Wish there was an "It's ok" option... would fit this car better then cool or uncool... But seeing as it was quite good back in the days and a little underestimated, I'll give it "cool".

Definitely one of the best cars ever made. It made everyone stand up and take notice of a Japanese supercar. Yes it didn't have the flare or the style of Italians or Germans, but nevertheless the technology in this car is undeniable.

First car to have an all aluminium frame, first to have VTEC, and developed by Aryton Senna definitely added to its cause.

Even today, this car will not get embarrassed on the track. It is a shame that Honda just let it die away without an replacement.

I put it up for subzero. One of my favorite cars ever. Just watching it kill cars with twice the power and cost. I love how simple it is. It's a drivers car. Not a robot.

I'll say cool just because I know exactly what this car is capable of and what it isn't. No there is no bias in my Vote.

cool, if the support would of been there from the public then i would of been subzero, meaning more backing from the company if the public liked it a lot. still one of the best super sport cars ever made.

I am pretty stingy with my subzero votes, but this got the vote without hesitation. 8) One of my favorite, favorite cars ever.

It rewrote the rules on supercars, looks great, has handling tunned by the great Senna, absolutely wonderful engine, not a common sight, practical...and put Japan on the map for very serious sports-cars, finally! 8) Beyond subzero for me. 8)

I only wish they'd for sure confirm the new NSX, and put that very promising looking Mugen 4.0L V8 in it!

Well I've had a go in quite a few NSX's now from bone stock to fully modded so I know what they are capable of producing. They handle like stink but stop worth shit they are twitchy on the edge but with more rubber on the ground and a better suspension the car is perfect. I may be getting to experience one on the track very soon if all goes alright.

This car is just above the sub-zero level in my opinion. Can beat most supercar with only 280bhp? now thats special. Looks friggin great too, one great engine that even though is de tuned alot still has what it takes play with the best even in a straight line. Its ashame it does'nt sell well, maybe thats because snobby driver will always prefere a ferrari badge over a honda badge, regardless of what there getting.
