Rep Power: 5  |  NSX, an exotic or rice
Do you think the Acura NSX is an exotic or rice? And Please don't call it the Honda NSX. That drives me ****ing mad. Sure Honda owns Acura. But we don't call the Murcielago the Audi Murcielago, or the XKR the Ford XKR (that doesn't sound right).

Actually, the NSX is badged as a Honda throughout the world, but yeah, it's weird. I think of it as an semi-exotic. Definitely not rice though.

nsx isnt rice. rice is anything tacky added to a car to make it LOOK like it does something it cant do. i.e. big wings, gay tail lights, vynil.... etc. nsx is an amazing car, honda should make more cars like this one.

to get a straight answer you must first define rice. djfux's definition is the one i hold to and in that case the nsx is not rice.
acura is to honda as lamborghini is to audi? i understand the analogy but there is a slight detail that makes calling the nsx a honda legitimate. acura does not exist in japan, while lamborghini and audi are recognized separately everywhere. that said, i love the honda integra and the honda nsx(for which the new model is also known as the hsc, the acronym for HONDA sports concept) :P

I would say that Acura is to Honda what Audi is to Volkswagen. Honda doesn't have anything like a Lamborghini.
