Better looking in person

Someone in my neighborhood apparently drives one of these now. Still not even slightly tempted with no manual transmission available though.

Also saw both an old and a new NSX this morning, no pics because I was driving. I’d say the new NSX also falls under ‘better looking in person. ’

Feel exactly the same, one of my pals just bought a black one. It looks good but nah.

I’ve only seen a couple driving around, and I still think it looks like a bag of walnuts.

Same. No manuel, no quiero. NSX and Supra alike. I don’t even care how good looking they might be.

The NSX is pretty, but not quite exotic enough for the price tag. Actually, I thought the Supra looked worse in person. It’s different and quite striking, but far too busy for me. They look good in yellow though.

From this angle, sure!

I saw one in person once and nearly had to pull over to relieve the contents of my stomach.

It is, somehow, worse in person. Maybe because in person I can’t click “close tab”.

I’ve seen one pass by my house a few times and a couple of weeks ago I ended up at the stoplight next to it. I agree that they look better in person. I haven’t seen it since but it should look or sound different as the thing was packed with aftermarket part boxes to where you couldn’t even see the driver . It was like that scene in F&F when they order the parts for the Supra. Good on them.

I agree with you on the NSX, but not on the Supra. There are quite a few Supras where I work and they started showing up before COVID-19 took us all out of the office indefinitely... The NSXs are sometimes around, but nowhere near as common.

Interestingly, the first new NSX I ever encountered was prior to production on a curvy mountain road in SoCal...

Agreed about the new NSX. Ive seen a handful now in person and i quite like them in real life.

Still hvaent seen a new supra so hard to say on that one.

I wish I could figure out how to get paid for all my opinions.

Love how they look. Saved up for one for many years in anticipation, but no manual is a dealbreaker unfortunately.

Some people actually do! And a lot of them have terrible opinions!

I don’t understand.

These look good from the side and back, but the “F1 inspired” squidward nose just trashes it for me. FT-1 was gorgeous, but it definitely lost most of the definition going to Supra.

I don’t see why they couldn’t shove the MT from the upcoming M3/4 in there; if they do I would actually consider it.

And there already is a mod out there to fix the window buffeting, the other main gripe I have

I think the key is having the same terrible opinions that a lot of other people have.
