^^ Well-written!

 

Thteven,
Let's talk about insecurities buddy. Your aggressive attitude toward this topic would suggest that A.) You are picked on at work. B.) You are a younger sibling, who was picked on as a child. C.) You do not wear the pants in the house, and are picked on at home. D.) You're mad because Honda decided to leave well enough alone.

The Acura RL was the latest big release...Full-size luxury has a larger market than exotic sports car.
The Acura TL was their next lates big release...I would guess that Acura sells more cars from that line than from the RL line.
The Acura TSX
The Acura RSX
Looks like they're working their way up the ladder.
Wait... wasn't there an MDX in there somewhere? Sorry, forgot that one.
Looks like, according to my model, the NSX is due for a replacement. Oh, wait, it's the next one in line.
Ferrari can replace their cars because they only have three, which share some parts...and engineering.
Corvette can also replace cars faster because of America's sub-standard quality practices adopted after the second world war.
Porsche goes for max profit per unit sold...looks like Honda wants the same for their NSX.
Lotus' design for the Esprit was what? 30 years old (or at least close to that) when they terminated production. 1976-2004 looks like 28 (30 if you count the concept)


I would buy new NSX if I had the money, but I don't, so I will not. You too, Stevie B., should think about that. Do you have $80,000 at your disposal? Have you driven a NEW NSX? If no...how can you justify your statements?

 

Not the point that is being discussed here. Topic of this thread, "dated NSX." Yes, very. Was the car a person I could damn near give it a child and remain out of jail.

Almost makes me want to choke up -- but then I realize, hey wait a minute, cars are not movies. The NSX is a dated joke. That performance for that money? Are you ing kidding me? Thus this thread ....

Sure I am. Just because my opinion, which is backed up by reality shatters your frail ego does not mean I am not.

Show me the 4 person car that offers the same performance for less. Exactly. Considered yourself schooled, now sit down, shut up and let the folks who are talking with their heads and not their fragile egos continue this discussion.
There is zero special about the NSX. My opinion is that only a moron would pay so much for so little. A smart person might lease such a car given the current discounts and a very smart person would purchase the car used given the resale. These are things I generally would not have to repeat, but it appears you don't read very well, so I will.

 

WTF? Is this a serious post?

It looks like it was due for a replacement 10 years ago. Your point is?

Such as? I really do love it when folks pull shit directly from their asses and try to sell it on forums like this.

What?

So you work for Porsche? Max profut eh? Yet there have been 4 911's since the NSX introduction.
Lotus' design for the Esprit was what? 30 years old (or at least close to that) when they terminated production. 1976-2004 looks like 28 (30 if you count the concept) [/QUOTE]


Let me finish that for you -- "and I am a 16 year old fanboi who does not know my ass from a hole in the ground, but I feel obligated to attack anyone who has the nerve to call the NSX what it is, a dated joke."

I have a hell of a lot more than that "at my disposal."

Yup. Here is the kicker, I have also driven an older NSX. Want to know what was drastically different between the older and the newer NSX? Not a ing thing.

 

hahaha...I LOVE it...as soon as I call you on your hyprociscy you have to resort to adding in the "4 PERSON" qualifier.

show me a car that offers the same performance as a 911 turbo for less....but oh wait, it has to have 2 regular size seats and 2 mini seats that can accomodate at most a 4 foot tall guy, and oh wait, it has to be made in Germany by a company that starts with the letter "P"....see you, can't name such a car.....

Pretty sad, thought u had more ammo than this.

$120K for a 996 Turbo...now that is one overpriced car compared to a nice z06...but oh, it has those 2 extra seats....

 

Spanks. Come to think of though, the 997 Carrera S is in that same price range. Guaranteed residual value at 90k, in opposition to the dated NSX. NSX is pimp though. 03 +

 

I completely agree with Steve on these issues. While the NSX was undeniably a phenomenal automobile at its inception, it now competes against vehicles fifteen years younger. The alternatives available in the $80k range offer markedly better performance, aesthetics, and creature comforts. Is the NSX a great car? Absolutely. Is the NSX beautiful? Arguably so. Is the NSX a better car than its current competitors? Highly questionable. I believe that a used NSX at around $40-50k is a relative bargain, but I cannot justify purchasing one brand new.

 

i'm still waiting for the alternatives...what mid-engine, Japanese, 2 seater sports car can I get for 80K that performs as well as the NSX, is rare and reliable?

 

I've read that a lot of millionaires are driving Corvettes, probably mostly Z06s.

 

OK, I make it simple for you :

Despite a "poorer" interior design, people would still buy the Corvette over the NSX.

Guess there's something about the Corvette that's just BETTER.

End of story.
