BTW, I am old enough to know that there is such thing as inflation. Accords were not always 25,000 as they are now. NSX's were 40,000 when they came out. Porsches were substantially less. Look at houses and land gentlemen, it happens.

Your opinion is meaningless. You didn't even buy your own car, and you're talking shit about an NSX?
Thank your lucky stars your parents were nice enough to buy you a CL-S.

And how do you come about it as my opinion as meaningless?? It seems that there are some people on here that think my high price opinion of the NSX ISNT MEANINGLESS. Next time, if youre gonna try to rip on someone, get a better fucking argument than I DIDNT BUY IT MYSELF.

You guys better watch it, cob3683’s daddy might give him an NSX when he turns 20 next year.
I’m guessing by then it will have become the GREATEST CAR IN THE WORLD.![Big Grin](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)

I’m not pulling the AGE card on you.
I just find it funny (along with others I see) that you can be so critical of an EXOTIC car (there I said it) when you only have THREE years of driving experience.
I’ve driven an NSX myself in the past and have been close to buying a used one TWICE.
Yes, they are overpriced when new, but a lot of that has to do with import duties.
If it cost 50,000 like a loaded Corvette, GM would probably have a fit.

You can get pretty much the same car for $30-40k less... Minus the new interior... Which actually I think is a big improvement, but not $30-40k worth.
(used as in a 95,96)

Cob....all anyone is saying here is that what you are saying is an opinion...you are acting your age by not understanding that the intangibles of owning a NSX are. Hell why would anyone buy a Ferrari? You can buy a Vette with similar performance as you say, but fit and finish play a large part in the cost...not to mention exclusitivity....and the looks you get when you drive by...which happens in the NSX more than you would think....since it is actually more rare than a Porsche or M3 or Vette in these parts. All of the BMWs(not Z8), Porsches, vettes and anything else under 80K are pretty much cars that are all mass-produced...chassis-wise at the very least. The NSX is probably one of the cheapest hand built EXOTICs out there right now. Sidenote: Honda loses money on each NSX they sell.

One day I wish someone would truly explain to me the concept of knowing exotic cars on a short driving experience. As I have said before, any fool can tell the quality of the car. Its quite easy to. I said I didnt believe the NSX to be currently because myself, I see them almost everyday. I have said its a good car, just not in my batch. The new one definitely. I will never justify the price though of this current one. If Acura has never changed the car in 12 years, (except for this years cosmetic changes or if they had any major work, sorry, I didnt know then) I dont justify a car that as some of you stated was 40,000 then went to 90,000 and has stayed the same. I talked about the inflation earlier, but from what I have read is that no other car inflated this much. Honestly if the car was 70,000, you wouldnt hear a noise from my side.

I cannot believe this thread is 10 pages long!
If you know sh!t about sh!t you can tell some quality things in 5 minutes.
Panel gaps.
Can you fit your fingernail between stuff.
How the door sounds slammed shut
feel of the leather
thread patterns
carpet
the plastic on the dashboard
THe trained eye can tell in 5 minutes.

I have been reading this topic for the past hour now and I believe the young man brings up some good points. However, I do not agree totally with him. The NSX I own now is very nice, especially after aftermarket parts I put into it. Having said that, its still nowhere near in the ballpark of my Turbo. I agree that the NSX is overpriced, but guys, I drive them both everyday of my life, the NSX doesnt compare to a Turbo. Kid brings a good point to the table but the fact is, the car sells. Cant argue that.
Lastly, IT IS AN EXOTIC, IT IS A GREAT CAR, AND IT HANDLES EXTREMELY WELL. The only two flaws that I see are the interior lacks a certain power to it to really set the car off and that the price is relatively high.

well, this thread is going nowhere in a hurry.
perhaps further reading and enlightenment at
www.nsxsc.com will do the trick
Being that this is a Honda board at heart, you'll do no better
than stir up arguments against your opinion.
But to each, his own.
