2017 Acura NSX - Jay Leno's Garage

Jay Leno's Garage

Totally underrated car. A phenomenal piece of engineering. Daily driver reliable and a world class super car.

[MetalJesusRocks]

Jay Leno really should buy a large piece of property outside of LA and create his own Top Gear-like track where he could really push these cars without having to worry about speed limits. Who's with me!?

[greennin]

i love how jay's detail knowledge of 1000s of vehicles over multiple decades is so vast at this point that when he starts asking some question (something like "my 2007 SLR has a different sort of electric seat, how does it compare to this ..." etc) the reps and engineers get nervous because most of them know less than he does. he's always very humble about it too, and always the first person to say he's obviously not an engineer :)

I remember seeing the original NSX as a kid on my street and I couldn’t believe it had an Acura badge. I didn’t know what to think of it. Amazing car and did change the supercar game. This is a great successor. I love this car. Powerful and fast but also could be used as an everyday driver

In about 20 years I think we gonna appreciate the new NSX for what it really is. Both old and new NSX are pretty unique for their respective era.

[stratplus]

I always admired the original NSX, beautifully designed and great looking car.

[libertywagon]

I have two teenage daughters and would be very proud if they could accomplish what Michelle has! A very attractive woman with a great talent in design! I love your show Jay and the way you respect the future of design! Thank you!

[jasonal]

What a great review! So comprehensive in every way down to the design and engineering detail based on discussions with Michelle and Ted. Thank you Jay Leno and your crew for making this possible. Thank you to Honda, Ted Klaus and Michelle Christensen for the development of an outstanding Supercar. Sometimes the best kept secrets are the ones that are mostly kept quiet and in the case of the NSX this couldn't be more true. Just like the original NSX it took many years for the world to fully appreciate its brilliance. The Lexus LFA being yet another example.

[Terpygrowz]

the rear haunches are my favourite part too, and the car looks great as well

[geesjohnson]

Jay says he LOOOVES them REAR-HAUNCHES...

I'll go with THAT...

[jeffkelly]

Looks very good from all angles, the teal blue is a nice accent.

[jimmykelly]

Love the lines! It’s so elegantly proportioned. The curves just flow perfectly... the cars cool too

[cw]

It's obvious how much Jay loves cars. I enjoy watching anyone who is living their passion.

[ARMYTRIX]

she knew what she was doing when she decided to go with those pants. #SquatIsLife

[DanyCesc]

I love this car! just bought my 2nd, NSX 2nd Gen. Great value, great tech and amazing warranty

[teddyboo]

Its 2025 and its still looks futuristic. Great job Michelle

[ericalbers]

Was not expecting that. She's as gorgeous as the car. Always loved the NSX. My dad's friend got one once they hit US shores. Rode in it a few times and drove it around the block once. It was like sitting in a jet cockpit.

All aluminum, beautiful, balanced, and plenty of power.

[ConsciousRobot]

"Alright, I gotta get one of these"
That put a grin on my face. I also love how the Acura guy was glancing over at Jay anticipating the inevitable grin on his face.

[CycleCruza]

I like the design on the designer as well.

[alechall]

I feel like it was yesterday that everybody was super excited for this to come out only for it to be immediately forgotten.
