Itās taken me quite some time to warm up to the new NSX if Iām honest, but I think Iām getting there. For some background, I credit the 911 for making me a car guy. Our neighbor across the street had a 996 and he was nice enough to let me sit in it, and from that moment on, I was hooked on cars. Since then, Iāve really come to appreciate how steadily and carefully the 911 has evolved from generation to generation as Iāve grown up. When the new NSX first came out, I thought Acura went wayyyyyyy out over their skis with the tech. It seemed so detached from the purity and simplicity that the original NSX represented and way too video gamey and digital to me to be a rewarding driverās car. I still think that to a certain degree, but much less so than when it first came out. And hey, NSX does stand for NEW Sports Experimental, so by itās very name, it canāt be what a 911 is. Maybe I didnāt quite approach it with an open enough mind at first. Still, though, what Iād like to see is a RWD NSX - keep the rear electric motor for the torque fill and the electric only driving capability, but ditch the two front motors to get some of the organic feel back. Iād be willing to take the hit to the 0-60 and handling numbers to get that feel back. Just my thoughts, though.

Yes, the name is dumb, and no, I donāt love some of the exterior body cladding and interior design choices, but I actually appreciate the ānormal,ā āboringā driving experience, weird as that might sound. Iām just getting tired of all these new EVās that feel the need to be statement pieces and (figuratively) shout at everyone that THEYāRE FAST AND COOL and shove contrived marketing sex appeal down our throats, and I think itās refreshing that this is comfortable just embodying the classic Toyota philosophy: easy to live with, dynamics more comfortable than sporty, and built to outlast almost anything else. It may be NPC from a driving standpoint, as savagegeese often likes to say, but itās good at that, and that shouldnāt be held against it in my book.
