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. |

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

Nope. Not for me.
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.

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. |

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