Since they're known for making cheap, practical cars, they wanted something to boost their reputation worldwide. That's why they make the NSX, not to make money. They don't sell enough of them to make it a profitable.
As for the comments about the price, if you actually have some info to prove me wrong, post it. I'm tired of answering all of your silly questions. It's called a search engine, use it.
So where's your evidence that Honda is losing money? And what image does Honda need to boost? They have extensive racing heritage, idiot. Japanese cars have always been known for very efficient cars. Did you know Nissan is a Japanese auto manufacturer? hmm.
"Since they're known for making cheap, practical cars"
Wow, what an ignorant statement. Do you have an idea of how many car companies make "cheap, practical cars"? I mean, Ford must've made their Mustang to "boost" their image right? Jeez, same reasoning behind the Viper I guess. Might as well be with the Corvette. Oh wait, Fiat must've bought Ferrari to boost their image also.
Sorry, I only have 2 friends who own an NSX. Not enough I guess.
You live in California? Call up Acura of Santa Monica, because they're selling a 2002 NSX for $80k.
Oh yea, about your "search engine" comment, sorry, I should believe everything on the internet
Thank you, good night.
