if honda decides to make the nsx again, i'd rather buy that and keep the spare money.
Pretty much sums it up there . . . I was thinking the whole time: This should have been the NSX, and you can bet they wouldn't slap that kind of price tag on it.

I have a video somewhere of the V10 NSX concept running the Ring, and it sounds similarly awesome.

Great review of a Great car. But the price is just outrages. I'll have a Murci SV and a few Supersport bikes

Although I agree the price is whimsically steep, I think they will have no problem selling them all... Instant collector car.

Regardless of how few they make, being that it is a Lexus, it will never command any real value as a collectable anywhere in the Western world. That has been proven many times over with countless other makes. Give it a few years, and I wouldn't be shocked to see them being sold at half their price tag, with even that being well overpriced.
Despite its unsettling appearance, there are some interesting innovations in this vehicle that hopefully find their way down to other models. But, as far as this car itself being something marketable, because of its completely unrealistic price, it is a failure. A lot of these will probably sit in the dealer showrooms for awhile. The fact that it likely won't be anymore capable than the GT-R, is going to leave a lot of people scratching their head as to why they should purchase one unprestigious Japanese marque over another, especially when the LF-A costs 6 times more.
