No joke, a bigwig at Honda said the next NSX will wipe the floor with Ferrari. My reading had gotten me to believe no more hybrid NSX (too heavy) but this NSX will be very pure, light, about 350hp V-6.

- Maybe they don't want a 10 year old car
- Maybe they don't want to think about the cost of repairing an ALL ALUMINUM car.

That's a few reasons anyway.

Don't get me wrong, I love the NSX, but it's not for everyone.

Yeah, I cant believe I said that (why would someone take a new TL over a used NSX) I never thought about the huge differences between the cars. In all seriousness, as nice as they are, I would probably invest my 25-30 grand in an older Espirit V8 turbo.... those are faster, albeit not as good looking.
