Anybody bought the latest copy of Classic & Sports Car yet?
2005 NA2 NSX, Berlina Black with full red leather interior.
2016 NC1 NSX, Casino White Pearl with red semi-aniline leather and alcantara.
Yep...
The headline for the article is "Who needs a Ferrari?", they look at 6 affordable rivals to a Maranello money pitThere follows short half page sections on each rival. The cars featured are Alpine A610, Lotus Esprit V8, 911 Turbo (930), Noble M12, one other? and the NSX.
They suggest the NSX's F-car rival is the 328 but that is probably more to fit in with the where the other cars in the group fit in as surely everyone knows the NSX is much nearer to the 348 or even 355. Maybe they baseing it on todays purchase price? J999 xxx, in iconic if predicatablered/black, represents the NSX cause very nicely.
Not a very in depth look and as usual not reseached adaquately, stainless steel exhaust on all NSX's, err.. I don't think so.
Another magazine article for our NSX collections all the same.
Cheers

I think they used the same comparison NSX V 328 about 2-3 years ago in the same magazine. I will have to dig it out!

Honda's Finest Hour
If I remember correctly, it was a silver auto! Might as well compared a Legend 2.7! They said some nice things about handling, but IMHO it was biased towards the Ferrari.Originally Posted by TheSebringOne
Yes, remember something about the usual chestnut "Ferrari not as good a car but stirs the soul more" yada yada
Current article a nice wee snippet anyway. Would love to try an A610, but can't even recall ever seeing one.
