god i hope not . all the specs sound good, but it's ugly as sin and the interior is just :ghey: .

 

[posol]

its a concept car though. Remeber the RSX concept pics? they look NOTHING like the actual car- other than the basic shape

that thing is fuckin ugly
i dont know what the fuck car companies are thinking... its like a competition to see who can make the ugliest piece of shit

Holy shit, it looks they pullled three ricers out of high school and and them draw up a concept. I wouldn't be suprised if it did replace the NSX, but I AM suprised that the NSX has lasted this long--90,000.00 for a 290 hp V6? The fact that it's a Honda and a mid engine RWD still would not convince me to buy it for that price.

its like a competition to see who can make the ugliest piece of shit

In that case, the Toyota Echo and the Pontiac "Ass"tek are pretty damn close. The echo looks like a car with Downs Syndrome, and the Aztek seriously looks like a piece of bullshit.

Let's not forget the new Civic Si. Car manufacturers are apparently racing to see who can design the end-all of ugly cars.

Remember- concept cars are design studies, not prototypes... well, maybe not for Chrysler.

it is more likely that only a few ideas from this car will actually go into production.

for instance, the designers may like the public's reception towards a particular aspect of the vehicle,

and they will then go back into the design room and use what aspects of the prototype they think will

be appeasing to the consumer.

can someone help me think of that kinda-famous concept vehicle that turned into a best selling car?

The Element and the new Civic scare the sh!t out of me. These tell me that the DN-X is just some really phucked up concept. I have always loved Honda but why do they feel they need to make the concepts as tacky as GM concepts. I know the 2-tone (3-tone, 4-tone - whatever it is, I am too disgusted to look at the pictures twice) would not ever stay into production so why the hell do they put it in the concept. I like the idea behind the DN-X but the styling is just obscene. The rear view isn't that bad - Acura finally realized that seimi-circle, flattened beachball looking taillights (as seen on the CL) look like sh!t but they shouldn't look like small loli-pops that got stuck onto the bumper either (like on the DN-X). The side view looks like some retarded attempt to poorly emulate some car from the old Super Nintendo F-Zero game. The front view isn't all that vomit-inducing but it still looks like a cheap GM concept. The interior makes me want to kill somebody. The Jetsons cartoon sucked, the Jetsons vehicles sucked - so why the hell does Honda insist on giving us these nasty Jetsons-looking interiors in their concepts (DN-X, Element, RD-X). Give me a real looking interior. If the rest of the S2000 wasn't so damn beautiful the digital one swoop redline read out would ruin the car - so they got lucky there but it won't be easy to repeat. I sound like I hate Honda which couldn't be further from the truth but the DN-X concept brings out everything that has been pissing me off about Honda in recent years. If I may, let me build the DN-X right here for Honda: Keep the engines and AWD and Supercar-Sedan idea. Loose the interior and instead replace it with the IS300's interior. Keep the rear size and basic shape just make the taillights and shape classy and somewhat reminiscent of the last Prelude (God rest it's soul). Make the overall shape of the car like a smoothed out Legend (God rest IT'S soul) with a shorter trunk and lower. Keep the overall shape of the front end but for my stomach's sake fix those turn signals and make those headlights a little bigger (just a little bigger Honda, I'm not asking for another disgusting bugeye RSX looking headlight set) and bring the seperate lights a little closer together. I am sorry for going nuts here but the DN-X is just the last hit I can take before I had to open my mouth. I love Honda's and no matter how ugly they get I will probably always own only Honda's but please give your loyal fans what they want. I understand that the Civic and CRV has to be bland to get all those people who just want a bland reliable car. That leaves Honda with several models to have fun with, so have fun without being disgusting radically nasty. Why can't you aim those vehicles at your loyal fans rather than movie producers who might be looking for a futuristic looking piece of sh!t to place in the background of Back to the Future IIII. Instead of trying to make vehicles that might be normal looking 30 years from now they should make vehicles that look beautiful now.

He said it all. That is ugly, no, it's uglier than ugly. Bash the NSX how you want, but it has it's nitch. I'd rock one.

Wow, that really did say it all. It was like he was reading my mind.

Hello and welcome to like 3 years ago. They had this as a honda in the Tayko autoshow like 3 years ago and has been in every mag at least once a year since then. Ugly as hell? Hell yes. Interesting concept? Hell yes. 400 hp, 40mpg, shit loads of trq, AND a hybrid car? I would rock the technogoly, not the car.

 

[sportlinecrx]

that is definitely the UGLIEST new concept car ive seen. its a 400hp HYBRID! the interior looks like a spaceship, not a car. but those pedals are SIK yo!
