Its the same freaking company whether its in japan the US... your logic makes 0 sense.said_aouita;1046619 wrote:I'm guessing because it's another example of Japanese technology, which is better then most American counterparts.
I do think they will go for making it real car someone can buy vs the something like the LFA. I assume that is why they are going to make it in america, to have it competing more with corvette or something like that.

Yea. Was their any differences? Maybe emission laws and right hand vs. left hand drive. But, pretty much same car, I believe.FatHobbit;1046664 wrote:I think the previous NSX was Acura here, but Honda there.

I believe Japanese companies profit margin is different then many of the UAW ran companies, which results in newer technology and a better product overall.OneBuckeye;1046636 wrote:Its the same freaking company whether its in japan the US... your logic makes 0 sense.

I don't think the differences were significant. Acura is pretty much only in North America and China I think. Everywhere else they just call it Honda.said_aouita;1046681 wrote:Yea.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lexus_LFAIn the North American market 150 LFAs will be initially sold through a two year lease program much like the Ferrari F50. This is to prevent owners from reselling the vehicle for a profit.[SUP]

Interesting seeming now the orginal NSX was 90-110k

Thanks. I guess I just was a bit confused when I saw "Honda NSX" and then "Acura NSX" right below it. Don't know my cars that well.
