![]() Today's car of the day is Hot Wheels' 1991 Acura NSX ![]()
![]() For more information and pictures on the real car, please visit: Honda NSX ![]() ![]() CM's Rally Car week is over, now back to our regularly scheduled Car of the Day. Here we have a much talked about model from Hot Wheels. Many were greatly anticipating a stock NSX only to be disappointed by the oversized rear wheels and large spoiler. While I too would have preferred a completely stock model, I still quite like this one and think it is a worthy model to own. ![]() ![]()

I'm not enough of a purist to be upset by the wheels or the relatively sedate spoiler, but I do appreciate the fact it isn't covered with tampos. |

The wheels really take away from the overall look of the model - great though to see it not buried under a mound of tampos. |

Not my favorite wheel choice for a dollar car, but better than it might have been. I'm comfortable with HW's long standing tradition of "big'n'littles," not a deal breaker for me. My doctor had a 1:1, and we always had time to talk about it, one of the few rice rockets of the era I do actually like. I seem to recall the real cars did have a spoiler, although like this model it was tasteful and appropriate...and I seem to recall actually being functional. |

All in all I thought this model is very nice for a dollar car. While I'm not a fan the the wheels either, it's something I can live with for this price point. I have both the red and the white, and will get other colors when they come out. |

New casting? Quick! Take it apart!

I grabbed a few of these. I'm looking for a wheel change so the back doesn't look so big. Thicker spokes may help. A smaller wheel, if positioned carefully, may also be acceptable. Haven't tried it yet.

Really need to find this model; the wheel size different is something I can look over. C'mon, it's an NSX!

The oversize wheel openings don't really take too much away from the car. Even with the outsize wheelwells and the grossly oversize tires, itis still a pretty mice model for a buck. Face it, it could have been a lot worse - just look at their attempt at a Corvair Greenbrier to get an idea of what I'm talking about! Edited by corvairjim, Sep 23 2015, 12:02 AM.
