Oh well, I can enjoy looking at them. Much like Kate Upton.

ugh


It is heavy but a Bentley Continental GT W12 is over 5000 lbs and it's still a sub 4 sec car

My 95 TL is still my favorite car I owned.

People hating on Acura probably never owned one.

I would never spend that money on any vehicle, but that vin 001 looks slick as frick.

I like the vintage ones much better - one of the great automotive "bargains" among top flight sports cars:

I drive by this plant 5 days a week and have seen a NSX rolling down 33 at least once or twice a week for the past couple of months. They're as beautiful in person as they are in photos

Jap cars just dont do it for me. I mean its not terrible but the i8 from BMW or the S63 coupe are far superior, IMO.

How long have they been working on this thing?

What made the OG NSX great was that it was so light and nimble.

I know, but just think of all the tech that's crammed into that thing. It adds weight.

Also, I believe some of the complaints were about steering and handling so I'm sure the weight is a factor.

That's a late year one. The originals from 91-98 or so are the best.

The aesthetic is a bit underwhelming

It's a very simple bad arse exotic car. I like it.

I'd think it looks more impressive in real life.

It's one of the few "super" cars that I'd drive as a mid forties conservative person. That and the Audi. I always liked the original NSX so I'd pick the NSX over the Audi. Could not see myself driving a Lamborghini or Ferrari at this point.

Edit: wouldn't have driven the lambo at any point.

Performance wise its certainly does. Aesthetically it looks pretty cheap.

Yeah, the interior looks like the inside of my dad's Titan, sans a few switches
