Hurrah, my friend. This is the used car of my fantasies.
It was Honda's proclamation to Italy that they could in fact build world-class supercars in their own vein. Honda chose a unique method - the aluminum unibody, as well as some freakish technical details - Titanium CR's, which I was already expecting after I saw my first CR-30. But I still laud them for keeping the usability of the machine in such high regard. Good ergonomics, ingress/egress, and visibility.
Damn, they really wanted to make a smart statement to Maranello about how fine these cars can be. Maranello just upped the horsepower and sexiness later on. The NSX always just made due with it's sleek, efficient F-16-inspired concept. And I will forever call it a Honda - purely out of respect for the marque. "Acura" is just BS for the USA.
Honda helped Ferarri by building this car like 12 years ago. That's actually the only lingering problem for this car in the current market - it's a pretty damn old design... A great one, but a generation behind. God-fearing peoples should keep their eyes peeled for the next-gen NSX. Batteries and all... And despite the billboards, it will of course be a Honda at heart...
A resounding congrats to "bodypainter" - you have achieved smart-minded-exotic-sports-car-with-Honda-reliability" Nirvana. I'm In Jax, if you want to let me drive!!!
