The system is different now
They build what is ordered
No limits on any color (except Nord Gray which was retired)

Ok, so how many are going to order orange?
Considering they've only been building 3-5 a month, I'd say one maybe at best. Most who wanted an Orange have already bought the car

i have a feeling a lot of stores are going to order orange to have in the showroom. I know of 3 already (1 sold).
I was told production would be increased a bit over what they produced in 2018. I'm trying to order an orange for our showroom/exposure car.
I'm curious to see whether dealers are going to try a markup for the new hot color or if they learned their lesson the first time around.
15 NSXes sold in the USA in August, per http://www.goodcarbadcar.net/2013/07/acura-nsx-sales-figures-usa-canada/
Here are historical sales figures for Gen 1 & 2 Nsx. Except for the first few years, annual sales were not much above what is projected for 2018 in the later years...... And note the steady drop off in sales over time. Regardless of sales, it is still considered an amazing car, right??

The increase was motivated by the $20K incentive from Honda corporate starting in late July.
Considering that, the 15 units last month is rather low.
The car is destined to be very low production. It is a different take on what a supercar can be, and it does not appeal to the mainstream supercar buyer. It's complicated......
Acura is essentially repricing the car with the rebate, but it forces buyers to wait...... and actually hurts sales. So, the 2019 is basically at $137,900 MSRP after the $20k rebate. I'd guess that the reason for the rebate is so that they can list the car as sold for full MSRP in monthly and annual sales reports, and then bury the discount in some other accounting column. Even if they went back to the $30K rebate, there is still always going to be a limited market for such a "different" car. Low production over time is OK with me. I guess I'm an oddball, but I'm sure enjoying my oddball NSX.

not that it matters, but the other cars have multiple variants available. 2 of them have a convertible option.

The update
The 2019 hardware changes can be added to older cars but there is no expectation that the software stuff will be made available
No factory tune to increase power is expected
The 2019 changes has led to a bolus of orders but not any where near the competitors
The improved performance seen in the 2019 car is mostly from the tire changeNot surprised the orange caliper do not match the orange exterior paint as painting methods are different (powder coat for the calipers) and once you heat the calipers up, the color will change
A cam pain is coming in a couple of weeks so everyone will be paying a visit to their dealer's service center
At least one of the NSX Specialists will be at NSXPO

Thanks for the update. Not sure it’s good news, but news nonetheless.
Whats the campaign for? Anything we need to be concerned about?
they will manually reduce it in one of the service bays while you wait....if it's anything like testicular torsion....look out....
Factory supported tune for a power increase is simply a pipe dream of mine but it is something I am actively pushing for.
I’ll see the ‘cam pain’ as good news - will give me a chance to drive the 2019 RDX loaner for a couple days

Sorry, for some intel the Specialist asks that I don't share details until after the cat is out of the bag.
What I will say is the car is complicated (no surprise to anyone) and the issue comes from one of these complicated set ups.
