I've always wondered about this.
Before the NSX, I thought "exotic" labels were reserved for cars that had the Ferrari or Lamborghini badges attached to it. Certainly not from a car manufacturer like Acura who mass produce daily-driver cars, right?
We all know that the NSX is an exotic sports car. But how so? I heard some say that the Corvette itself is not an exotic, while others say it is. What are the deciding factors to label a car as an "exotic?"
Is it:
Rarity?
Price?
Performance?
Styling?
Reputation?
Auto reviewers from magazines who says so?
Or is it all of the above?
I'd like to clarify this myself once and for all.
