I'd take the NSX just for how rare they are on the road.

If they were being given to me...I'd take the NSX and trade it in on 2 Vettes. NSX is a wonderful automobile but to me its outdated. Needs a serious refreshing and some minor engine work done.

I'd probably get a Vette and get something like a 330 or maybe add a few $$ and get an M3

if someone was giving me the option, hands down I would pick the NSX. Even if they were the same price.

NSX is timeless... it has proven that! I mean.... if you didn't know the design hadn't changed for the last 15 years, it would stack up VERY well next to the vette in terms of design, interior etc. Yes, the engine is underpowered, but let's say it came with 400hp from the factory (S/C or something) for the same price, would you get it then?

Just look at it... its all class!!

If it had 400hp and cost at least 20-30k less, then yes.. Otherwise no. It's a dated supercar whose time has come and gone IMO

Dated supercar yes. But I still think it's the better looking car in this pair.

I think that the fact that Honda is going to axe the NSX due to poor sales is proof that the public doesnt have a demand/desire for the NSX. Just my

I completeley agree that the current NSX for its price and power is not going to attract any buyers - that's a given! However, for a car to last 15 years and to at least be somewhat comparable is extraodinary!! I mean if Honda kept increasing the power every 3-4 years but kept everything else constant, wouldn't it be a winner?

The NSX is a "supercar" while the corvette is american joe's sportscar (no doubt a great one, though). What makes the NSX so special to me is that you get a mid-engine exotic that you can drive to work everyday and still have honda reliability. Personally, I'm saving up for a lightly used 02+ NSX......

I'll take the NSX, just because it's damn rare.

For a design that is over a decade old, it still looks better than the new C6. IMHO...
