Screw the NSX. It's too overpriced.

Honda needs a $30,000 - $40,000 sports car in the same ilk as the RX7/350Z/Supra

S2000?

S2000 competes with Boxster/Audi TT/SLK/Z4. Not the same league as those Japanese SC's I mentioned.

They do. Haven't you heard of the SC300-TT?

The 3l I6 in the Supra TT and in the other Lexi cars (SC300/GS300/IS300) are similar but there are differences in the engine internals. It's the same deal with hte VG30DE (which is used in the 300ZX TT, non-TT, J30). The turbocharged engine has various differences to account for the stress of the added boost. that said, there are turboed GS300/IS300 running around.

I just hope Toyota doesn't screw around with the styling.
