I'd certainly kick the SLK to the curb if you've reached that point. However, were you me, I'm not sure I'd rush into an NSX either. The NSX always hit me as Japan's counter to the clear & present threat posed by the Buick Reatta. Looks over performance and an old fart as the target customer demographic. Coincidentally, that describes my former doctor to a tee. He also had a Lexus SC400 & a, well, Buick Reatta over the years too. Nice & comfy & he thought the 20 somethings thought he looked sporty in it. He was pretty close to a chainer as well now that I think about it. This is probably why the NSX doesn't land with me all the well. The ride of choice amongst the poser set. That & the nickname they are sometimes known by, the 'No Sex'. Yes, I know I am being a bit harsh on what is by any estimation, a very nice car. Anyways, If I wanted to get into a high-end, Japanese semi-exotic, I'd be looking for a last generation Supra. If I wanted to stay with something newer, hands down, an S2000. Bonus, it's a Honda too!
FWIW,
