Body Double???

Walked by an NSX tonight when going out to eat with my wife and noticed a lot of similarities in the treatment of the rear as compared to the SVX:





So much of the SVX's styling is a home-run and timeless like other exotics...

-Chike

P.S. I must have stared at that NSX for over ten minutes in the parking lot, and later when we returned home (took wife's car), I stared at my car in the driveway for another 20!

Consider that in 1992, you could buy 2 SVX's for the price of a NSX.

Today, you can buy around 5 - 8 1992 SVX's (around 100K miles) for the price of one 1992 NSX with similar mileage. That's only IF you find one with that many miles. The normal NSX was driven far fewer miles than the SVX'i were, almost half on the ones I have seen for sale.

Which would I rather have? The NSX. However, without a back seat to carry my two little ones on occasion, that ain't gonna happen.

I am a pessimistic optimistic. I think the worst is going to happen, that way when it does, i don't feel as bad, but if the best happens, i am twice as happy.

I must say that the SVX looks pretty darn sexy! Now to say it looks sportier than an NSX...is another story!

However, both cars seem to carry their *dated* styling very well, and still turn heads today!

I heard that NSX analogy before, but it wasn't until I stood next to one in a parking lot for over 10 minutes that I finally saw how close they are in styling.

Not bad company for the SVX to be in...
