2007 lexus ls600h...its in the new car and driver. all the lexus forums are talking about it. ill see if i can get some pics to post up

here's a quote from car and driver; " A 5.0 liter version of the 350hp, 4.6 liter V-8 from the LS460 paired with a high-output electric motor. Horsepower should reach a healthy 500. continuously variable transmission. $75,000"

i really wanna buy an older nsx, but the resale is amazing on those cars. i love the older body style

you should move down here then, i see atleast 3 or 4 a week, no lie. One guy had it on ridiculous sized rims, (atleast 19's or 20's) and it was raised up about 3 inchs, god it looked so nasty

Yeah, except for the fact the JDM Supra wasnt exactly as far off compared to the 'NEX as the US version supra we got... NSX is so much more a track ready car than most anything JDM, period. yes, you can make other JDM cars as raw, but you can also take the NSX to a superior level with the green. Let's also not forget that the current NSX hasnt nearly changed as much since 1989 compared to its JDM cousins (last gen supra was 1993, the FIRST R32 was also 89, mitsu diddent even have an evo yet, except the extremely heavy galant , mazda was still rocking the FC... Subaru was still 3 years away from the impreza, non 'rexe'd at that... So to knock the NSX for being not as good considering that it's now almost 17 years old... PLEASE... NONE of the competition still rolls in the same chassis, refreshed or not... the car was a straigh up technological force to be reconed with back in 1989 when it was released, even more so from a company like Honda with no credentials... pay respect where its deserved, people

That is where you're confused about my comments then, the NSX is a really good car and other than the Viper it was the only one of it's kind in 1989 (that is when the production Viper debuted it was I think 90, 91 when it was put on sale for a similar price). I could understand asking a lot of money for it then but compared to cars today it doesn't hold up, by all means I would love to see it stay it's the only Honda I care for, but for $90,000 it isn't like it's going to be an option for the normal enthusiast where other cars with very similar ability such as Supra, MR2, Evo, STi, even the M3, and some AMG cars are becoming easier to attain than the NSX and it would make a good historical display piece but i'll save a boatload of money by getting myself one on that list.
