You're a little overzealoous. Relative to Japanese automotive history, the two vehicles are the tip of the pyramid, but relative to worldwide automotive history, neither is really memorable, least of all the NSX. At least the VX innovates in several ways (TOD, AWD + 4WD, 50% cladding, remote-reservoir shocks). It has some potential long-term, but there have to be followers for it to be an innovator. If it's the first and last of its kind, it's just an anomaly - like amphicars or 6x6s.

The NSX is an anemic V6 mid-engine wannabe "super" car... doesn't hold a candle to other mid-engined cars (Ferrari, Lamborghini, or even Lotus, to name a few). It excels at nothing, but is satisfactory at everything, making it a typical Honda execution of a concept (in this case, a sports car). While its mild manners and excellent balance make it a good track car for people of all skill levels, its lack of power and abundance of luxuries make it fall behind. And its not even very attractive - having mild features all around (also typical of Honda).
