So, no changes to the infotainment? There had been rumors of a new screen, but I didn't see any mention of it in the announcement.

Seems like you're just a fan of the NSX in general, so it might be worth it for you. But I think that the dealers are really going to struggle to sell these with that kind of premium. The R8 now starts at $143K. The Lotus Emira (which seems to be closer to what a lot of people wanted the new...

I think that the rarity of the NA2 will always make it somewhat desirable, but I wouldn't expect to appreciate like, say, a Ford GT.

People often raise this point, yet, at the same time that the NSX came out, Ford released the GT which cost $500K! And Ford seemingly has had no problem selling them (granted, they will only sell something like 1,000 in total).

Eh, I don't know if I would quite go that far, especially with the C8 Corvette now being available. Even compared to the R8 (which now has a MSRP of $143K), the NSX doesn't really seem like "enormous value".

Do you even have to go aftermarket? How much less do the fancy forged wheels that Acura sells weigh?

There's a McLaren dealer in Detroit, too, which would be a bit closer. https://www.exoticmotorcarsofmichigan.com/new-inventory-mclaren.htm But, yes, I would still prefer to go to the Acura dealer that's three miles away--assuming they actually know what to do with an NC1 (not many do...

I think that there's something to be said for the new Vantage. You can get it with a manual transmission, for one thing. And it has FAR more storage space than the NSX, which probably makes it a better grand tourer. I've also seen Aston Martin advertising $1,800 a month, $0 down lease deals...

The V10 R8s are pretty reliable, aren't they? The only somewhat common, somewhat expensive issue I'm aware of is leaking magnetorhealogical shocks, but that can be avoided just by getting an R8 without that option.

The CF engine cover really should be a stand alone option. I don't want expensive carbon bits on the outside of the car where they can get easily damaged, but I'd be willing to pay for a nice looking engine cover safely behind glass. I really wish they would offer the roof in body color, too...

I was playing around with the NSX configurator today, and it looks like you can no longer get a carbon fiber roof. Anyone know why they stopped offering it? https://nsx.acura.com/build/roof

I watched the video and I still have complaints. :biggrin: I agree that the NSX sounds better than some people seem to think. I think it sounds better than a C8 Corvette, for example (at least the NSX can rev!). But the R8 just crushes the NSX in the sound department.

Well, I think the main appeal of the R8 is that naturally aspirated V10. Whether it has 602 hp or "only" 532 hp I don't think matters to most people. And, unlike Porsches, even the base R8 is pretty well equipped.

That's not true, though. The new Audi R8 RWD starts at $142K now. https://media.audiusa.com/en-us/releases/442

Which seems crazy when you can get a new one for $140K (the $20K incentive is still in place, correct?).

I'm not sure if they will drop the front motors or not, but Audi releasing a RWD R8 that starts at $142,700 has got to put pressure on Acura to either reduce the price on the current NSX or release a cheaper model to compete. Adding some decent electric-only range (even just 20 or 30 miles)...

There's at least one thread here about going from a 2017 to a 2019 NSX. You may find it interesting: http://www.nsxprime.com/forum/showthread.php/212880-Just-went-from-2017-NSX-to-2019-NSX Also, are you aware of the trunk smell issue? It's something you may want check for on any car you're...

Is it really in the low $200K range? A poster over at Ferrrari Chat who supposedly ordered one claimed it was costing him close to $300K. https://www.ferrarichat.com/forum/threads/maserati-mc20.624706/page-9

To give Honda some credit, at least they are offering something unique at its price point. If you want a somewhat affordable sports car that's relatively light weight, has a manual transmission, and a high-revving naturally aspirated engine, you can go buy a Porsche Cayman GTS 4.0. If you want...

The article says it's replacing the sports series, so I'd expect it to start at $200K. With the way that McLaren options work, you're probably looking at at least $220K for a decently specced one. The semi-usable electric range that the McLaren will supposedly have is appealing, but not for...

Not really. The Cayman still comes with a manual, and there are plenty of people who would pick it over the Corvette on that basis alone.

Probably not for a couple of years, sadly. This will be a present to myself once I complete graduate school. I started looking to keep myself motivated! :smile:

Fair point, but I think I would take the mechanical upgrades that occurred in 2019 plus the new paint colors (love the yellow!) over any options that the 2017 might have.

I dunno, aren't there still, like, $30K in incentives on new NSXs? I'd have a hard time paying $118K for a used 2017 when I could get a new 2020 for $130K.
