Here are the seven must-read, must-watch auto news stories and videos for Tuesday, March 15, 2016.
NSX
The first reviews are in. Jalopnik: “On track, the NSX drives like the fastest Japanese sedan you’ve ever driven – ever careful to mind its manners and provide a comfortable driving experience.” evo: “On the road the NSX feels incredibly capable but also extremely composed. Speed is easy to find and easy to carry through corners.” Top Gear: “The combined thrust is mighty – think Audi R8 with a more instant shove at the bottom end and you won’t be far off.” The Globe And Mail: “The regenerative braking system is the most confidence-inspiring hybrid stopping technology we’ve ever tested, especially when augmented by the optional carbon ceramic package.”

A successor to the Mazda 2 which was discontinued last year is sold in the United States – with a trunk – as a Scion, which is a soon-to-be-discontinued Toyota division. And of the three Toyota subcompacts on sale in America, it’s the top seller. – TTAC
