When it comes out I'll believe it.

During NSX Fiesta in November of 2010, all of the Honda execs past and present, were falling over themselves telling us that there isn't any "new" sportscar planned. We said we knew and were obviously disappointed.

Considering that Honda has conceptualized two NSX replacements with one being 95% completed...meh, I'll believe Honda when a finished product is actually in a dealer showroom or in my garage.

Honda has no sports cars anymore. All the legitimate sports cars are gone (NSX, S2000) and the sporty ones are also gone (Integra and Civic Type-R). The Civic SI has fallen behind greatly, enough so that the Mustang V6 is a better choice. The 2600lb 130HP CR-Z is their new "sporty" car.

Don't count on it.

Seems to me that once the hybrids and electric cars' prices become reasonable comapared to gasoline "sports cars", I think we won't be disappointed with their performance.

Most of you guys may not remember (too young) but the same thing happened to the US in the 80's and early 90's. And even after that Honda still only got it half right (yeah Honda Civic Type R, I'm talking about you!).
Honda already has an NSX replacement, its called the HSV-010GT. Honda is just waiting for thr economy to recover so they people can afford it when it comes out at its $100k price.

This was the original thought, or rather likey was, but as stated previously, Honda has cancelled the idea of an NSX replacement. However, it's old news so I'm not sure why the HSV is being brought up again.

Bucc-i

Because Honda has stated that they have no new sport cars in development. The HSV isn't new, is it.

Ponyboy

It's not a replacement if it doesn't exist. The HSV is a SuperGT race car not an NSX replacement.
