Acura took too long to update NSX styling?!?

Hmm...

I for one...really like the design and believe they were right to maintain the platform as they did.

I'm with Mike!
The original design was absolute 'sex'; how could you not love it?

I would drive one in a heartbeat.

BTW, when I frequented NSX forums, there were rumors that the 3.0-3.2 cars would drastically go down in value.

There was actually a rush of FS cars when these rumors were floating around.

You do not like the latest z?


I love them, we took one up to a dragon meet and it hung with the 911's and 944's just fine out there. I was hugely impressed with it.


Plus when you drop them and put some rims on them they look like sex.

I told the owner of this car, "every once in a while you see car car so well done that you feel like you have to own one NOW", that is exactly how I feel about this 350Z. I love its look and already know I live its performance.

I do not know if your joking or not but I like it a lot its understated, purely rims and suspension and no rice sticker, wings or spoilers just a clean car with a mean look. I have seen these same rims on 930's and they look good on them as well.

Plus these cars move and corner well. We have one coming out to our local AX and it is up in the top 5 cars normally. Not shabby.

That z looks really good, it almost looks like it has 930 flares on back!

It's not so much that I don't like the car, but you see them EVERYWHERE and they're typically driven by an 18 y/o kid or a 30-something who thinks he owns a sportscar now... just as with anything else that's good until you've had too much...over-saturation.

Hey Jim,
There's no arguing that she's a babe, that's for sure.
I couldn't fit in them from 300?something? model on.
I was also disappointed when they went from their own unique body style to that of Porsche.
I don't care for Porsche copy cat models; which there are alot of today.

I had the 240Z, 280Z & 280ZX models. Was about to buy a 300ZX and switched to Porsche. ;)

That car is pure evil though, nice pics!

I agree a NSX is not a ricer!
The car is awesome to see on the road, I am 6’4” and tried to sit in one once, no way, not built for the tall lanky enthusiast.
There is one that shows up at our Sat AM Starbucks greet and meet in the summer, nicely mod’ed and the most beautiful color of yellow I have seen.

I can see myself owning one someday, good luck with yours!

I remember when the NSX came out, thought it was one of the coolest cars I had ever seen. Not sure it has aged well though. I've driven a couple of them and they are impressive to say the least. Plenty of power to me. But they are too "new", too "refined" for me. It does everything well without making you have to work for it.
