The only failure for the NSX was sales-and price.It supposedly went after the Porsche Carrera and generally equaled or bettered it but....it was almost $20,000 more.The japs have a hard time in this category.If you have the bucks to buy this kind of machinery does it sound more impressive to tell the boys at the polo club you just bought a new Porsche,Ferrari,Lambo...or a Honda?
