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?

  • 23 years on, Infernal Affairs remains the best gangster movie I've watched

    TL;DR It's over two decades old, but Infernal Affairs remains THE gangster trilogy. *SPOILERS AHEAD* *SPOILERS AHEAD* *SPOILERS AHEAD* The Hong Kong Police and a triad have placed moles in each other's ranks. Tony Leung is Chan Wing Yan, an undercover cop desperate to leave his assignment. The antagonist is Senior Inspector Lau Kin Ming (Andy Lau), a decorated policeman who is actually a mole for Hon Sam (Eric Tsang), a triad boss. It's a game of cat-and-mouse, with poli

    Curry does not exist?

    Curry. When many of us think of Indian food, we naturally think of curry.  Except, well, 'curry' isn't actually a thing. Not the word, and not even technically the food that we think of.  Many of us probably think of curry as some sort of dish that has a gravy or sauce. But that is in fact a generalisation of a wide variety of Indian dishes, and also a decidedly Western invention intrinsically tied to India's Colonial past. 'Curry' as a word doesn't actually exist in the languages spok

    The art of doing nothing?

    Here’s a quick fun fact for those who’ve sworn themselves entirely off TikTok, out of the fear of having to run yet another social media account: You don’t actually need to log in to the app to scroll it. Quite incredibly (but also quite scarily), the platform’s algorithm is still able to curate an incredible array of videos that it thinks will make you want to keep scrolling. And for this existential-crisis-ridden 28-year old, it’s decided to feed videos more along the 'self-help’ route re
