I might agree with that somewhat if back in 1991 NSXs retailed for $80,000 however they did not. They retailed for $30-$35k. Inflation has driven their prices up. Not the fact that they are handbuilt or the fact that consumers are paying for research. Honda did not invent VTEC nor did they invent the DOHC design. They used existing technology when they made the NSX. NSXs are simply overpriced however I doubt most will believe that being that this board is primarily Honda enthusiasts.
