blogentry-133713-0-28410500-1504520374_thumb.jpgWhile Honda has recently announced plans to increase its NSX allocations to the United Kingdom as demand outstrip supply, the car isn't doing so well in Australia.

 

According to CarAdvice, the Japanese brand has only sold two NSXs in the country since the model was launched last year. Even though Honda says it is working on three other orders, the amount of units sold is still pretty little compared to the amount sold by its rivals. Audi has since sold 21 R8 V10 plus this year while Mercedes has sold 72 units of its AMG GT. Even the aging GT-R Nismo has been sold to 21 owners.

 

However, Honda doesn't seem concerned as Public Relations manager Neil McDonald said the NSX is halo vehicle and it "wasn’t positioned, nor was it expected, to chase outright volume sales."

Well, I'm sorry to say this, but the new NSX can't hold a candle to the old (and still great) NSX. It's a watered-down compromise model.

i think it's a no brainer. R8 and amg gt vs NSX. you have to be a DAMN big NSX fan to choose this over the other 2.

And in the SG context, other choices abound for the ridiculous price point of the NSX set by Kah Motors. You can get a Huracan for the same amount, give or take a few 10k.

 

The only people this would appeal to are crazy Honda fanatics who've already got a stable full of supercars so they can afford to throw away a lot of dosh on an overpriced underperformer just to complete their collection or scratch an itch.

 

What I said doesn't apply to cars like the Lexus LFA, that actually gave mind-blowing performance and were worth the money for the exclusivity and the whole experience that came with it. And of course, the Nissan GTR is an even cheaper supercar alternative.

F type R and AMG GT are actually MUCH cheaper and A LOT prettier than NSX, haha.

 

Really no brainer.

I believe one "smart" guy in SG bought it. Most likely waiting for it to become a limited edition since not many will be built just like the Lexus LFA ...expensive ,, but is it worth it?

  • Are forums outdated? I try to find out by asking AI

    Is your boss asking you to explore and learn how to use AI to improve the quality and efficiency of your work? Yup, you aren't the only one in that boat.  Whilst exploring new AI tools, I figured: Why not use it to answer some burning questions that I have? This time, it was about whether forums are outdated. Yes, forums like this one that we are on. I remember how before social media became popular, and before apps like Carousell existed, forums were where I chatted with others t

    Why oolong tea could be the superior drink of choice at lunch

    Coffee - without sugar! - has long been (and still is) my go-to option to accompany my lunch. Amidst a larger 2025 goal of reducing the number of cups of kopi-o kosong I gulp down a week, however, I’ve recently thought about how my lunch experience can be switched up slightly with yet another sugarless drink: A can, or indeed bottle of oolong tea. Oolong tea is said to offer a perfect balance of flavour and functionality - perfect not just for complementing one's meal but also reinvigo

    Ready? Steady? Slow!

    Have you ever watched on of those baby crawling races? They are hilarious. I watch a lot of NBA, and sometimes they have these races as a halftime entertainment. And its hilarious because unlike most athletic races, there's an inherent unpredictability and chaos to these things. They get distracted, they get bored, they get tired. Babies doing baby things, you know.  Well, England thinks it can one-up the absurdity of racing: Introducing to you, Snail Racing.  It seems almost

    Cordless vacuum cleaners: A young adult's best friend?

    Every young adult probably arrives at the same point when they’ve started working for a few years: Household chores start to become more enjoyable. Don’t get me wrong – they don’t have to be one’s favourite activity on earth. But chores start to make sense: An environment that’s put-together is always a welcome haven, whether it’s returning home after a long day out, or simply staying in over the weekend (or when you’re working from home.) As a young adult myself, I've come to appreciate an
