    Sounds too numb for my tastes; I'll stick to the NA2 thanks.

    “I find myself irresistibly attracted to cars that nobody else buys. The NSX is a classic of the genre because nobody buys it and yet it’s a fantastic car. It’s got a wonderful compactness and simplicity and unpretentiousness to it. Honda rudely continues to make them whether we like it or not, even though there can be no commercial logic in doing so — I thoroughly admire that.” Rowan Atkinson

    Too right I'm upset Gary as that's exactly what I would have said and more.

    In fact he describes almost exactly it how I remember driving my brother in laws R8 over a few days, over time, numbing handling and non engaging.

    It sounds like it is great with the correct tyres on it. Good to read some first hand experiences.

    What do people think of the wheels design? Very different IMHO.

    Is the R&T review a 'knock off' of the latest Honda review by Troy Queef?

    Penmanship without comparison.

    These, are (IMHO)better than these, but the same wheels without the brightwork look ok: - these Y spoke wheels are less "look at ME" than the 'twisted' design - more classy & subtle vs. brash & trendy - all in my humble opinion.

    Lots of nice photos on the motortrend review - hopefully they will offer an option to have the bright beak made matt / body colour / black - it sticks out like a sore you-know-what!
