    Don't comment; "why am I posting this video on the 348 / 355 section", just watch a listen to it till the end, very interesting.

    It will make you want to keep your pre 2000 Ferrari for ever.

    That's already my plan. ;)

    Interesting video, though.

    cool vid....having owned an original NSX I empathize with the comments about today's technology in modern supercars.

    One just passed me yesterday. I was near Honda US headquarters so I am not surprised. I like how it looks. But I really don't like the hybrid supercars nowadays.

    +1. It's cars like this that cemented my desire for a 348 (instead of even a 355).

    I own a 93 NSX. Love the car and the fact it was a game changer back in the day. Saw the new car and don't like it. A disgrace to the original. They really missed the mark with this car. The R35 GTR beat it to the punch and is much more a game changer - like the old car was.

    I don't mind the way it looks, but I could do without the digital tachs

    Nice honest video. I was really looking forward to the new NSX, but like the Nissan 350Z it is a let down. I cant think of very many "throw back" cars that made the same stir as the original ones did.

    My Dad has a 97 nsx with 22K miles. Fun car, but doesnt compare to the 355.

    I'd take the new NSX or Fort GT over anything Ferrari is currently offering.

    Still love that car. The note seems to be if you want an older NSX better jump on it now. Which is what I've been saying for 2 years now. I get the comment about legacy between the 2 cars. At the NSX price point, you are getting quite a lot. I wonder what they would get if they made a non-hybrid version alongside this one. Lose 73HP but also 500 lbs of weight. Could be fun.

    the guy who reviewed the car apparently has a 355 and he mentions it at the end of the video...hence it is good enough for this thread...hmmmm

    It still needs to get moved to the "other" car section. This is not the NSX section.

    Is that a yellow 355 in the far back garage area?

    Great video. I totally agree. The car is too much bs invested into it. It really turned me off when he said it handled like a video game. So much disconnect in the driving? What is the point. It sounds to me with the suspension and acceleration...it's ripping the essence of enjoyment out of driving. Like the now muted sound of F1...

    With those lines? Count me out. Looks like every other generic supercar right now (minus the 458)..
