I have had an image in my head about the combination of the NSX and SVX into one car, an NSV-X

Aluminum mid-engined chassis with SLA suspension
Longitudinal mid-mounted EG33 with dual AVCS (kinda like VTEC...)
Black roof over bodycolor, with a longer glasshouse, making the rear overhang less visually obvious than NSX. Flush glass canopy look like SVX.
Butterfly doors (like McLaren F1/SLR) with window-in-a-window as an SVX cue.
flush-mount headlights like 02-05 NSX, but pre-02 NSX-style horizontal marker lights... with an SVX-like slit in the bumper (above the main low intake) between them.
NSX interior with SVX-like alcantara trim.
Both cars have nice horizontal tail lights... either one is cool, especially if it were LED-equipped. I like the NSX's full width CHMSL, although it isn't very high-mounted.

Even with all sorts of money to throw at custom fabrication, I am not sure that those two early 90's era cars could be melded that way unless they were combined on the drawing-board, and then built from that... but it is a nice dream.
