And the Honda NSX is an exotic car as well.

This debate can go on forever because everyone has their own opinion of what is exotic and what is not.

The word exotic is as ambiguous in today's vernacular as American or luxury.


Why define it as one when it can mean multiple things?

Anyone has wish to add more cars? Remember, it has go through my approval which may take couple of days.

Do you have a few in mind? Submit it.
Unless you only count cars that worth 1 million +, there are hundreds, if not thousands.

Looking at your list, you got F40, F50 and Enzo...........so you don't think the 288 GTO that many consider as the coolest Ferrari of all time, is an exoitc? What about the FXX?

Also do you have a requirement on model years? You got Vette ZR-1, so you mean the one in the 90s then, the new ZR1 without the hyphen is not an exotic?

This list would take years to make..................

I got an easy way, if you want a list of exotic cars that ever made by human, just look up Sultan of Brunei's list of car collection. He got 10 of everything.

He got 5000 cars, told you it is a lot. You don't think he got any Camry or Accord right?

You already told us your CT is a Prius rebadge, which is wrong. Now you are telling us all the $375,000, V-10, Carbon Fiber, Greatest car ever from Asia, universally praised by critics and experts that is is an exotic, one of the greatest ever made is on part with the GT-R, GT 500, Corvettes. You state this b/c Lexus lacks the badge and other claims that Papa Smurf laughs at.

Now you tell us the Honda NSX, rebadged as an Acura here, V-6, 60k in 1990 from a brand with a worse heritage and history of excellence is an exotic.

This is golden.

Kirk Lazurus....we need you right now

Dude, if Papa Smurf drove an exotic, it would be hands down an NSX. A blue one at that

Hmmm, a girl that calls guys dude.

FYI Papa Smurf doesn't exist like an NSX isn't an exotic.

Anyone that thinks the NSX is an exotic yet the LFA which costs 6 times as much, with 4 more cylinders, in carbon fiber with an interior that is arguably best in class that sounds like an F1 supercar that laps the RIng in 7:14 compared to 8:14+ really needs to take an elementary course in the automobile starting with the late 1880s.

THis is not a diss on the NSX< everyone knows I love it. To come on a Lexus forum and state these things about the LFA with LFA owners is preposterous.

Going to send this to Roy so he can get a good laugh next time around.

Guys take the personal comments and back-and-forth bickering to PM please and keep on topic.

I'll remind folks again about the forum ignore feature if you don't like another members point of view.
