Makes you wonder what the fate of Porsche will be in the future, now that they have apparently decided they must have an entry in practically every product class. Of course, even at 100,000 or so cars a year, Porsche is a long way from the production levels of the majors.
Hi,

I agree with you so far as styling is concerned on the NSX, but it's just not a particularly good Driving Experience, much more like a Super Civic than a Performance Car.

The Foley Artist for Pulp Fiction did an excellent job on the soundtrack of Winston Wolf's NSX, cause you're never gonna hear one in real life sound like that. Oh, another thing about the movie, when Mr. Wolf offers to give Jules and Vincent a lift in his NSX (until he finds out they're going to Tarzana) from "Monster Joe's Truck and Tow", where was he going to put them... Strap them across the Hood?...

Happy Motoring!... Jim'99
