    Who are these NSX owners who got the hump and agreed to fix prices?!

    Gordon Murray knows.
    Rowan Atkinson knows.
    It's the Honda NSX."

    No idea who, typical journo click bait. There have been conversations about the value for insurance purposes but that is not "price fixing" as described in the article.

    That’s so not the truth. Everyone knows that I single-handedly artificially inflated prices whilst the rest of you complain that your investments were overperforming, or that it wasn’t true. Oh how we laughed, but mostly grimaced.

    This makes interesting reading as it appears that at the end of 2005 there was 209 licensed NSX's but as of the begining of 2023 109 licensed and 146 on a SORN.

    I'm assuming that HONDA NSX V6 AUTO are NC1 cars as the figures start in Q4 2016 when the first cars arrived in the UK.
    2005 NA2 NSX, Berlina Black with full red leather interior.
    2016 NC1 NSX, Casino White Pearl with red semi-aniline leather and alcantara.

    typical "badge envy" type commentary. I had this for 20+ years under Skyline Nisssan's badge. In fact at one time Nissan came up with a great marketing slogan, but it was too risky for Nissan as it was a clear dig at Porsche and similar high end power/fast car competitors..."more balls than badge".

    The problem is when you go the other extreme and people defend the brand to the extreme...again Skylines had shocking interiors but owners try to defend them, wrongly!

    As least the NSX has a good balance of everything!
