Thankfully she was ok with the exception of a few minor injuries. Picked her up a replacement this week. 2017 Acura RDX. It suits her perfectly.

Glad she was OK with the hit on her side. My MIL purchased an RDX last year and she enjoys it. How did you like the Altima? We might be moving soon which will make my daily commutes much longer and I've consider buying a mid size as opposed to stacking the miles on my truck. How was the ride, road noise, and fuel economy on the Altima?

Altima was great. It was a 2009 model and we planned on her driving it many more years but things happen. We bought it new and it treated us well. My only complaint is the CVT transmission. The original failed at 50k miles, but it was replaced under warranty. I don't know if they worked out the issues with the cvt yet, but other than that great car. Ride was good, road noise was great, and fuel economy was good. It was the 2.5 4 cylinder so it got 30+ mpg.

Glad she is ok. Looks like she has a nice new car.

As far as the NSX, it is nice looking, but if I'm going to burn $200K on a car, it damn sure ain't gonna be an Acura! o_O

Why not? $200k for a Honda is a steal. Haha no really though I don't know anything about the car other than it looked awesome.

I somewhat agree but the NSX is a badass car on the track.

Well the beauty of the internet, and the fun thing about these boards is that I get a chance to see things and learn things that I normally wouldn't come across. I just spent 13 minutes learning about the NSX. It is pretty badass. 573 HP would be awful fun. But I still think I agree with what the guy said at the end of the video, basically he said Acura wants this to be an everyday supercar, but who wants to drive a supercar everyday? I would buy an Acura sedan for sitting in traffic every day, and an old stick shift Ferrari to drive on sunny weekends.
