    I guess most people consider Lambos, Ferraris, Maserati's, etc... as exotics b/c those are super super rare and very expensive.

    Either way, i love the NSX
    Why does every body use the excuse "It's a Honda." or "It's still just a Honda." or "It's only a Honda." or similar terms???

    Anyone care to explain what they think is soooOOooo bad about Hondas?

    LOL, yea but most people think of everything you said in between the "shitload of money to repair."

    Besides, i never said there was anything wrong with a Honda. And it's not like i knocked on a Honda or anything like that.

    Now, when i say the word: "Honda", honestly, HONESTLY, what do you think?

    but see a lambo is all about class and prestige. I'd rock the hell outa a 30th anniversary countache... simply because not many people have 'em. Its a rare sight and just sheer pimpness. People buying them likely would care less about performance... for the price you're paying you can make something homebrew perform better in every way... but its all about the label "Lamborghini"... Sure they cant sell no lambo with a b16 in it and expect it to sell, but its all about the their image... Pimp ass cars, which are also potent, rare and expensive.

    This is exactly what i was talking about

    And like i said before, and i'm pretty sure i speak for randomguy too, we're not knocking on the NSX in ANY WAY. Just this is what people think man

    I guess thats what normal people think.


    I'm not normal. I care about performance over "labels".

    Fine, how about we make a poll seeing what people would rather drive.

    A Honda or a Lambo

    We're not debating here about price or best bang for the buck, none of that. Just what they would drive. ANY HONDA vs ANY LAMBO

    nah but the difference is that i DO think the NSX is an exotic... it strays from the typical "Honda" ... back then how many 6speeders were there? Shit sat LOW to the ground... super-duper well engineered. $90k... even for that much you coulda built a faster car... (well... this will be contested, duh... i know honda spent mad money engineering the shit... but lets pretend ok?) The car has "prestige pricing" you know those who can buy them will...

    the definition of exotic is liek something thats fuckin unusual, and not a daily site, or RARE.... both of these apply directly to the NSX. and lol back in like 94 or somethin i had an "exotic car calendar".... and you best bet it had an NSX in it(along with diablos, buggati's, ferraris; the italian monsters, etc).... lol I still have it if anyone wants proof lol.

    that solidifies the claim that NSX's ARE exotic

    I didn't claim it wasn't. Just not as rare as other shit. I see more NSX's than i do Lambo's/Ferrari's/Porsches/etc.

    Thats the thing. Its just a matter of personal opinion.

    I could give a fuck less about a "label" or how *expensive* a car is.

    And to GTIKID.... It was an honest response
