Some of you know that I traded in my Orange/Orange NSX back in Oct 04 for a new Lamborghini Gallardo. Ever since I made that trade I missed my NSX and for the last year have been looking to find another one. My search ended last week and I arrived home on Monday with my new toy!
Many of you have commented about how nice it is to be able to drive a great car a long distance and not worry about it breaking down or not having to think if you're safe or not. Well, after driving off the dealer's lot on Friday in Chicago of all places, I wondered if I would have buyer's remorse. This was my 3rd NSX and why would I buy another Orange car? After the first 30 seconds, I was back home! (as far as being happy to be in the NSX once again)
Driving a comfortable, fast, great handling and reliable car is unheard of in the rest of the exotic car world. I know, I've been in with the Ferrari and Lambo crowd. They say, the Jap car isn't really an exotic, but how many cars survive in this auto world for over 15 years?
My Lambo is very fast, loud , corners like an F1 and has been in the shop 12 times in the first year of ownership. I broke down on Ortega Highway in the dead of summer and was able to limp home with numerous stops. I'm slowly building my confidence on doing longer drives, but could never drive cross state let alone cross country!
My trip from Chicago to San Diego brought alot of complements wherever I went. "What kind of car is that?"
"is that a Corvette?" "What a cute color!" "Is it fast?" "How much did it cost?" I thought I could wait out Acura's next NSX, but we still don't know when or if that will ever happen.
After owning these two cars I can tell you what would make the ultimate next generation of NSX! There is no reason why Honda can't come up with a trully ultimate exotic to once again show the auto world!
I hope to share more with you in the future.
