It the lens - very wide angle (11mm)!

Steering wheel is of very much S2000 proportions.
Steering wheel & gearknob are very definitely of 5G Prelude proportions!

So are the instruments; not the same part numbers, but the design link is unmistakeable.

I drove the Tuscan S, an NSX Targa and a Carrera 4 back to back before deciding on the NSX.

The Tuscan was the most exhilarating, the NSX the best drive and the Carrera was fine, as in get an NSX or Gayman instead. It really was that underwhelmingly good. Like most good German cars, it only came alive if you really thrashed it, but you go a bit quick by then. The NSX really is that sense of occasion (like most old Hondas) however you drive it. It's relaxing threading through a traffic jam, so long as you remember its hips.

It may be too close to perfection for most people's tastes, however; people do prefer faults in their cars.

Phew, I can buy one now (apart from not being able to afford it)

In terms of depreciation, an early car might be cheaper than a carpet-crawler saloon car!

True, but sadly there's the upfront cost, and I won't borrow money to pay for it.
