<sigh>
Nothing I haven't heard before...here we go:
This guy is a porsche nut. Bottom Line. Everything in that screams "Porsche." In fact, Porsche is one of the only modern sports cars that DOESN'T sit eye level with SUVs bumbers (360, NSX, Viper, lambo, corvette...) So thats out.
As far as handling: Correct me if I'm wrong but doesn't the NSX produce faster lap times than a porsche (minus the turbo)???
Braking: I'll give that one to the porsche, but still, it stops very very nice compared to just about any car on the road (minus your Benz, Lexus's, BMWs, Porsches)...
Acceleration: We've been beaten with this one already...its OLD
WE DON'T CARE
I have never ever had a problem illuminating the road with my headlights...and the car is so low that i can often times run with my high beams and not bother any other driver...
If safety is an issue, which it seems to be with you, then YOU need to be driving one of those 4500lb SUVs...but don't roll over
I'm sorry you feel your car is a toy...for 80k, you better not have expected anything more than something to ENJOY...otherwise, be like the typical person and buy a camry, v6 mustang, corolla, or an explorer.
