I’m a long-time Honda/Acura fan too, but will forever dislike these EVs that Honda/Acura is partnering with GM to produce, they’re great compared to most other GM products, but they’re mediocre compared to most other Honda/Acura products
Honestly Acura should have waited and used the ZDX name for this since you can see the resemblance to the old ZDX in this vehicle. I think it looks good.
The name EVX would have been more fitting. I always thought it would be cool idea if Acura took the first gen NSX and recreated a heritage edition that looked like the original 90s on the exterior with current day sport luxury interior.
I had to come back to this video, what car manufacturers need to do is look at the sales of the Rolls-Royce Spectre, because that's a top-notch vehicle, flawlessly done and at the sales of BMW's electric vehicles, especially their 5 Series electric, because they are the only ones who are doing it right, their ICE and electric vehicles are identical with awesome quality and driving characteristics and they are BMWs above all, so no space is left for compromises, if they are not happy and satisfied with their sales, then nobody else should be persistent in conquering the electric vehicle market, because it doesn't exist, it's not about charging times, it's not about range, people just don't want electric vehicles and those who answer surveys are people who don't have anything else better to do and they are pretty enthusiastic about their future and the future of the world, positive thinkers who never actually do anything, their real customers are not filling out surveys.
I agree!!! 100% just because you use some of the design! And some being very little. This doesn’t scream NSX for me. Cool concept tho. Will be interesting to see what come of it in final production
I think Honda/Acura partnering with GM was a HUGE mistake, they could make WAY better EVs on their own, I got to sit in a new ZDX recently, it’s incredible for a GM, but subpar for a Honda/Acura
@@jordanplays-transitandgame1690 no, Honda/Acura could’ve done WAY better without GMs help, they just didn’t try, I wouldn’t want a Lyriq, Blazer, Prologue, or ZDX, especially when brands like Audi, Nissan, and BMW are all making FANTASTIC EVs
I totally support it if it's a high-end luxury performance vehicle adequately priced and targeted, with extremely good handling and acceleration figures.
Oof hopefully this won’t come true since Mitsubishi did that to the Eclipse name and called the crappy SUV the Eclipse Cross and heck same thing with Ford with the Mustang they called it the Mustang Mach E, plz Acura don’t make that mistake with the NSX name it has a lot of history that does not need to be tainted, it’s like Hollywood today trying to remake Scarface(1983) or Back to the Future why screw up something that doesn’t need to be messed with
What the what?! Does Acura not realize we are in a serious economic situatiin?! Maybe try building a quality INTEGRA not built in Ohio by blindfolded people using their feet? Sad.
I like the styling but it would be better if they would have put the NSX powertrain in it, TT V6 w/ hybrid would be so much better! EV just does not tickle my ...:)
This is one of those cars that does a boat too! I have seen this before but this is just the new version. I just wonder how they’re going to get it to float with those batteries!😂
I’m a long time Honda/Acura fan (been a fan since I was a little kid), and I plan to buy myself a facelifted 11th gen Civic Si towards the end of next year for my 1st car, but Honda/Acura partnering with GM to make EVs is more than a disappointment imo, I got to check out the new Acura ZDX in person, it’s excellent for a GM, although subpar compared to other Honda/Acura products, Honda/Acura could make WAY better EVs on their own
I thought alot could have been aplied to update the body,and update the human comfots and stuff, but keeping it a premium sport car ...its too bad they made a crossover out of the nsx namesake.my wife loves her new nsx
Give it chance. It feels like they are making a coupe suv just like porsche, audi and maybe even lambo. Give them time to clean it up. It may be promising. Im looki g forward to it. The rdx is too small for me, i cant swallow the price tag for the mdx when there are other great competitors in that segment, and the zdx is not attractive at all for me. So i have been looking at the cayenne turbo s coupe. Hopefully i can stay loyal to the brand
