I would hate to be an Acura dealer explaining to a rich kid "Sorry, we don't have the car driven by Iron Man."

So did the NSX die off due to demand, recession, another car or what? I am curious.

Is nice but I don't think the car ever hit its mark. Overpriced with no power just the name of the brand and advertisement.

We need more Mid-Engine options, especially if they could ever produce them for around the 30-40k range. I realize the original was overpriced, but a man can dream.
