I don't feel like reading the whole thing today. But just thought I'd mention Honda\Acura tried the realm of high sports cars, and the NSX was considered a pretty big failure I think?

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?

You forgot to say that the NSX was as ugly as F**k.

[ford832]

That too.

The biggest problem with your Yamaha is that it is a Yamaha and I've been there and done that. No thanks.

[ford832]

Come on Sachs,you can tell me...What kind of Yamaha are you?

you are probably right.
Interestingly, the series 6 (fd) Rx7 was similar performance wise to the Nsx, and thanks to a retail price which was less than half that of an Nsx, it ended up selling very well.

The Nsx was marketed ad too much of a super car and for that price really needed to be head and shoulders above it's euro competition which it wasn't.

For what's it's worth, I think they look sweet!

I'm starting to feel like Chief Inspector Dreyfus in an old Pink Panther movie - "Is that Clouseau?".
Switch the word Yamaha for "Clouseau".
Eyebrow starts twitching uncontrollably.......
