Honda has canceled plans for the Acura NSX supercar program, company President Takeo Fukui said on Wednesday.

The car was expected to have a front-mounted V10 engine that made at least 500 hp. It would have been the successor to the first-generation NSX, which had a mid-mounted V6. That NSX went out of production in late 2005 after 14 years.

The new NSX was expected to debut as a 2010 model.

The news came as Honda announced sweeping cutbacks as it deals with the global sales downturn and economic crunch.

Wow, that sucks. The economy is putting a hold on a lot of performance car's R&D and thus release. Oh well, what are you going to do

Well, I think Honda is not doing themselves any favors with the new line up in the area of cosmetics. We shall see how things playout. C'mon economy kick back up !!
