Why?
Personal Preference....
Here is a list of what I could have purchased for the same price as the NSX, but didn't, because I wanted a NSX (but I had too look just to see)...
Ferrari 308/348 (and Mondial)
Lotus Espirit/Elise/Exige
Maserati Spyder/Coupe
Chevrolet Corvette Z06
Mercedes SL
Porsche 911/Cayman (and Boxster)
Aston Martin DB7
BMW M3/M Roadster
And all were newer cars...except the 308s (and Mondials), and the 348 ranged from 91-94, and all are very nice cars.
Only I didn't want those other cars....the NSX has always been THE car I wanted. I like, not only the simple and clean styling of the car, but also the reliability. Let's face it though, the first thing that draw somebody to a car is styling. I like simple, not in your face styling, which is why I like the NSX (and 360, F355) over something that is in your face like the Elise/Exige (although I like the styling of the Espirit). It's just a matter of taste.
