November 5, 1999, on Acura NSX Review:
People nowadays awe at the all aluminum body of the new Modena. Well hello this is something Honda did .... 9 years ago. And one question i want to ask is what difference does $70k make? You don't exactly compare a ford fiesta to a XK8, and wonder "hey why doesn't my fiesta do all the cool tricks that my Jag does?" However this isn't the type of comparison anybody can make between the Modena and the NSX. Yes the Modena is $70k more expensive but, the NSX is actually comparable (and in many aspects e.g. handling and comfort, superior) to the Modena. The sheer fact that a car can be comparable to another car $70k more expensive is something to awe about. The NSX is an awesome car, not much shy of a Modena, but at a super bargain price. I'm sure that if Honda saw any commercial success in beefing up its NSX to a $160k machine, its attempt will be extremely extremely sucessful (in producing a Ferrari, McLauren killer)
