The 1st NSX is probably the best example of a well engineered car that looked like a $25,000 commuter car. and thanks to the v-tec cruised around like one too. That car was one of the last projects of the late Ayrton Senna, so technically speaking its a piece of history. I think there is a youtube of him talking about it after a testing session.
Now the new NSX is an improvement in both departments but who the heck in sports car world (luxury sedan world seems to be a dif. story) is going to pony up that kind of dough for a Honda when they can buy a Porsche or other German make?
