Acura NSX: Japanese Super-Car

Acura cars have not been around for very long, but within those few years they have created a name and customer base that can best be described as loyal, happy, and enjoys smelling the roses from the cockpit of their Acura, instead of the gardens of their homestead.  Two years after its initial introduction, the 1991 Acura NSX (all-aluminum body) super car took on the markets of Ferrari and Porsche; proving itself a rather worthy competitor to the surprise of most magazines and car critics.  The NSX Acura is a super car indeed built within the realm of economy and reliability, but within the aspirations of drivability and superiority over most other cars within its class of vehicle.

Looking back upon the 2 fast 2 furious Acura NSX, we could see the beginnings of the tuner craze that soon followed.  The NSX was of course always popular with the tuner crowd but the movie helped it along all the more.  It was not long after that it was next to impossible to find a decent used Acura NSX for sale, with the clamoring of tuners snatching them up as project cars.  Even today the classic 2 fast 2 furious has a mimicked version in just about every town across America.

At Acura NSX Seattle, you can find just about any year Acura NSX for sale that you could ever want.  Checking these out on EBay are a great place to start, to begin to narrow down your choices once that Acura NSX fever has struck.  Speaking of EBay, you will also find a plentitude of 95 Acura NSX aftermarket products, as well as most other years of course, like the Acura 2004 NSX and 2005 Acura NSX.  The Acura NSX stereo and Acura NSX stock mats are the worst designed parts on the whole vehicle in this author’s opinion; which thankfully are easily rendered with a few pieces of aftermarket EBay gold exchanged in their place. 

The next generation Acura NSX set to hit the showrooms in over a year is the 2008 Acura NSX.  This next Acura NSX has a lot to prove to reach the expectations of its current fan base, but Acura appears to have everything under control.  And by under control, I am referring to the new all-wheel-drive 500 horsepower V10 that is currently the buzz over at Acura.  With hints of a design that simulate that of the Lamborghini, Aston Martin, and Dodge Viper all rolled into one!

The Acura NSX appears to be staged to continue its climb into super car status which will unfortunately put the dreams of ever owning one by your average Joe further and further down the line.  However, the one good point is as the years pass by the older NSX’s will continue to depreciate and become viable purchase choices for us average hard working folk.  But for you who can easily see the likes of the brand new 2008 Acura NSX in your driveway I say “Touché” to you.  Just don’t forget to treat them gently, for when we can finally get our turn behind the wheel, we want them to be as fresh as possible.

But really, who am I kidding?  I doubt the word “gently” has ever been uttered out of the mouth of a true enthusiast that has ever graced the steering wheel of an Acura NSX!
