They've been doing this for a long time.

It's no suprise to anybody when BMW builds a car like that. Why is it so startling when the other motorcycle/car company does it?

I'm certain that the upcoming NSX will have some "shortcoming" and the automotive press will still pick the M3 over the NSX, GT-R, and anything else Mazda or Mitsubishi might come up with. All because it has that stupid blue "propeller". They're BMW-philes and more easily forgive Bimmer's shortcomings than they do Honda, GM, etc...

Be suprised if the other car/motorcycle company builds an outstanding supercar. Suzuki already builds some of the quickest and fastest mass produced road vehicles on the planet. They just all have two wheels. The good news is that GM will get to share some of 'Zook's technology if they do.
I don't recall reading too many posts where people were overly surprised with the NSX, particularly with the power of the engine. The only shocked responce came from the Muscle Master
