1. It's dated, it's old, it's about to get redone.
2. It once had a 4 cylinder.
3. it's brakes burn out too easily
4. performance wise, it's not that impressive
5. it's very expensive, more than an M3 or C55 and it doesn't beat them either.
6. It doesn't seem to be very safe.
Personally, I think that getting a nice Porsche would be better.

NSX vs. M3 vs. C55 would be a driver's race.
Yes, the current NSX is a bit overpriced for it's performance figures.

NSX has depreciated a lot since 2005 so it's not very expensive. It's less expensive than the Porsche Cayman S, and I think it looks cooler.

The Porsche Cayman S, I would seriously pay the extra $15k to get the 911 and get the best. Although I gotta say, the Cayman S is definitely one hell of a car.

Most definitely, and she doesn't depreciate as fast as one. At least I hope not.
A wife for ten years, does cost more than $100k. I guess he can get an even more expensive car.

If that's the case, I'd rather be single! I don't like pretentious gold diggin' chicks! But yeah, I'll still get the TT.
