It Will Be As Popular As The LFA
Here's Why I Think The Acura NSX Will Fail As A Halo Car
Acura doesn’t have any cool products to back up the car’s launch.
When Audi debuted the R8, it designed the entire brand around the car, with new products, and new engines, and new styling, and enough LED lights to power the Chicago metropolitan area for an entire summer. But once Acura hooks enthusiasts with the NSX, what can they offer? The TLX, with its 2.4-liter 4-cylinder engine? The ILX Hybrid? The mommy-mobile MDX?
Unless Acura can follow up the NSX with a slew of cars designed to capture the enthusiast market, it won’t be a successful halo car. It’ll be an aberration: a unique sports car from a brand otherwise devoted to boring, mainstream luxury cars. And once the NSX is gone, enthusiasts will continue to remember Acura exactly the same way they do now: as the brand who once gave us the mighty Integra.
