Acura NSX Approved for Production! Concept to Appear at 2012 Detroit Show - Page 37 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

If I had $150k to spend on a car it'd be a serious contender against a Porsche or Merc. Maybe a used McLaren but I've heard they're finicky. Test drive a GTR and R8 just to make sure I'm not missing out on anything.

Who knows, five years from now, land a few nice promotions and bonuses, I bet they're under $100k used, it's not an impossible to attain car with some luck and financial planning. Certainly less daunting then owning a German engineered car given Honda's great track record with the old nsx and their hybrid systems.

In five years they will all be smashed up by the rich kids buying them now. It is a survivor series car!

Yeah I mean it is attainable without being a millionaire. They are certainly fun as hell to drive. Pretty cheap to rent at those pay-by-the-lap places too. If I gave up sailing and/or flying I would probably own one already.

Disagree, I only found like two fucboi youtube channels with NSX's and the views are abysmal.

Don't care for Mercedes. Or their interiors. Or their depreciation.

And their engine sound doesn't even compare to an NA flat six at 9k.

strat61caster · 10-05-2020, 08:00 PM

Noise is a tie for me, I'd have to drive them before I assume which one would make me happier.

If I'm spending $150k and concerned about depreciation I probably shouldn't be spending $150k lol.

For that money, I am buying the Corvette C8 Z06.

RToyo86 · 10-05-2020, 09:09 PM

First year model prices have dropped to 120k already. 37k cheaper than a new one, much better deal at that price point.

No stereo volume knob though, def worth the extra $30k.

$150,000 could buy you 50 NA miatas. I think the answer is obvious

You can't drive 50 miatas at once.
