Porsche builds a NSX

- Start date
yes, but unlike the "other car" you know, people will be able to identify it -- it will look like every other porsche. 
And you think this remark is worth a thread of it's own instead of adding it to an existing thread about the cayman?Akira said:
Who are you to say it's valid or not to start a thread 
Umm... okay so back to the topic...
So I was saying... I fell in love with NSX, and now I may be able to get one. BUT I see this new Caymen S, which should be very similar in performance and cost to NSX. Now I don't know what to do... In one hand, NSX was my dream car. But in other hand Caymen is newer and more modern... So what do you think?

I think it looks a lot like the old Speeder.
I think it is butt ugly and looks just like any other current gen Porsche, except for the Cayenne. Plus, why would they have two vehicles with such similar sounding names, it is hard enough for the rednecks to keep them straight now
i like that new VW bug. :biggrin:
hummmm but the logo looks diff, looks like that bug has a porsche Emblem..... weird

forget about the numbers, they don't really talk in the auto world
the NSX is quite a unique evhicle, there is nothing like it in the world, not even this new prsche can match it in my eyes
just remember, if you look at numbers, then the new nissan 350z would be an opponant of the nssx, but in reality, it's noware close.
I recal reading a poll, on the best sportscar of all time, (it was from Autocar magazine)
I'll give you the top 10 list as I remember it
1- the mac f1
2-Ferrari F40
3- 1993 Porsche RS
4- I don't remember
5- I don't remember
6-I don't rememeber
(well you get the idea)

10- yours trully, the one and only, NSX
so you see, the NSX is a very special car regardless of the upcoming competition
I just wish those idiots at Honda would produce a new one
this is supposed to be the next "boxster"
No, this is the cp version of the current boxster.JDM NSX said:

it's not a NSX
hmmm... Well it's been 16 years afterall, lol! A very unfitting comparison...
The mid-range Porsche model is supposed to slotted between the Boxster & the 911. In the magz it was stated to be a revised Boxster in a coupe form, morseso tuned for the track. A more upmarket Lotus Elise per se'.
I would assume it'll be a $60k model (much more after spec'd w/ Porsche's "optional equipment"). It can't be priced much higher or else it'll be just like BMW's faux paus in releasing the X3 too similarly proportioned, spec'd, and equipped to the X5 (X5 is being revised and will be bigger & better than before, widening the gap w/ it's smaller sibling).
This new model by Porsche is to fatten up the profits, just like the Cayenne has... not take away sales from the 'prodigal' 911!
All I can say is those 360 F1 Modena prices better start sinking!!!

Re: it's not a NSX
Good assumption, but apparently wrong.
Two major mags (C&D and MT, I believe) have recently written that the car is supposed to start at $75K. In P-car speak that means that after you get just the basic options (metallic silver paint, red leather interior, sports package and HID headlmaps) you're looking at a low to mid $80K sports car.
No thanks Porsche.

It looks just like it's namesake, a "Cayman". Kinda ugly, but that's just my opinion.
They should name it the "Coupster"
