First, that's a really dumb video on the web site, and I seriously doubt that they're going to ship the car in candy-apple red, or that it will ever sound like it does in the video.

Second, is all that steering claptrap worth the effort?

Third, to be taken seriously it is just plain time for Honda/Acura to offer a V8 option, and maybe a two-wheel rear-drive option.

Fourth, where the *hell* is the NSX they've been teasing for three years now? When will it make its way from Tony Stark's garage to Jay Leno's? Not that I'm ever going to drive one, but I'd like to watch a few zip by.
