I think it's sad, in the automotive world, that by time a company comes out with something really cool, no one can buy it. Ford and Honda are two of the worst companies, in my opinion. Even the Supra was twice the value of the NSX.

Look at the Ford GT. In my opinion, one of the most awesome looking cars ever put on the road. Great performance....similar to a Z06 and Viper. But almost TWICE the cost of both!!! The Cobra R that came out in 2000 was a wicked car, but fell behind the C5 Z06 in every category....yet cost about 2k more MSRP. And the GT 500 Mustang. Pretty cool styling, big ass supercharged motor (much better engine than the Cobra), but terrible braking and handling and weighs a ton. Yet it's the same cost of a base C6 Coupe that beats it in every single performance category.

I think the NSX would have been more of a "legend" had it been around 40 in the early 90's, and around 60 now. That seems to be a reasonable price. It really was (is) a very stylish car, and has very good all round performance. But at 80k, it will never be respectable nor will you see people driving them. It really sucks.
