I’ve never put anything in the trunk myself, but I’ve seen it done, so I know it’s possible. You are right about the aftermarket being small. There are only a hand full of companies who make anything for the car, and they tend towards performance parts, not OE replacements. Most stereo solutions end up being custom…

Plenty of people put amps in the trunk. Most NSX’s came from the factory with a CD changer in the trunk, so it’s not like it’s impossible to route wires in through the same grommets.

I do too, but they have a reputation for being one of the most high maintenance cars Honda has ever built. As a Honda fan, it’s nice to see more than one on the list, but the Legend is a bit of a WTF. Especially considering the only ones you can find for under $4K are likely to be in need of major TLC.

In modern terms, a new Civic is around $22500. I guess that would make the new RX-3 around $32500. Maybe not quite so good a deal now.

The Panamera does have a nice interior. I imagine it’s one of the best places to be, because then you don’t have to look at it’s exterior. It’s a win/win.

The internet has made it harder for people to get screwed over, but that doesn’t necessarily mean the dealerships won’t try. We were car shopping over the weekend and the dealer brought up a car they had in stock that I hadn’t researched. Thanks to some quick smartphone use, I found that the asking price for the car…

I think you are mostly right, but most cars are not actually brake-by-wire yet. That means the brake pedal is connected to the master cylinder, which wouldn’t work well if it was on the other side of the car. Also note that it’s usually mounted above the steering column, and the A/C components are often mounted on the…

Yes, so the engine should be perfectly reliable. You only have to worry about the rest of the car...

Or, alternatively, why your dashcam should not be a potato.

Pretty much everything you said, except the uselessly small back seat, also applies here, except add Honda reliability:

It actually looks a lot more modern than the Diablo, without it’s enormous rear end (the one thing that has soured me on the design of both the Diablo and Murcielago). Almost like a Pagani Zonda, with enormous scoops attached to the back. Wonder if Horacio Pagani had anything to do with the design.

It’s like the bastard lovechild from a 3-way between a Stealth, Intrepid, and a Ford Probe.

A modern base model BMW is just as big of a snooze-fest as most of the cars on this list. Drive wheels alone do not an interesting car make.

And the Honda NS-X concept, which also underwent a bit of a reengineering due to a powertrain change, before becoming the production NSX in 1990. They had to increase the wheelbase by 1.2" when they switched from the prototype’s SOHC non-VTEC engine(from the Legend) to the new DOHC VTEC V6. http://www.roadandtrack.com/…

Panamera or Cayenne would probably be more fitting...

Sure why not. A brief history of potential NSX replacements:

Only one of those is an EV. The other, no matter how much GM likes to pretend otherwise, is a hybrid. In which case, I’d buy a Prius over a Volt.

If the car was stolen from a consignment lot, then it sounds like the original owner was trying to get rid of it anyway. He just didn’t get rid of it in quite the way he originally planned, but insurance paid out so he still got paid.

Unless it’s already rusted out underneath, as is common around these parts, and highly likely on a car that old. I bought a 1991 Integra LS for use as a winter beater with 170k miles with a totally pristine interior in 2004. It almost seemed too good to use as a winter beater, until I looked underneath. A couple of…

I like the dash-mounted volume control. I guess that was a predecessor to steering wheel radio controls.
