    New Corvette hurt NC sales?

    If they were both $150k, I would buy neither. Personally I was expecting to be supremely disappointed with a horrible MSRP on the Corvette. When the CEO said "under $60,000" I was shook. If they were both $70k, at this point, I would probably opt for the NSX, just to be different. There will...

    New Corvette hurt NC sales?

    I think he made a typo there. But they are going to make a ton of cars, and there will be discounts, especially on the 2021 model year. Still, not $50k. I don't believe the "almost sold out" claims. Perhaps first-batch allocations are mostly spoken for, but they are definitely nowhere near...

    New Corvette hurt NC sales?

    If the car had arrived as a 2013 model year as it should have, then the performance would have been more impressive, the whole hybrid concept would have been more well-received, it would have sold far better for more years, and by now it would be winding down its lifespan, due for an update...

    New Corvette hurt NC sales?

    Yeah bruh what's the deal with the Japanese and their beloved fake vents. Civic R, NSX and now the new Supra, tons of blank black patterned plastic. I'd rather that there just be plain bodywork, the fake vents detract from and totally cheapen the look.

    New Corvette hurt NC sales?

    I am #1 at my dealer right now. It seems like very few dealers are charging a markup, other than in southern california of course. Even small dealers are getting a few cars in the first batch. Can't wait. Going to be a long five, six, seven months....

    Where are all the Production deliveries ??

    Seriously disheartening. The whole windshield dabacle is just nuts. It's been happening on other models too, 12C, 650S. And now a ton of them on the 720, 570 and 600. Not just a car delivered with a bad windshield, but cars going through several bad windshields one after the other. Not just...

    Type R Specs?

    I think a writer for dupont was just trying to fill some space.

    $20K Acura discount through March 2020

    They'll just keep the same incentives running on and off. This is typical industry practice. Besides a handful of lease turn-ins, residual values are not the manufacturer's problem. Yeah with the advertised specs and the advertised price and an acura badge, it was pretty plain as day that it...

    What you say makes perfect sense, but is unfortunately a departure from reality. :frown-new:

    Where are all the Production deliveries ??

    Fantastic. Surely the average age buyer is somewhere in his 50s. Really it's not so much the level of income, but the level of disposable wealth. There are definitely plenty of owners who are budgeting a monthly payment into their annual finances, but the true market for six figure...

    QFT That's the thing, we'd all love a Type R, but I think 90% of us would be unwilling to pay anything close to the huge price Honda will ask.

    $20K Acura discount through March 2020

    I don't believe that is true re: targa design, at least not structurally. However you could be right, there were an awful lot of design years. Acura will definitely have some sort of mid-cycle update, and could easily get away with calling a Type S, <insert here> Edition, or some other...

    Removal of Carbon Rear Spoiler?

    Keep in mind (though I'm sure you already have) you save $3k if you find one without to begin with. ;)

    Gen 2 NSX and 911 Turbo S Video

    Good video, thanks for sharing. Yeah the 911 interior is rather boring. It also is quite cheap feeling unless you tick the boxes to make it nicer. However, it doesn't feel like an MDX interior, though you could argue you're getting that macan or cayman feel in a 911 too.

    Wish list. What you would like to see in the Gen 2 NSX down the road

    Yeah exactly I thought this wasn't a civic. Vf2ss hit each of the nails on their respective heads. I could prob live with the little blanked out extended grilles, even though they're cheesy up close. But that front hexagon pattern thing on the front bumper is just horrid. Looks like shit...
