Guys...I think we need to stop bashing on Zman...I think it's enough and he learned his lessons. It's been great to scroll down and looked at everyone's comments, and we all know he pissed us off with his attitude. It looked to me that he just wasn't expressing himself precisely to explain his stand points. I also agreed that the NSX is a bit expensive to own, and true, there are cars in Europe that cost half the price and still is a good car like the VTR. I am pretty sure it's a good car too. Yet, a handbuilt vehicle like NSX deserves much more than that. If I had 80K 'n you want me to choose a car, I wouldn't pick a Boxter and throw the rest into a CD but to pick an NSX. I love the styling, clean lines, the sound of it(no I don't own one but I've sat on it, but maybe vtr's sound better...I dunno...) Honda does keep a good reputation with its effeciency, quality, style... and that's why there's a lot of repetitive buyers. I, too, as a honda owner, would love to have one NSX.
It's an exotic car, with a small group of buyers. I am pretty sure Honda probably doens't make lots of profits out of it and might be losing some money or having a hardtime keeping the NSX alive...who knows, can't be certain about that... but for all we know, Honda is keeping us happy and we'd love to try this super car here. (specially the R version...) My dream would be to keep the whole honda family in my garage... but who knows when that day will be?
Zman, correct me if I am wrong, maybe I am expressing myself more poorly, but I think I see what you mean... . Afterall, it's a respectful car and I am pretty sure you like it too... otherwise I don't think you will be hanging here with us. 2nd-hand NSX's are a lot cheaper than brand new ones tho, maybe that will make it more affordable to you if you ever consider getting one here. I think 2nd-hand VTR's might be more expensive for the same year used tho... could be wrong. Anyway calm down, it's just a dicussion board and in order to earn other people's respect, you need to be little more passive about attacking people's words. I just want to have a good time here with all ya peiceful and happy Honda lovers.
