I thought that Camaro commercial was the only funny ad of the Super Bowl. Than again, I was actually watching the game (painful as it was).

Seinfeld's NSX commercial was labored and screeching like most things Jerry does. Although I give Acura thumbs up for at least trying. Most of their recent ads are just painfully boring. And the cars look like they've been designed by a half-blind man with affinity for pelicans. How else would you explain those beaks?

Honda design the NSX to be daily driven super car and my NSX is my daily driver in the summer.

def not wrong. i had a 95 c2, and this picture is of my current 97 nsx-t.

you will see that people will talk all they want about "no soul" or it being a honda. Well, anyone that has actually owned an NSX will tell you it definitely isnt like any other honda/acura, and it does have a "soul"...trust me.

there is nothing like the feeling in this car after 4-5k when the vtec kicks in, all the way to the 8k redline. the sound of the intake right behind your ears is just heavenly.

just like there is nothing like the feeling you get when driving a 993, its the same with an NSX..a whole different feeling than any other car on the road. just knowing how much engineering went into it, along with the input from THE Ayrton Senna. Really only people that have owned the car would understand.

I really liked the original NSX but the "Honda Accord" interior really let it down for me. If they had styled the interior to match the exterior then it would be a hard car to turn down. Just didn't look "wow" enough on the inside.

I wouldn't say wrong, but its different driving experience. I prefer the 2005 NSX; I enjoy both my NSX and 993tt. I wouldn't sell either one.

"Really only people that have owned the car would understand" I agree completely.

I can understand that, even though all the parts pretty much were unique to the nsx...

Also another thing. The seating position and view from the drivers seat. I haver driven a car that matched the driving position of an nsx. Truly f1 like

Hope this new one carries over all the good traits the original had.

Having driven several NSX over the years, it has to be the easiest exotic car on the road. The cabin is perfect in terms of driver fit and the ease of use is what all car companies should strive for. The closest exotic car to this, that I have driven , is the R8. A friend has an R8 and an NSX and prefers the NSX, he finds the shifter on the R8 too far away and like rowing a boat.

We all know Seinfeld is a huge Porsche fan. I wonder what he thinks about Honda
