The NSX is a much more practical decision in just about every capacity, but I wanted this car too much, and even still, the NSX doesn’t have the rarity and charm factor that the Lotus does. I mean everything about the Lotus says “hand built.” I love that and hate that, but I wouldn’t have it any other way either.
I’ve ALWAYS been a Honda/Toyota guy. Always. But the Lotus was the whole reason behind me liking cars from age 4 and on. It’s like the odd obsession you have for something, but can never really explain it.
Needless to say, the NSX will be next. Hopefully by 2010.
