Honda CEO Takeo Fukui has confirmed that the next-generation NSX supercar won’t be shown at the Tokyo Auto Show in October. The development of the car continues with various NSX test mules recently caught running laps at the Nurburgring, but Honda won’t say when the new model will launch.

A few days ago we reported that the - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER until 2010 but this may have also caused the delay for the NSX. Since the Tokyo Auto Show is in run once every two years, and the 2009 show will be too early, it’s possible the NSX may be postponed till 2011 according to Autocar. One possible look for the NSX was shown as the - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER (pictured). The concept was unveiled at the Detroit auto show this year and Honda claimed it would get a front-mounted V10 engine with rear-biased AWD.

Honda’s sports car development has been a joke in recent years. The S2000 is old and doesn’t compare favorably to its competitors, the Civic Type-R is being outgunned by its competitors, and now the NSX is on hold. Even the F1 team has been ridiculed this season after being overtaken by the much smaller Super Aguri B-team.

I guess they figured out that the compitition is tough these days. I hope the final product is worth the wait. I believe Honda's are Japan's BMWs. More driver oriented + MAXed engines. Great driving experience

Honda hasn't had a clue as to what they want to do about the NSX for years now. I'm at the "who cares" stage now. I can't remember a car that has delayed, cancelled etc. etc. so much in my life. You debut a mid-engine concept and then scrap it and then a longish front-engined coupe that looks like absolutely nothing and then delay it. Who the hell cares. Honda: Come back when you're ready to actually show a real car.
