2010 Honda/Acura NSX Comeback Sooner than Later?!?

Seems like there's more news on this subject than previously reported.
Honda has announced the possibility of resurrecting the shelved NSX project which it buried at the latter part of 2008 due to ever decreasing sales. The reason for reviving the NSX was because, according to Dick Colliver, executive vice president of Honda in America, the development was “mostly done.”

There is an attempt by Honda to raise the confidence of dealers who were concerned at the demise of the NSX. Meanwhile, Acura is holding on to its intention of becoming a Tier 1 luxury car maker without a value image compromise. Honda also cancelled the RWD V8 platform for the Acura together with the NSX. Honda received intense criticisms for introducing a new styling direction with the coming out of its latest TSX, TL and RL models. Compared with 2007, Honda sales dropped by 15 percent in 2008.

NSX Could be Revived Once the Economy Turns Around

"Colliver also mentioned that work on the NSX replacement is "mostly done," so even though Honda shelved the V10 supercar to cut costs and keep an even keel during the economic downturn, the NSX could be pulled out of the corporate garage, dusted off and brought to market once conditions improve."
