- I can't think of a single $15k sedan that has all AL chassis. Titanium CR, 8000 rpm redline(the RSX comes close), 90 HP/L, all aluminum Control arms.

Please enlighten me steve

 

SAY WHAT. Ther are atleast 9000-10000 NSX sold in the world. Yet drawing accurate reliability statistics is diffcult. WTF are you talking about. This is the age of the Internet. anybody can get a fair feel for whether or not a car is reliable. Your arguement is ludicrous.


This coming from a guy who keeps arguing that a Disco II is an extremely reliable SUV. One that keeps trying to "rationalize" why a LR is at the bottom of the JD power surveys.

 

Wow now that's a truely intelligent point. Stupid people, morons

 

Basically, IMHO Steve C is a TROLL. Again for all you in the Steve C circle jerk club I will REPEAT my profound conclusion. He is a TROLL with a 911 TT. He luvs to come up with the one liner, hoping his fanbois are going to quote him and put up a or a

However, when his input would be valuable. eg, in this THREAD, all he can come up with is a rude comment.

I could go on for a few more. However, I will stop for now.

 

My .02

+ NSX still draws a crowd and has curb appeal. 15 years old or not, it is a nice, exotic looking car. My friend has a 96 with a few add ons and gets major attention everywhere we go. People dig the car, that is a fact. When was the last time you saw even a few people gawking at a parked corvette!?!

- NSXs are notoriously expensive as hell to fix and maintain. My same friend recently shattered his rear window (the small one on the inside not the engine cover one) and it cost 1100 to replace from Acura. Everything is expensive on these cars (corvette too) because only a certain type of buyer chooses either of them.

I do not know if I would ever pay list or asking price for a new NSX because I do not make enough to actually afford it. If I was rich then who knows. it is all relative. 92 -108K for a car is nothing to someone who makes 100s of millions of dollars but on the flip side, seems astronomical to someone who only makes 55k a year.

I personally like the NSX model years where the headlights are still hideaways I think the new headlight style is azz so I would buy a later year used model and save $$. I personally think Corvettes are shizzit and therefore would never want to buy one. I have never heard good things about Corvettes from prefessional unbiased reviewers (think "top gear" guys - they blasted the new vette as a pig of a car). But this is all irrealavent since I am not in a position to actually consume this level of product.

this bitch fest that is going on seems pointless because the question (although intriguing) is moot.

Should the car be updated, us Americans seem to think so because we are used to a new mustang every 3-5 years or so. Until recently, how often did VW radically change the bug?? 35-40 years. It seems enough people are happy with the car's essence the way it is. Until that day comes we will be locked in this pissing contest over bang for the buck Vs. prestige pricing and rarity.

A good thread to read though and I have a better understanding of the appeal of the Vette and the NSX because of it.

 

seriously, you so full of yourself? a ferrari is worth more than a similar performing corvette because of PERCEIVED value and heritage with a dash of exclusivity

but an NSX can't be worth more because of the same?

perception - NSX is high class, high quality, reliable, etc. Don't matter if it's true, it's the perception - just like Ferraris, Porsches, Lambos, etc. are perceived to be bad ass, whether or not it's actually true.

heritage - some people think the NSX has heritage - honda's racing heritage, first japanese 'super' car. first japanese 'exotic'. whatever. doesn't matter if it's true , that's the heritage people associate with an NSX.

dash of exclusicity - not too many people can fork out 80k for a new car...

you can't have it both ways....either you're saying value/worth is determined by performance only or you agree that there are subjective factors.

so which one is it, because you're confusing the hell out of me.

 

what kind of watch do you wear? a casio or a rolex?
what kind of jeans do you wear? walmart specials or levis?
what kind of water do you drink? tap or bottled?

give me a break...everybody is a moron...we all pay extra for things that we perceive to be better in one way or another.

do you go around telling people they're morons for buying a rolex for 10k when a casio for $20 works just as well?

Wow, a whole 9 or 10 thousand over 14 years. Again, there are not enough of them out there to draw valuable statistics from. Should we wish to focus on the negative we could bring up the early banjo problems that affected quite a few cars. Should we?

Nope, valid.

Show me where I have written as much. I have written that my experience with Land Rover has been positive and perhaps a bit extraordinary.

Interesting way of editing what I really wrote. I guess if you have to edit what I did in fact write, perhaps I have a point you are trying to hide?

No, I am an unbiased car enthustaist who is lucky enough to have enough money such that I am more able (it seems more than some) to be objective when evaluating various cars.

No doubt because you are done venting and are our of personal insults which can be used to cover up your insecurities.

Yes.

No. Add to that, at least Ferrari changes their cars every few years.

Yes, and now they associate, old, outdated and way overpriced (hence this thread) with the car. Way to go Honda.

huh?

You don't drive a casio or rolex do you?
