近年的Honda/ Acura....老實說,有點撲朔迷離。
先是Acura,上代TL 其實很好看,性能在當時也算高,特別是Type S,可與大堆性能車較一下長短。要說缺點就是FWD。
其後Acura 致力開發SH-AWD,這個AWD應該是現時數一數二的系統。無奈Acura 不知從哪請了個無間度designer,全系列產品都換了個盾牌頭,令消費者卻步。
另外變速箱,引擎開始落後對手。對手全都轉到7速甚至8速雙離合,Acura 還一直用5,6速的。引擎方面,不少型號的馬力都輸對手。無奈的Acura 一直不肯開發V8, 不肯用turbo (其實有一台,但就只一台),不肯用direct injection,結果就是不是輸馬力就是輸油耗,不知該說是堅持還是固執。
Honda 那邊也好不到哪裡,Accord 還好。之後說要力推hybrid (現在也是),弄了架CR-Z 出來,說是首架sport hybrid,讓人興奮非常。最後出來的CR-Z,聽說比CR-X 還要慢,還要吃油。(雖然樣子我覺得是不錯)
還未到最慘,最慘是老招牌Civic。比之前4還是5年一次改款花多了一年。出來的,樣子沒怎麼改變,沒有變好,只有變老實。要知很多買Civic 的,都是20出頭的年青人,那個樣,corolla 可能也比它young。Civic 內裝也沒有變豪華,反而是變膠,用料明顯變cheap,多了很多膠。Si 的引擎也沒有上代的8000rpm,扭力是加了不少,但就少了樂趣。CEO 出來謝罪時竟說因為金融海嘯,本田選了用減料來增加利潤,卻沒想到對手反而加料,令產品更抵買。這種想法,真不要得。
其實我還有不少想吐槽,不過已不想再說了。總之,本田在一月Detroit Auto Show 公布了好幾輛concept,其中之一更是搶盡風頭,無他的,就是新一代的NSX。
本田其實有一輛超跑在Super-GT 比賽,叫HSV-010GT。當年應該是打算拿來做NSX 二代的,但又因為經濟不景,計劃中途豁置。直到現在!
老實說,我是比較喜歡HSV 的外型,比較有殺氣。
新NSX 的spec 未落實,但應該會搭載一個NA 3.x L V6引擎推後輪,兩個馬達推前輪,是新一代的SH-AWD。
我覺得,這輛NSX 要成功,其實是有難度的。首先,另一日本三大廠之一Nissan 出了一架廉價超跑R35,性能跟得上貴一倍的波子,拉利。
NSX 要超越GTR 實在不易,特別是本田「自豪」的Hybrid 技術,到底如何? 我只知道豐田的Hybrid 很成功,街上Prius 也比Insight 多不知多少倍。馬力很重要,GTR 一副V6 + turbo 做出4xx hp,NSX 用NA V6;一般V6我猜只能到300hp,本田應該是不會用Turbo 的,那就要靠馬達補力,100+hp 馬力不是不可能,但是應該很吃電,跑幾個圈便乾,那只會變相加磅。要NA 再加馬力,要麼加容積,要麼加轉數。容積應該只會3.x L,所以就剩加轉一途,那倒是好事,畢竟這是本田,高轉才是王道。其外,要加提高加速度,減磅也是好方法,但未有聽到這方面的消息。
有時候,馬力/加速度不是一切,基本上上一代的NSX 在這方面也不是很強。車子的操縱性也很重要,今次的NSX 應該是Acura 推廣SH-AWD 的大好機會,只要在這方面有突出表現,整個產品系列也能帶動起來(雖然用的SH-AWD 不是一樣, 而且新RDX 只是用一般AWD....OTL)。但如果SH-AWD 輸給GTR 的AWD......那就糟了.....當然R35 的AWD 不是說笑的,但Nissan/Infiniti 好像沒有太強調其下其他車款用的AWD 系統,如果輸了,感覺Acura 整個SH-AWD 系統會被比下去.....
NSX 價格方面也是有點尷尬,之前聽的消息指NSX 是比較affordable,但從外型看來絕對不像....外型的「定價」比較像是要跟R8比。而且不像LFA,NSX 的性價比一定會被拿來跟GTR 比。只能說,比上比下都麻煩。
還有一點就是開發要三年,三年後對手們會有什麼改進還未知道,如以今日對手的標準設計,有機會三年後已經落後....
我個人對今次新NSX 期望蠻高的,但只怕到時候失望越大,因為就我看來,各方法都有點難。但一旦成功,他將為Acura 定立新的型像。可謂只許成功,不許失敗之作。
