Does Anyone Own An Alfa Romeo Diesel On Here?

@Cletus Van Damme The NSX is coming at some point but I can't see it being cheap and agree with you about the current Type R. No Accords available now (at least in UK). Used to be manufacturers had something interesting and most likely a loss leader in their range. Honda aren't doing it now. The S660 looks interesting. Pity the '660' is its engine size.
I'd echo your thoughts on the S2000 too, which is probably good news for anyone owning a nice example.

That's the problem isn't it, the NSX will probably be awesome, but cost a fortune. That's where Honda got it right with the Integra DC2 and probably the ultimate success the EP3 Civic Type R (2001 - 2006 I think), affordable cars with Mondeo (petrol model) running costs, reasonable to buy, and top-notch reliability, fast and good handling, and practical.

I'd love to own an original NSX,. People keep posting links to old Ford Escorts for sale on FB for stupid money. I just think I could get an NSX for that, no comparison, way, way cooler. Everybody to their own, I know what I'd rather have, after driving old Fords when younger. So much cooler in the looks department, and performance, well that's a no-brainer. I don't see many old Ford's on the road, but I see less NSX's, so it's even more exclusive. To have money and space to store one. I just prefer older Jap cars to old Ford's always will.

I'll be surprised if the old NSX prices don't go up on the back of the new one, and old Ford prices . How about a BMW 850 as a NSX alternative? Similar idea and still available for less than a shonky Escort. As for old Jap cars.

My lottery garage would still have a Alfa Montreal in it though.

I don't like many BMW's, but the 850 is cool
