The first-generation Acura NSX arrived in North America in 1990 to critical acclaim. Could a supercar be reliable? Could a supercar be easily used as a daily driver?
Apparently.
But the second-generation Acura NSX has a more difficult hill to climb. The first NSX lingered for 15 years and lost much of its original luster. The second NSX was confirmed for production nearly a decade ago.
Huge changes in the second-gen NSX’s format, numerous delays, and rapid advancements in the high-end sports car market has made the eventual arrival of the actual Ohio-built NSX less of an event than it deserves to be.
