AN,

No need to appologize for a long post, sometimes they are needed and it was well written. The only thing I disagree on thought is whether or not someone would buy a $90K Honda or Acura, and that Nissan and Infiniti had cars that were of the same caliber as the NSX.

I for one don't care what the NSX is called or who the company is that it is sold under. The NSX is a great car that would have sold under the Honda name just as well as under the Acura name. When a car is built as well as the NSX it does not matter what you call it.

Also the Supra was a mass produced production car on an automated assembly line...not sure about the Skyline but doesn't the Skyline share its frame with another Nissan? Sorry I am not real familiar with the Skyline. But for arguments sake I will only use the Supra. While the Supra did have similar or better performance numbers over the NSX you cannot beat the build quality of the NSX. The whole thing is on a lightweight aluminum frame and is handbuilt...Toyota cannot say that about the Supra. I don't look at the Supra in the same light as the NSX.
