Canceled > Amid the announcement of its third profit warning of the year, Honda has confirmed that it has canceled plans for the launch of a successor to the NSX supercar. The new V10-powered model was expected to arrive in the United States next year as an Acura, but sadly all development work on the car has come to an end.Honda CEO Takeo Fukui confirmed the plan in his end of year speech, saying that all development of the car would cease. Fukui also revealed that plans to introduce the Acura brand to Japan in 2010 have all been canned, reports Automotive News. > The news comes less than two weeks after Honda announced that it planned to pull out of next year’s Formula One season, citing financial constraints as the main reason. > Honda also announced today that it is lowering its annual operating profit forecast by 67% - its third profit warning of the year. The carmaker now expects its operating profit for the business year to March 31 to be ¥180 billion ($2 billion) - down 81% from last year. > Instead, Honda will focus on developing more fuel-efficient hybrid and diesel models, especially in the compact car segments. Plans for a minicar positioned below the Fit (Jazz) are still on track, as are plans for the CR-Z hybrid sports car.

Good. Maybe when the economy picks back up they can try again, and make it a proper MR setup like the original. ---

Sucks that they canned this. There were rumors of a V6 RWD lower trim model of it that would be more affordable for the non-superrich mofos. At least Honda is being reasonable and not blowing a bunch of money on R&D and focusing on what they’re good at. ---

Boring works for them I guess, though. Also there’s nothing wrong with the first two generations of the NSX. Sure, the leghumpers are annoying and how people try to class it as a supercar, but from what I’ve heard they’re really fun to drive and there’s quite a few of them out there running around at 300k+ miles.
