If you could stand the outdated interior I would say go for it. I personally wouldn't trade my IS350 for anything except Nissan GT-R.

Me and you are in the same boat, I figure I might as well go for the home run if I wanted to trade my IS350 in for a new car. The new M3 is nice, the new IS-F is cool, the new C63 looks good, the upcoming CTS-V is probably a beast but the GT-R stands out heads and shoulders above the rest. A Porsche GT3 is also a car I have my eye on but I doubt it'll come near the 70-80k price range in a few years.

The only thing that bothers me is the miles on this car. It drives very well and the outside of the car is exceptional outside of some very minor things. For 28-30k bucks I can't buy a GTR or similar up-to-date speed demons. If I could find a yellow NSX-T with low miles It would probably cost 10 grand more.

I've seen a few beautifully-maintained NSX's roaming about Vegas (A white and a Black one, unknown years). Good luck on your quest

If it's not a dd & you never carry more than one passenger, NSX > IS350

I was talking about current cars.

If the LF-A doesn't come with a manual I would still take the NSX. It will always be a special car to me.

Every time I hear about/see an NSX, reminds me of Ayrton Senna. If I had the cash for a weekend car, I would buy the NSX just because of Senna and the awesome sound the engine makes.

I think you're getting the drift here... if not a daily driver, this is a no brainer. One of these days I will add "Imola Orange NSX" to my sig

I'm looking at the same car. getting rid of the Lexus and into an NSX or Lotus. The lotus elise/exige is super small though and the NSX is years older. I've been getting serious, but going to wait to test drive them. It just keeps snowing or there's salt on the roads here, not the time to see how these cars handle. The exige is just above what I want to pay, Elise is the bottom, and about a 97' NSX-t is in the middle.
