Haha no , I mean a fail as in they make good cars, but then stop. Or mess up the development along the way then kill it.

Its like they have something great, with awesome potential then just leave it.

The S2000 was a Miata killer.. great chassis, motor, was cheap.. then they stop development and let it age, sales start dropping then killed it..

I think the NSX will probably put down solid numbers and will drive well. However, it took Honda lots of time to make this. An the benchmark has changed many times since its development has started. Look at its competition, every year its updated, refined, new this or faster that to keep the current generation competitive.

The Japanese don't have a history of doing that. The only car I can say gets updates to stay competitive yearly is the GTR, but the R35 is 9yrs old and the replacement is still a few years away.
