    There are some pretty trick design elements of the NSX. My favorite is the storage area under the rear window for the targa top. The interiors are nice and everything is just where you want it, but with an obvious sports car design. The 348 is a bit more minimalist, but to me both are beautiful cars.
    Since Oscar mentioned it, I have to go with few personal favorites of my 348... And a few choice NSX pics...

    I think Oscar is a little sensitive on the NSX subject........ I like HONDA'S too, my little sister drives one.

    I really dredging this argument up again and again. The NSX would only be chosen over any Ferrari if you were not a Ferrarista and don't understand the whole Ferrari mystique. You are either into the Italian supercar experience or not. You can't get it in an NSX. It's a differernt experience, so I do not understand the feeble attempts to make this comparison. If anyone would even consider the two cars, then obviously the 348 is not for them. Once you have the 348 (or the 355 or 328 or 308 or just about any Ferrari) in your blood, no Japanese pretender can satisfy.

    Personally I found the NSX to be an adequate performer, if not a bit slow - not that I can argue since I have a 348. It cornered pretty well. However, it is not an engaging experience. I had no trouble parking the car and leaving it without looking back. The ergonomics did not suit me either. The dash is too far away - it slopes away from the driver - and the door is too low, or the seat too high. There is no exhaust note to speak of and it has a Japanese car smell, which is to say, not much of one. You know, I say the same things about my 996 Turbo. Best Honda you'll ever drive. And if you don't understand what that means, get the NSX. :)
