C4s cab all day long for the daily, the nsx was a great car, but just coming to the end of it's style/performance life in stock form. IMO ( it IS tough to argue with 799.00 per month for a nsx)

It might not be the quickest, but I'd go with the NSX. Some current owners have 150k+ miles, and drive them daily.
Although I really do like the new Maserati coupes, I'm assuming you've been to the new dealership on Rt 28? I think if there was an issue, they would be very quick to resolve it.

My 2 cents.
The Maserati is by far the most unique *and* current.
The Porsche is rather ho-hum in this bunch; probably the best performer but a bit ordinary.
The NSX while outdated is unique and probably offers the most driving enjoyment for the enthusiast.

A few weeks back I drove the Maserati Spyder Cambiocorsa. The exhaust and engine noise were fantastic. The dealership representative I was with mentioned that he has driven several and thought this particular car had the deepest best sounding exhaust. I guess hand assembly has an effect on exhaust note.
As for the transmission, at full throttle with no lift, you flick the paddle and it pounds into the next gear. If one slightly rolls back on the throttle then shifts, it is smooth as butta. Rev-match down shifts were also very sweet.
It is a big, heavy car and handles as such. However, I floored it from a light and was quickly up above 90. It was about 11:00pm on a rather rural city street. Out of nowhere a giant owl appears in my lane. Apparently he had swooped down on diner and in the throes of the kill failed to notice the silver beast baring down. I tapped the brakes, flicked the wheel right then left and continued on. The car handled it like a champ.
