If we always buy the same car based on our previous one we owned, were living pretty boring lives as car guys.
Its always good to search for new experiences, change makes life feel longer and richer (to a sense).

This. I went from a Celica to several MR2s to a G coupe to a Suzuki SX4. That change from a V6 to SX4 was drastic yet refreshing. I've had the SX4 since 2011 and my love for it slightly faded once I got the BRZ. To the point that I thought of selling my SX4 for an FR-S. But I'm keeping it because it makes my BRZ feel like a damn supercar in comparison lol. Plus for the sake of that "different automotive experience" - if I indulge in just BRZ/FR-S, that will make me want to "move on" to a completely different car faster. It's like eating gourmet food from the same restaurant... everyday. The taste WILL get stale. So I get where the OP is coming form - life needs change to be interesting.
Anyway, to answer the OP's question. The NSX is probably the last supercar from Japan with a petrol engine and stick shift with clutch pedal. After you let it go and start to miss it (and you WILL miss it) it will be hard to get back. The BRZ, however, will be readily available for the next decade or more.
People who are saying to keep the NSX own a BRZ. That's funny because a used NSX can be had for the price of a new BRZ. Makes me wonder... why didn't
they get an NSX instead?! lol I'd been looking at NSXs through the years and thought about finally getting one last year. But I wanted something with modern tech (best feature I've had prior was an aftermarket MP3/CD player) and safety features (to increase chances of staying alive). And I turned down the Elise (didn't want another 2ZZ-GE with RPMs that need to be raced to appreciate) and C6 (didn't seem that special) for a BRZ also because it's best to buy at the flog-free mileage of 0 -
especially for sports cars (based on my used sports car buying experience). When the BRZ launched, the stars aligned, and it answered all my concerns.
