See now I don't think my mom is the general public but the minute she sees "Nissan" she sees "shitbox." I guess her ill fated Datsun never was her favorite car...

About a month ago I did an impromptu photo shoot for Josh M and some other people in town with Supras. We parked them right next to the lake and these skater kids saw em, just freaked out. "Oh man guys thank you so much for bringing them all out together! That's amazing!" That was the reaction many many many times from all kinds of people. Necks snapping all over the damn place both while we were shooting at locations and while caravanning (led like the pied piper, myself in the Miata) between spots. It was, frankly, ridiculous.

Regular people see an NSX and see some generic wedgy-looking exotic thing and while they know it's nice and whatnot they don't know what it is so the reaction is less pronounced. Or they just think it's a Corvette.
supras are nice. but not exotic. modified ones turn necks. stock ones dont. caravan with 3 NSX STOCK and you will turn necks just like 3 modified supras.

I still prefer FD3S bodystyle to NSX OR Supra.
