But a truly to die for car, not something you can say about a Nsx. Yeah i know someone whos got a 720s. Hopefully get to see it in the flesh and go for passenger ride....a brand new specced up NSX is £180,000 give or take. an extra £40,000+ if you have that kind of money £40k extra isnt the end of the world for a lot of people. In that market they arent going to be saying oh look £30,000 its wayyy out of my budget range... For people who can afford its realistic... For people who spent that on their house it isnt a little on top......For the dude who I know got one few weeks back its the same as he spent renting out a private jet for a short trip with 10 of his mates. AS they say if you are in that market for real you wont think £30,000 extra is much unless youre buyin on credit. NSX SLS AMG 911 Turbo. Why would anyone pick NSX out of the 3 lol unless your a die hard JDM fan or just curious for something different....

So on your assumption, why does anyone buy a SLS, 911 etc etc when they can afford a 720s or Huracan for example?

Maybe in US where its been shot to pieces by critics. Lets stick to the original topic. Type R.... Not really interested in arguing symantecs about a car ive only ever seen one of in North London. And probably driven by a Honda tech or Honda CEO...beautiful car though. Each to their own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jetpilot Posted June 20, 2018 Share Posted June 20, 2018 (edited) How about the 100 that were pre ordered and sold in the UK and a waiting list if you want to order one to spec (we've been through that ), and no they havent been shot to pieces by critics, appreciate the car for what it is, not what you "think" or want to believe. But your are right, lets get back to the Type R unless you want to discuss facts, not opinion. Type R, unanimously ugly as sin, get one you will love it http://www.evo.co.uk/honda/nsx https://www.autocar.co.uk/car-review/honda/nsx Edited June 20, 2018 by Jetpilot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Dan would buy a 911 over all of those - we discussed it on about our 9th beer at Coventry last year! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No need to ride on a comment i made 20 replies ago..LOL.... Im a Honda guy ive had a couple, I would buy the Type R despite it being ugly as you say. Why because Im not concerned with street credibility. Im happy with Nismo until I find a buyer.....Not sure why you are going on for infinity about an NSX that priced in a market people go for other cars with badge.... Stick to the topic or open up an NSX thread if you love it so much. This is starting to remind me of those guys on Pistonheads.....roflll.....Kill the NSX talk...its dead.....I say apples you say oranges. I l have an opinion on apples you have a higher opinion on oranges. We know LOL.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can release a pen make limited number and say sold out, exclusive, rare commodity. All marketing jazz lol. Some dealers can order a pen put 5 pages on it and resell as used after 10 miles.
