The NSX TYPE R (the "super" NSX) is #55 on the list of Top Gear Lap Times!! FIFTY FIVE!!! That's 25 spots below a base Corvette...

You wanna talk about great performance cars in its price range, look at the Corvette Z06, Lambo Gallardo, Ferrari 360 CS, Lotus Exige S, Noble M12, Noble M15, TVR Sagaris, TVR Tuscan, BMW Z4, Porsche Cayman, and OMG Ariel Atom ($60k as configured, and #5 on the list, only falling behind four million-dollar supercars!)

Because the article is 16 years old that's my point...the NSX was first to beat the class of supercars not so much by the numbers per se but in terms of drivability (you can use it everyday and not worry about it) and it has impressive styling. That to me is the same as the VX. Therefore they should both get together, one representing the best all round Japanese sports car the other the best Japanese SUV. Both first in their respective motoring classes.
