Visual comparison, just for fun.

Both cars are a bit of a let down from the previous generation. However, I'd choose the Supra which I have done. Honda should have just released the HSV10...

cool to see the different design styles - supra is more curvy while the NSX is sharp hard lines.

I find it interesting that both cars tend to get no love from a lot of people that loved the previous generation of each car. But a LOT of love from people that aren't really that into cars.

The Supra gets the BMW traitor comments. And the NSX gets the "betraying the lightness/simplicity of the original" comments.

I think both cars are pretty cool in their own way.

Supra is the way better deal / bang for your buck. The NSX is a way better car (as it should be, given the price difference).

BTW, the starting price on the NSX was $160k, not $180k, and Acura has been giving $20-$30k in cash rebates off sticker since 2018 or so (and dealers were taking another $5-$10k off on their end for the most part).

You could have a nicely optioned NSX for $140k. I'm not sure what else checks all the same boxes for that price. The C8 isn't even close in terms of rarity or exotic appeal. And if it were just about bang for your buck, it would be hard to argue against a tunable Supra with a downpipe.

I'm not sure I like the 400Z enough (or at all, actually) to add it to my JDM revival fantasy. And I'm sure as hell not buying a dinosaur GTR (I wish they would redesign it and put the motor where it belongs).

Wouldn't mind seeing and reborn 3000GT and a hybridized, twin turbo, rotary powered RX-9 either. Put the band back together, Japan!

92 NSX
I love my 21 GR Supra but my 92 NSX just draws so much attention when we take both out. After seeing this yellow NA3 NSX, Im really tempted to upgrade

There is no VS here. The Supra doesn't hold a candle to the NSX. The NSX is criminally underrated, and the ONLY reason it didn't sell well is because of the Honda badge. Had Ferrari or McLaren made it, it would've sold like hotcakes for over $200k.

Per the bolded Iā€™m going to disagree as a car enthusiast. Iā€™ve owed 5xRX-7ā€™s (three gens including FD), 300z, Speed3, multiple WRX/STI gens, Focus RS, GT350, C7 Z51, Camaro SS1LE, FT86, Golf R, etc, etc.

I love my 2021 Supra. Honestly its right up there at the top of the list for me behind the FD RX-7 so far. And Iā€™m a big manual guy too.

Most people who hate on the MK5 Supra simply have not driven for an extended period of time. Its a really solid car. Comfortable when it want to be. And a beast when you want it to be. For the price? I donā€™t think thereā€™s anything for sale right now for mid to low $50K that can touch it. Iā€™m on the wait list for the C8 Z06 and now Iā€™m wondering if it might make more sense to keep the Supra and sell the Z06 if I can make a nice profit and buy something like an Elise to compliment the Supra.

I think the latest gen of the NSX is an under appreciated car. I love the looks of the original but it didnā€™t excite me when I got to finally drive one on a curvy road.
