Let me start... if you are a judgmental person, you may want to leave now. I recognize that my discussion is just the ramblings of someone who is fortunate enough to have this issue.
In any event, I've had my NSX for a longer period of time than any other car I've owned (6.5 years) thus far. I love the car and I've made it look just like I'd like it to. However, I find that I'd like to try something different. I've seen lots of people go and come back to the NSX and I don't want to do that.
I love the "exoticness" of the NSX. I don't like it's lack of name recognition from none car people (and no, I didn't buy the car because of other people's perception, but it is fun to have a special car and it would be even better if people recognized what it is by what its called). I have lust in my heart for a Gallardo, unfortunately, howver, it's not in the cards right now (i.e., I can't afford it yet).
I wouldn't mind having more power (though I don't feel like the NSX is slow, it's just slow compared to my slightly mod'd SRT8 Jeep!).
If I sold it, I'd need to replace it with something that was at the same price point (30-35K). I've thought about a Viper (seems like it'd be fun, but the interior is just awful and they lack every creature comfort that is otherwise available in most any other car); an Elyse (seems like it'd be fun, but the interior is actually more spartan than the Viper); a C5 Z06 or a C6 Vette (they are not unique enough, visually or otherwise, so it's off the table); a Maserati (too expensive to maintain)... I can't think of any other "exotic" cars that blend decent performance, great handling, good reliability, and are at that price point.
I definitely want an "exotic" car and I find myself coming to the following conclusion... until I can afford the Gallardo, the NSX is probably still the best car for me.
