      @FerrariCarr 4 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      The black looks cheap for a car of that price point, is what he meant. The dash looks like it’s made from the same black plastic you’d find in a Honda family sedan. Cars like Ferrari had padded leather dashes that were the same color as the seats, and a lot of other cars had dashes that just had a more expensive look. But he is right about the build quality; that plastic is very durable and the Japanese cars have always been praised for their build quality.

      just a few years ago a 348 was 1/3 of what it is now. That bubble will burst soon and the NSX will be the better long term buy. Hell, they already are the better to own since the repairs on the 348 can buy a NSX.

Don't know why they keep the pact for more than 10 years. High end performance cars like the NSX and Skyline GT-Rs shouldn't be limited in horsepower. Displacement tax, insurance, yearly inspections are already more than tough enough in Japan. People will still put performance mods their cars regardless.

      GTR still destroys in the track, the new NSX (although not as sought after as the first generation) is a beast, and actually is superior to the old NSX in every way. Mazda Miata is amazing still, and the civic type R is now a force to be respected. Nissan 370Z is about to be redesigned to the 400z (all new styling as well). And the new Toyota Supra, although smaller than the A80 Supra, is going to be more powerful, and more nimble than its predecessor. I'd say the Japanese have it handled. And it's only going to get better in the next few years.

    I have a 1991 NSX and it is by far the best car I have ever owned. The only down side is that this car gets an enormous amount of attention from everyone, half of the time people whip out their phone when I drive by, so I definitely do not daily drive it, but it is a joy to drive. .

    around 1991 i was working at the front counter of a gym pretty much doing nothing bored out of my mind, when one of the gym members who worked for a car dealership popped in and said, "hey dude. you want to go for a ride?" we went outside and jumped in a brand new NSX and went screaming around a new industrial park that had smooth, freshly paved streets. it was like a little race track. the experience was incredible. the thing i remember the most was how smooth the ride was, and the sweep of the nose was so low that looking out the window it seemed like you could almost not even see the nose. it was like we were looking right at the pavement

    You're right about the prices intending on staying in the high ranges. This car is only increasing in price. I remember back in 2005 this car cost about 25k. Now, it costs as much as 100k depending on condition and dealer. Especially if it's a targa top.

    "...And intend to stay there." Sadly, that's not how it worked out. Acura gave up on introducing any interesting new products after only a few years and most of their product line has been a relative disappointment ever since. Yeah, the TL is a good car but the Legend, Integra, and NSX just had a buzz about them that the later cars never achieved.

      @@genericdenizen1 I'm sad to see that, five years after my previous comment, nothing has changed at Acura. The new NSX LOOKS great but...ehh. Automatic-only is a deal-killer and overall the car doesn't thrill me.

    this car aged well, much better than the 348 with it's early 90's/late 80's styling. That ferrari lost a lot of it's value (near 50%) while early decent NSX's worth about 70%+ of what they cost new.
