February 29, 2000, on Acura NSX Review:
I think the we all tend to miss the point of the competetion thing. A Ferrari, a Lamborghini,a Viper, A Porsche, and an NSX....all fast cars...some faster than others....my opinion....I DONT HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO OWN A FERRARI, SO I WILL DRIVE AN NSX. WHY? THE NSX IS THE CLOSEST LOOKING THING TO A FERRARI. AND I CAN DRIVE MY NSX...PUT 30 THOUSAND MILES ON THE DAMN THING, SPEND A THIRD LESS ON MAINTENANCE, AND WHEN IT COMES TIME TO SELL IT....NO MAJOR DROP IN THE VALUE. NO SNOBBY FERRARI "BUYER" ASKING...MY GOD...YOU ACTUALLY DROVE YOUR FERRARI!?....YOU ARE ALL FORGETTING THE REAL ISSUE....WE HAVE AN ECONOMY AND VALUE BASED AUTO MAKER PRODUCING THEIR VERSION OF AN EXOTIC CAR. THE NSX IS EXACTLY WHAT I WOULD EXPECT FROM A COMPANY LIKE HONDA...WELL MADE...RELIABLE...AND WITH A LITTLE PERFORMANCE THROWN IN....I KIND OF LIKE BEING THE UNDER DOG.
