What Do You Want To Know About The 2017 Acura NSX?
What Do You Want To Know About The 2017 Acura NSX?-May 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:09:54

Happy almost-Independence Day. We’re celebrating with a real American supercar, the Ohio-built (and largely American-engineered) . Ask me stuff about it.

We tested this car a year ago, but this is the first time your Jalopnik staff gets to spend several days living with Honda’s new supercar. It’s spending the weekend at my place.

It’s true that the NSX was stuck in we’ve seen recently. And it’s true that the car is often dismissed out of hand by the keyboard warriors for being too big, too heavy, too ugly, too hybrid or too far from the original. (Which , in case you’re wondering where my perspective’s at on this one.)

I have finally figured out what the new turbocharged, hybrid, all-wheel drive, 550 horsepower 2016…

It’s also true that pretty much every take I’ve read on this car, including our own, has been overwhelmingly positive. I’m eager to see what it can do for myself.

As you’ve probably seen, the new NSX packs a 3.5-liter V6 with two turbos and an all-wheel drive hybrid system good for a total of 573 horsepower. As I write this the car is parked across the street at our office in Manhattan, waiting to be unleashed. I’ll do that later today.

But for now, what do you want to know about it? What should we include in the review?

Sticker’s $205,000, by the way. We’ll see if it’s worth it.

The Alfa Romeo 4C Shames Every Other Sports Car On The Market
“We’ve come too far to give up who we are.” Most of the time I was driving the , I was listening to Daft Punk’s 2013 release Random Access Memories. For Alfa Romeo’s return to the United States with a glorious new sports car that is better than everyone thought...

Today’s Jeep comes with a unique feature, that being a fiberglass body. That means it’s never going to rust up top, and getting it through the TSA should be a breeze, but for all that will its price make your eyes glass over? Okay, so was yesterday’s really a Viggen...

The Volvo V60 Might Be Old, But It Isn't Ready To Die
The Volvo V60 Might Be Old, But It Isn't Ready To Die
The Volvo V60 T6 R-Design is a 306 horsepower all-wheel drive family hauler that has one big trick up its sleeve: it’s just a damn nice place to be. [Full disclosure: Volvo Hungary was nice enough to give me a V60 for a couple of days, so I went to...

Today’s contender is ultra-low milage, and will let you tell everyone that you drive a McLaren. That is if you drive it, which would possibly lower its worth. Before we get there however, let’s see what you think it’s worth now. Yesterday’s may have been plastic, but according to its...

For $2,500, This 1990 Mercury Grand Marquis Will Stick It To Ya
While we generally love stick shifts in everything from Miatas to riding mowers, there’s just something wonderfully incongruous about there being one in today’s Mercury. Let’s see however, if its price will keep you from becoming the Marquis de sad. Pontiac’s advertising once touted that We Build Excitement, Pon-tee-ack! Well,...

What Do You Want To Know About The BMW M4?
What Do You Want To Know About The BMW M4?
This is the perfect M4. Why? Because it has carbon brakes, a manual transmission, cloth seats, and that’s it. What do you want to know about it? I’ve already driven a new M3 (), but it was optioned up the ying yang with things I just didn’t want or need....
