Default NSX or Tuscan... I just dont know which to get!

Looking to buy a new car, the local Honda dealer offered a 2nd Hand NSX for 35K (GPB), but I can get a TVR Tuscan 4.0 for that price... I dont think it's a contest really

I was thinking about the NSX, but then I saw Swordfish again! As John T put it "You could be 90 and still look cool in this car!"

You can get a new TVR Tuscan for the same price as a used NSX? Damn, I didn't know they were so "affordable". I'd go with the Tuscan without a doubt! That car just looks so sweet... and it'd be a lot more unique... although I don't know if that's the case where you live.

Aghhh so unfair.

I can't get a TVR here in the states, if I could the Porsche would go tommorow.

The TVR used in Swordfish was owned by John Travolta... he drives it in the states, I'd assume you could to

I see Tuscans every other day in London, and if you can assume the fact of driving in an oversized penis, I'd say go for it, because they're completely incredible, from the sound to the dashboard to the crazy colors...

I'd go for blue or orange, or black if you're into being..'hum'.. discreet.
But it's also a choice between one of the most reliable supercars to one of the least!

I didnt know he owned one of them (there were 3 for the film - E.g. Close Ups, Normal, ,and bullet ridden!). I do like the fact that the car in Swordfish has UK Blackpool Numberplates on them!! This is probably only funny to Brits, but Blackpool is a classic seaside resort... I think it's a bit like Miami



I dont see a few in London everyweek.... but they still do look like sex on legs... or a like a huge penis.... I suppose it's the same thing!

The good thing is they're coming with windows these days I remember the one Tiff Needel test drove and it didn't have any.
