918 was unobtainium. How did you forget the Honda/Acura NSX II that no one wanted because of badge and because it was designed by a woman?
What credible evidence suggests that this car was rejected because a woman designed it? Most people simply don't take issues like that into consideration when they select a new vehicle. They buy on issues like value, image, performance, affordability (although the NSX is clearly not an inexpensive car) and whether or not the vehicle actually suits their needs.

You'd be surprised. A lot of people royally shat on her. It was disgusting.

I think she did an excellent job with the design and it looked pretty dang cool. The Type-S in particular was stunning.

So what? Who really cares? How many buyers knew who the designer was?

I find that incredibly sexist.
Exactly. I just don't understand why they care. The car is just so well designed. Men at BMW better learn from her.

I remember people shitting on the NSX's design.. but this the first I'm seeing it being shat on because it's designed by a woman oddly enough first I'm hearing of it lmao.

Funnily enough, the NSX lost a lot of it's debut appeal as well due to Ford surprising EVERYONE with the unexpected debut of the GT. The NSX was hugely overshadowed as the GT made major headlines.