Honda/Acura EVs are some of the best GMs (aside from the full-size SUVs and full-size pickup trucks as that’s what GM is best at making) but simultaneously manage to be the worst Hondas/Acuras, this partnership NEEDS to end
0:55 - I don't know if the front resembles more these famous Japanese razor-sharp knives or the shark-on-the-rehab from "Finding Nemo"... Encountering any of them will end miserably, anyway... Can such a shape be NTSB-approved?
Using NSX on this crossover will water down the NSX name. The same thing happened to the Mustang. It all depends on if the ZDX sales are good, otherwise it will get scrapped.
A decent vehicle. Probably won't show up for a couple of years. By that time it may look dated. Honda has been moving like molasses. Part of their problem is that China and Asia in general is melting before their eyes, even though they have solid products. I am sure the mgt is baffled as to what to do. Meanwhie in USA they are doing just fine; CRV is regaining some share from the RAV4 which was clobbering them.
The front end needs some help, looks like a boat to me. NSX name should never be placed on an SUV. I know Acura can do better with their design, to me this will be a miss especially if they use the NSX name
You can't recycle the NSX name for a vehicle that is as far from an NSX as you can get. Nice try Acura/Honda. More power to you if you can swindle people into purchasing these based on a nostalgic badge and nothing more. By the way. It doesn't even look good in my opinion. If these see production. I will be surprised. For me. This is one of the worst concept ideas I have seen. Thanks for sharing either way, Joe. Very informative and thorough content like usual.
No EV will lead me into the future. My V6 pushrod Camaro gets 31 mpg on the highway, won't catch fire, and will last for years to come- including the tires!
Nope this is not it. Just ruining the NSX nameplate and converting it into an electric trash can. They can use random letters instead why use the NSX name? I get it’s for marketing purposes but why though?
OMG It's like they took a Toyota C-HR and made it more aerodynamic. Not the best styling. The should have called this a second gen ZDX that retains a coupe like styling. If Acura actually makes this, they would likely tone it down and maybe they would call it the NDX instead of NSX since it is a crossover/SUV vehicle.
Please dont put the letters NSX anywhere near that
I agree
😂
Thought this was just another new buick😂💀
That’s a Buick.
As a huge Honda guy and Acura technician.. YIKES!
I’m a long-time Honda/Acura fan too, but will forever dislike these EVs that Honda/Acura is partnering with GM to produce, they’re great compared to most other GM products, but they’re mediocre compared to most other Honda/Acura products
The ZDX is the only joint venture EV (with GM)
@@DavidSimpsonJr973 that’s good, I thought this new Acura EV was going to be a GM too, it def looks like one from the outside
Honestly Acura should have waited and used the ZDX name for this since you can see the resemblance to the old ZDX in this vehicle.
I think it looks good.
Agreed, it actually has a lot more 1st ZDX styling cues than the GM ZDX.
Short answer: No
Long answer: Nooooooooooo
Medium answer: Nooo
@@porfiriato84 haha true
Shorter answer: N
@@porfiriato84 😂
Not sure why I would want a performance vehicle with such a high center of gravity. Keep it.
It actually has a low center of gravity due to the battery pack.
Joe, I admire your openminded professionalism and reporting. This is one of those times, I'm afraid, when the answer is simply NO.
Trust me I know how you feel!
Front looks like they forgot to add rest of a bow off a boat. Due something Ferrari looking with front. Rest of it is spot on.
The name EVX would have been more fitting. I always thought it would be cool idea if Acura took the first gen NSX and recreated a heritage edition that looked like the original 90s on the exterior with current day sport luxury interior.
@@lczspeed the name NOPE works
Watching this while I recover from surgery.
“This is something…”. Yes, it is something that I don’t want to say. 💩
Is it an Acura or a Buick?!? 😆😆
Looks like a speedboat on wheels!
WHAT IS THAT THING💀💀

