloette, Pontiac Aztec, Saturn Anything)

    If they do that to the NSX...
    First the Ridgeline*, now this?!?! What's Honda putting in the design dept. watercoolers?


    * I'm not saying the Ridgline is all bad - it has some nice features. But damn its ugly!

    I like it way better than that monstrosity they call the new Supra. What a piece of dung...

    The styling actually isn't that bad. If they called it an NSX I would have to cut a few throats, but if they called it the Wedgie I would like it

    I agree... re-using the NSX name on such a completely different car doesn't sit well with me.

    That sucks. I hope they don't use that as the new NSX. That front bumper looks like a bad idea.
