[B]The NSX is a genuine 'Supercar'... it always has been, yet it's never really received the critical acclaim it deserves from the motoring press, who fall to their knees in worship of anything Bavarian or Italian which is floated across their field of view. I do wonder about all this Ferrari worship, to take one marque as an example. Sure it's a glamorous marque steeped in all that racing history. Buy a 355 though and they tell you when you buy it that the the engine has to come out at 3 years regardless of mileage and have major parts replaced at a cost of thousands. Like anything Italian, they're things of beauty with great flare wonderful shapes and flowing lines. They seem to loose interest though bless 'em, once they've got all the nice bits done, with quirky bits of interior trim that come off in your hand and look like they've come out of the old British Leyand parts bin.
No justice at all here that I can see. Here's Honda yet again giving you a beautiful vehicle with supercar performance and the reliability of a Civic, at least in comparison to some of the exotic alternatives, at a fraction of the price. The NSX is probably the one car that I would seriously covet over the S2000. Too rich for my blood though in this lifetime!
