Looks like a sleeker BMW M6, don't like it..... 
For there flagship, its very boring
and non -exotic, the old NSX still looks better for a 15 year old design. Thats what happnes when you design a timeless car instead of a timely one....I know its only concept but for there first attempt, its rather poor.

I don't like the look of it either, and it does not look like a mid-engine car.
Sounds like they have 2 prototypes already ...

not sure why they want a V10. A V8 they could use in other vehicles, and its not like V8's don't get love. Ask Ferrari.

I know the NSX, and that sir is no NSX.
I do not like it at all. I am in agreement with the others. It looks like they bred a BMW and Mercedes together. I hate the idea that they are going to make it frount enjine. I have lusted over the NSX for years and drove one for a couple of weeks. I ended up not buying it, but I can't see the prototype being as sexy as the old NSX.

From what i understand, the Japanese automotive media are notorious for making their own artist concepts and photoshops of upcoming cars. I think that's more what this is, and I pretty much guarentee it didn't come from Honda.
And yes, the HSC is an infinitely more beautiful concept. That's not to say I don't like this one. But it doesn't even look real, it looks like a chopped M6 or SLK. And it doesn't really fit in with Honda's design direction (remember the NSX is first a Honda, not an Acura).
While there was some word that they might make the new NSX an Aston Martin competitor, more recent rumors have again suggested it would be more of an exotic supercar.
