Well, it's not like there's a huge demand for the NSX here anyway. It costs too much and it's underpowered.
The same can be said for the European market. The NSX is definitely not worth the money when you consider the alternatives: Porsche, BMW, Mercedes, or even the countless independent sports car companines in Europe.
Take for instance the new TVR Tamora. A beautifully sculpted 350HP-290LB-FT roadster capable of running from 0-60 in 4.2 seconds. Not bad for $53,000.

too costly
it's an expensive car b/c it's hand built
underpowered
290hp isn't alot but in a car that weighs less than 3,000lbs and has a mr layout in an all aluminum chassis it's not just an engine...the whole car is designed with a purpose
competition is better
show me articles and proof from trusted media besides your own measureless opinion where the nsx isn't on par with the competition...even to today it holds its own
tvr is faster so it must be better
with this brilliant analogy you'd better get those last z28s b/c it's faster than the 350z and has more torque and hp...i guess the z sucks b/c there's something that's faster in a straight line

Ok then, who's gonna be the first among you to spend $100,000 for this car??
Yeah, that's what I thought. :madfawk:
And another thing. You ask have I ever driven a ****en NSX. NAW! Have you?
The fact is, there are ALOT of cars that deliver the same performance or better for less money.
Big damn deal if the car's handbuilt with an aluminum chasis. That alone doesn't justify the price. Honda only builds a small number of NSX's per year, and loses money on them too. Why? Because THERE'S NO DEMAND. See my first sentence in this post if you still don't get it.

The Lincoln Navigator has 300hp, that's more performance than an Audi A4, A6 3.0, or TT, Any Acura made, BMW Z3, Z4, BMW 325, 330, 525, 530, and 540, Lexus IS300, ES300, GS300, LS430, Infiniti G35, I35, Porsche Boxter, MB SLK230, SLK320, C260, C320, E320, E430, S430, Honda S2000, Nissan 350Z, Jaguar X-Type 2.5, X-Type 3.0, S-Type 3.0, Lincoln's own LS 3.0, Towncar, and Continental, Cadillac CTS, Seville SLS, and DeVille DHS.
Now the Navigator has more HP and Torque than all those cars... yet I'm gonna bet that they're all faster. Why? WEIGHT. That is how the NSX doesn't need 400hp to be fast. It is lightweight.

Wow, you got me there. I dont have the money to buy an NSX so I cant apriciate for what it is. I dont have 20,000 to spend on a car at this point in my life, so does my opnion on a celica not matter? Also, do you have 55,000 to spend on your TVR? O wait, even if u did youd have to import it thru grey market.
As far as AcuraFanatic having driven a NSX, I'll let him asnwer that and make you look like a fool.
Maybe you dont understand the amount of money it cost to handbuild a car, and out of aluminum at that. Find me a cheaper handbuilt car. Also, find me a more reliable handbuilt car. Or find me a more reliable high end sports car at that. You wont. The NSX is one of a kind. It's grip isnt at tight as it used to be when it came out 11 years ago, but then again, I cant think of another car who can hang with the rest of them after 11 years. There's no demand for the NSX? It's a really frickin expensiva car, and therefor the possible market is small.
Just go to google.com and search for 2002 NSX Review, see how positive they all are.
