Doug's Take

The original Acura NSX is one of the most iconic Japanese sports cars ever made, thanks to its fantastic handling, gorgeous styling, and a high-revving, mid-mounted V6. This particular NSX is finished in handsome Berlina Black, and it's equipped with the desirable 5-speed manual transmission. It also boasts some nice upgrades like later model 16-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels and Bilstein dampers. This looks like a fantastic NSX, and I'm sure the next owner will have a blast with it.
