Its in a weird segment. It probably isn't going to take sales away from a 911T or GT3 as I think Porsche buyers are probably only looking at Porsches. It doesn't have the name to take sales from Aston Martin. It isnt a Super car so it isnt going to compete with McLaren, Ferrari and Lambo. So its market is basically someone whos looking at an R8. But compared to the R8 you get a hell of alot of tech and a way more advanced car.
Its a great car, just not sure whos going to buy it. $200-$225k. FWIW The one in Kelowna is sold. |
The previous gen NSX was $142,000 in Canada. ($88,845 US)
The NSX was NEVER a popular seller.
People called it a poor man's Ferrari, Ferrari knock off, Ferrari wannabe, over priced Honda, and you would often hear "only 290hp for $142k, are you kidding me?" blah blah blah ...
NSX was a very niche car and only very few people understood the history behind it and what it's worth.
It was also substantially more than Dodge Viper GTS and Porsche 911, a lot of people couldn't understand why Honda would ever worth that much.
Gordon Murray said that if he was to give McLaren F1 10/10, he would give NSX 7/10, and Ferrari and Lamborghini are only 2/10 or 3/10.
