Jan 16th, 2013 |

Jan 16th, 2013 |
|
If you’re beginning to think Acura’s near-constant parading of its NSX concept is becoming a bit tired, we won’t argue. We’re incredibly excited for the car, but the automaker has shown the NSX in essentially the same form in Detroit, Beijing (where it was painted red!), and Geneva (with Honda badges).
