Yes, the current NSX is a bit overpriced for it's performance figures.

That said, it was pretty amazing when it came out.

The only Honda I would buy from the entire line up, including the Acura models and the NSX would be the S2000.
I hear that's a nice toy.
Otherwise; Honda? Pass.

You guys like to rip on fit and finish, build quality and interior quality- the NSX was horrible in that area. For a suposedly almost hand built car, its perceived quality was dreadful.

I also have another Siemens Generator. A German one.
Sigh, now that I have the generators, we in CA don't have anymore rolling black outs.
Possibly thanks to Ken Lay and our other electricity friends in Texas. Actually I don't know the true story so I won't say too much.

I agree, it's totally useless and fruitless to compare a Mercedes to an Acura. Let's compare it to at least something RWD such as Infiniti or Lexus.
G35 VS C350
IS250 VS C230
Keep in mind, the handling on these two Japanese sports cars are already nearly equivalent to Mercedes/BMW handling. So the handling advantage we once had, no longer truly exists.

Yes I'm happily married, but sometimes I think they know that they have your N*ts, in a bag, from the day you get married until you die. Then they auction the whole lot, and party.

Are you sure? With mostly vitriolic comments you sound more agitated than a ticking time bomb
. Get your wife to buy life insurance, and perhaps think of a way to profit from it.

Actually, I didn't find that many faults with the G35's interior. Wasn't too bad, it even had stitched leather on the doors on the armrest and grab handles. The radio control knobs and the temperature control knobs were made of solid brass.
Not that bad of a car.
Handling was actually very good. I was truly dumbfounded in surprise with how well that car handled. I'd say very close to Mercedes/BMW.

Yea, I'd never kill my wife to collect the insurance money.
Killing the wife is possible, but not for the insurance money.
Just kidding. I'd never kill anybody for any reason whatsoever.
I guess I'm lucky, I'm too young to be married.
