YOU said your reason for preferring the Ferrari was "in the end it is a Ferrari." That has NOTHING to do with the virtues of the car itself, only the name. That statement makes you sound like the other douches that buy the car for the name.
Like I already said, buying a Ferrari doesn't make you a dickhead if you do it for the RIGHT reason. Buying it because "it is a Ferrari" isn't the right reason.

"because it's a Ferarri" is a perfectly reasonable answer. Ferarri is not just a name, it's a heritage. Ferarri was born in racing, the first year they built cars (1947) was they first year they won a race. Ferarri is all about power, speed, handling, and extreme luxury. They have incredible sounding exhausts, amazing interiors, handbuilt engines, telepathic transmissions and beautiful sheetmetal. so yea, "because it's a Ferarri" is a good reason.
IMHO, I'd rather have a Murcielago LP6401996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo
4.0L I-6 2WD
293k miles, still running strong.
Freshly rebuilt transmission.

I am not insinuating that JohnD1079 necessarily falls into that group, but that is how his statement of "because its a Ferrari" sort of came across. When asked why, which was an honest open ended question, he didn't mention the incredible sounding exhausts, amazing interiors, handbuilt engines, telepathic transmissions and beautiful sheetmetal.
Also, I don't know if you have ever had time to experience an NSX in person, but it actually offers all of those things as well.
The main criticism of it has always been the "Accord interior" but that actually stems more from its usefullness and ergonomic simplicity than the actual design. It is certainly equivalent to Ferrari interiors of the day. Only recently has Ferrari really upped the game on interiors with the bare metal, hand stitched suede, leather, alacantara, carbon fiber etc. The F360 really started the trend to the current Ferrari, but even it stradled the line a bit. The F430, the 599 and the 612 are really the cars that brought Ferrari interiors into the realm of amazing.Last edited by owequitit; 07-15-2008, 12:49 AM.

Id say the NSX is just as much nostalgic as the Supra early to mid-90s sports cars that still look good even if they reach the ripe old age of 15.
It's a throwback for our generation if you really think about it, our fathers or grandfathers had the cars from their days and we have ours.
I have a picture of this car that I took this past December:
Turns out the owner of this NSX works with my gf at her work. From what I've heard it's pretty fast and yes he daily drives it and it even sees the harsh New England weather. My gf kinda understands my fascination and desire for one of these beauts.
Easy to maintain probably gets a better MPG than a Ferrari and still looks good even if it's a 91.
A car like this I would sure as hell daily drive, I mean with an aluminum body? Hell yeah I would drive it during the winter too, since they don't rust. Plus throwing out the rear end would seem like fun to me
