Saw a new white NSX wif carbon hood one day. We didn't give it a go becuz there was heavy traffic. He was behind me all the time. He gave me a little rev as we went separate way. Gosh, it is one sweet car. (But doesn't worth the $$$)

hehe didn't give it a go? I wouldnt try..but it would be interesting to see how much the nsx would win by... well anything isnt worth the $$$ if you dont have it... its when you have it that matters..

rickman00

This car is even more expensive than the M3!

fsttyms1

i would take the car best handeling thing out there. and it just looks exotic!

fahoumh

too many people underrate the NSX without even driving one

NSXDreamer

yeah, people does bench racing, or talking smack with "performance numbers" wouldn't care about NSX...

Like those NSX people says, "...It's the best kept secret in the exotic world... Lets keep it that way..."

my friend has the last gen NSX and even though the straight line performance doesn't seem great for how much it costs, but the style of it, the feeling when you drive it, and the ability to take corners on a track is just plain awesome.

for an exotic, I think the price is decent. plus maintenance doesn't cost a lot compared to other exotics.

You just found this out now?

The M3 is a poser car anyway - at least here in So Cal.


Back to the topic of this thread...

I recently saw a brand new silver-ish NSX in the dealership lot and I've got to say that color was great for the car. At first I didn't like the new headlights but with this silver color, it works IMO.

Rumor is Acura losses money on the sale of each NSX. Costs $120k to build, sells for $90k. It's the "marquee" of it so they keep it around. They don't sell many so the financial "loss" is negligible.

LOL, ain't that the truth. Every other car here in south OC is either an M3 or an H2. People who get those cars can't drive worth shiet.

I LOVE THE NSX!!!!!!!!! Worth every penny to me...ok, I just had to say that.

Why would Acura make it and lose money?

Isn't that just stupid?

My father has gone through two NSX's since 1995. He has had a couple twin turbo Porsches, used to be a professional driver in the Toyota Atlantic series and still stands by the NSX as the best performance vehicle out there…Mostly for the handling / breaking etc. (of course). He even choose the NSX over the F360.

Not really. They don't sell many of them so from the developmental standpoint for their racing team they can incorporate the "best" technologies in the NSX and see how it runs.

Besides, if someone happens to see an NSX on the lot, takes a look and then ultimately purchases another model, it's worth having the NSX.

Believe me, the loss Acura takes on the sale of each NSX, they MORE than make it up on the sales of the other models.

If the NSX was the ONLY car Acura produced, yes, it would be stupid and they would be out of business.

Or had daddy buy it for them (Los Angeles).

this car is more expensive than new m5 with v10 500hp

I don't know how much it costs to build, but I doubt that number is correct. The revenue figure is certainly off. The MSRP is $89,765 but what Acura receives from the dealer is around $78K. (Dealer invoice is $79,978 but that's before the holdback.) Up until the past few months, Acura has had $7500 dealer incentives on them, so lots of folks have been buying brand new NSXs in the $73-75K range, with the amount actually going to Acura after the incentive winding up in the $70-72K range.

You can get a very very nice used '91-94 NSX Coupe, with below average mileage (average for the NSX is only 5K miles/year), in the $30-35K range. That is a bargain.

The new M5 doesn't even hit the market for over a year from now, and pricing has not been announced.

njtls

well when it does its not gonna cost more then an nsx...

nsxtasy

And the reason you know that is...?

Given that the current M5 costs about the same $73-75K as an NSX, I don't see how you can predict with any accuracy whether it's going to go up, or down, in price. Unless you work for BMW NA, you would be better off not making statements that might not be true.

I also don't see what the M5 has to do with the NSX. The M5 is a great car - a big, heavy, powerful, high-performance luxury sedan. The NSX is a nimble, lightweight, high-performance sports car. The M5 is perfect for driving cross-country with the family, in speed and style. The NSX is perfect for the racetrack. Two totally different kinds of cars.
