It was recently reported by AutoExpress that Honda has shelved plans to build the Acura/Honda NSX supercar. Honda made no comment on the report that said Honda pulled the plug on the 600-hp supercar due to the economic slowdown.

Well, Autotelegraaf is now saying that Honda will bring the final NSX concept to the 2009 Detroit Auto Show next month. The report says that the concept will be very close to the final production version which will make its debut at the end of 2009 in Tokyo and 2010 in Europe.

The news comes a couple days after Toyota announced that it will still bring the Lexus LF-A to the market by 2011 despite the current economic situation.

I'm with Pat, I'll believe it when I see it. Honda already printed the summary of the year end speech and it had the following:

"The development of the NSX successor model equipped with V10 engine will be cancelled."

SWEET!, Thank God they didnt cancel it! The new NSX will lay the smack down on GT-R/ZR-1.

I have learned that you never know what to expect from Honda.

Perhaps since they have a prototype already that far along, they are going to bring it anyways even tho they have no plans to build it.

Wouldn't be the 1st time Honda brought a concept that they had no intent on building.
