Very nice car! But no straight side shots? The last pic is the best of all 3.

While at it, take the T-tops off and take some pix.

Gorgeous car BioBanker. I would gladly pay $60k new for one of those.

Beauty must be in the eye of the beholder because the fixed headlights look so much better than the older flip one's IMO. I've seen the orange/orange combo before and wasn't too impressed but I really like that yellow/yellow.

I'm still going with white when I find the right one. Thanks for the pics.

I think a all new 05 NSX is worth $50,000. A new one is long overdue.

I once built a superfast car out of hardened pasta and jet glue. I only had an ice pick and an avocado for tools. It kicked the butt of every car I know of. It only cost $36. Unfortunately, the interior, while avant garde, wasn't at all comfortable (linguini isn't nice on the tush) and the tires only lasted for 2.3 miles. The motor revved to 94000 rpm (once).

I'm done with this one. For one, I missed two pages from being sick and not keeping up with it and two, I see a lot of statements without any proof. It's like fighting with a punching clown - no matter what you do, it keeps bobbing back the same ol' way.

Yeah, if the NSX wasn't sold here (in the USA), then it would be more desirable. If the GTR WAS sold here, then it would be less desirable. And if the NSX sold for only $50,000, and Honda could match production to demand, then they'd sell like nobody's business. Even as "old and outdated" as they are.

No such luck Purple. Those pics were taken the day I got the car. Since then we've been hit with lots of snow, and the car has been under cover for about 5 weeks.

Not so sure about those headlights. Those yellow seats need to go too.
Those headlights ARE one of the things that Acura has actually improved. Ill take any improvement over the 97 that I can get And I too thought that the Y/Y would be too much. Till I saw it. I liked it alot in person.

Oh boy these townhouses are so close to each other.......
Yep - the builder defined the width of the lots by the absolute minimum they could make a 2 car garage. We had a Volvo and my old S2000 and it was fine. I got the Sienna 2 days before the NSX and I had serious doubts the NSX would even fit as the Sienna physically takes up 50% of the floorspace. Toronto real estate is retardedly expensive. Many of the "townhouses" on this street are $1MM+.

What happened to the last pic? You shrunk it so it'd be less visible?

The interior design is not the most beautiful or modern, but the material seems to be of very good quality.

Yes, these discussions get kind of heated....sadly, only a small fraction of the people talking about the NSX have significant first hand experience with them. Most people are speaking of what they have 'heard'....

Very nice!! I bet you are eager for the snow to thaw so you can actually drive your car.