Joe and Lori and Steve keep up the good work real true and I love the video 👍
It looks great Joe.
My Series II V6 is still performing well on my 20 year old Buick. Just saying.
Oh wow! That is crazy!
This is 10x worse than when Ford put the Mustang name on that Mach-E.
I agree with you!
I knew they had a partnership with GM but this is literally just a Buick by it's design.
I think Honda/Acura partnering with GM was a HUGE mistake, they could make WAY better EVs on their own, I got to sit in a new ZDX recently, it’s incredible for a GM, but subpar for a Honda/Acura
@@CarGeek360No, if we go by Toyota, Honda was smart for partnering with GM to deliver even a remotely competitive product. Lyriq all day over the ZDX

Oh, no! The designers might be back on the same "acid" that got us the "Darth Vader visor", not long ago!!!😂
LOL You are hilarious!
Love your car video Joe
Thank you for always being so supportive.
@@RaitisRides Welcome
Look the vehicle itself is nice, but everyone and their grandma has an EV SUV coming out now.
I will believe that when it comes here to Canada thanks for sharing this video joe enjoy the rest of the day
You are very welcome Stephen!
Bring back the old names.
“Legend”, “Vigor”, etc.
Acura day !
It's neat. No NSX. So tired of crossovers. 5/10
Viva Acura!
Current TLX owner here, love the brand. Great design, but forget the EV nonsense. Put a small block V-8 in it.
Oof hopefully this won’t come true since Mitsubishi did that to the Eclipse name and called the crappy SUV the Eclipse Cross and heck same thing with Ford with the Mustang they called it the Mustang Mach E, plz Acura don’t make that mistake with the NSX name it has a lot of history that does not need to be tainted, it’s like Hollywood today trying to remake Scarface(1983) or Back to the Future why screw up something that doesn’t need to be messed with

Sad.
Everything's coming up the FUTURE!
good job Acura.
I love it. Make it a hybrid has engine. I'll buy it.
Why?
Am definitely going for this soon
Reminds me of the speed racer car lol.
I can see that some for sure!
Side profile looks good
Thanks for sharing your input on this one.
More EVs that nobody wants.. great idea 😂
Don't know until we see the interior and features..
Buick?
Good day Joe.
I like the styling but it would be better if they would have put the NSX powertrain in it, TT V6 w/ hybrid would be so much better! EV just does not tickle my ...:)
Will it be close to a model x plaid in performance 👀🤔
I would sure hope so.
This is one of those cars that does a boat too! I have seen this before but this is just the new version. I just wonder how they’re going to get it to float with those batteries!😂
Did Acura use midjourney to create this thing?
When is the next unveil

Buick 🎉🎉
What's with the nose?
💯
It will stand out like the Tesla p/u truck.

Another EV 😐
I like the forced child labor from the Cobalt Mines necessary for EV batteries.
Glad you like slavry, too.

That looks like an upscale Mach-E honestly (side picture) /shrug
It looks like a Buick Envista.
You are not the first person to say that!

It’s the original Tron Vehicle.
The side looks OK. It’s the front, that not even tolerable.
Are They Making An Acura NSX Performance SUV???
0:55 - I don't know if the front resembles more these famous Japanese razor-sharp knives or the shark-on-the-rehab from "Finding Nemo"...
Encountering any of them will end miserably, anyway... Can such a shape be NTSB-approved?
me 111 on the f-ing LIKEs oh yeah. Joe - these HQ reports are mean sweeeeet. thanks for bringing us the juicy news. tony stewart
🤎🤎🤎🤡
I can clearly see the door lines it’s a 4 door.
Top looks like Model Y
I see it if I squint!
Buicura
I like what you did there Dani!
Thats suppose to be an NSX???? No, acura. No.
Acura playing it way too safe with performance!! Recent Acura nsx was a let down, seem they haven't learned their lesson 😅
Using NSX on this crossover will water down the NSX name. The same thing happened to the Mustang. It all depends on if the ZDX sales are good, otherwise it will get scrapped.
It's clearly a 4dr
Did they say it would be an NSX? If not why speculate negatively. I wont comment on that hypothetical. Do I like the style, yes.
A decent vehicle. Probably won't show up for a couple of years. By that time it may look dated. Honda has been moving like molasses. Part of their problem is that China and Asia in general is melting before their eyes, even though they have solid products. I am sure the mgt is baffled as to what to do. Meanwhie in USA they are doing just fine; CRV is regaining some share from the RAV4 which was clobbering them.
Previous gen ZDX which attempted this was sales flop, why insist on revisiting that failure?
There’s no way this is an NSX! No way they can call this nsx! I’d call it the NS Mess!🤣
Doesn’t Acura know 2025 is 4 months away 😂
😔 😟 🙁 😥 😞 Acura: BIG Letdown!
Exactly, Acura EVs would be infinitely better if they weren’t based off GM products, Acura has talent, why would they rely on GM?
Yep! And think they would do great with Hybrid Technology! Wasted potential! Take a page from Honda! @@CarGeek360
If anybody buy this future suvs when it comes out please make sure it a good reason think wise before buy any car design. Specially EV.
So EV sales are down because no one wants them but the auto makers are still pushing them lol ….
The front end needs some help, looks like a boat to me. NSX name should never be placed on an SUV. I know Acura can do better with their design, to me this will be a miss especially if they use the NSX name
Literally a Buick😂
LOL It really hurts looking at it.

Where in Ohio? I’m in Cincinnati.
That is a great question!

NSX badge on that thing…no Honda, please don’t.
Better looking than a Teslas but still don’t like electric cars

I do like the looks but yah leave NSX alone . Why not EVX
