Definitely styling. I recall seeing them occasionally in the showroom in the mid-90s when I had my Integra and immediately being drawn to the car. Once in a while they'd be unlocked and I could sit in one. Of course the price tag and the fact that it was a two-seater and I had kids to put thru college killed the dream right there. Never thought I'd own one, and I have to pinch myself sometimes when I look at the beauty that sits in my garage.
First test drive story: a good friend of mine, who will be attendng ALMS at Lime Rock with me, called one day knowing I liked Acuras (owned the Integra at the time) and said he was dropping by with a used one for me to look at. Figuring it was a Vigor or a Legend, my jaw dropped when he drove up in a Brooklands Green NSX. He was borrowing it from a buddy who owned a used car dealership. We took it out, he asked if I wanted to drive and I was hooked.
Of course, last year I repeated the jaw dropping experience, only it was his turn, when I pulled into his driveway on the day I picked up my pristine 91.
