Good point, but at least the NSX can "hang" with others that sort of look the same way, you know?

Just seems like an empty shell if you ask me - the shape and doors are cool, and they proved they could make the hybrid approach work - but it's all a little limp wristed from my perspective.
I agree completely there must be something going on within the company because there was a point in time where the i8 was actually innovative..... and now it just sits at the top of the range occupying a price point. The 5 and 7 series have surpassed it as far as technology and safety systems and this spyder should have been released 3-4 years ago because it brought nothing noteworthy fundamentally with it
