KEY POINTS:
The motoring world was expecting to see a production version of the new NSX at the Tokyo Motorshow in October after Honda unveiled a preview - the Advanced Sports Car concept - earlier this year.
But according to company CEO Takyo Fukei, original plans to unveil the NSX have been scrapped and we may not see it until 2010.
It seems that a delay in the launch of the Acura brand - which will be Honda's sportscar wing in Japan - is the reason for the set-back.
Fukei cited instability in Japanese financial markets as the main reason for delaying the brand launch of Acura, rather than any problems with the development of the NSX.
Now it could be 2012 before the new NSX is available to order here.
