So, who's planning on buying the new NSX?

You should post more. I completely agree with you.

i just dont like the idea of having 2 electric motors to power the wheels.........urgh!
I have had a paid deposit on one for over a year now, and will keep my current NSX no matter what the new car is like. My 1994 to me is the best of the NSX at it inception and purity. I usually am not one to buy new, but I have always wished that I was in a position to buy a new NSX during the early years, so now is my chance to get as close as possible to that experience by buying the new one. However, if the price gets too out of control I will have to bow out.
Mitch,
I, too, plan on acquiring a new one. For me, owning one new has been a goal for me; however, if the prices get way out-of-line (ie. tens of thousands over MSRP), I will wait a bit before nabbing a new one.
Right now the car is looking quite good and it seems to be evolving in the right direction. I hope the hybrid drivetrain doesn't turn an otherwise attractive car into an overpriced dud.

I put a deposit down about 9 months ago and think that I am 4th in line at my local dealer. I figure that the forgone interest on a refundable deposit is worthwhile if one is seriously considering purchasing one in the first year. I am hoping that a test drive in the new NSX will provide a comparable slam-dunk reaction to what I experienced about 21 years ago when I purchased my original 91. I have certainly never regretted purchasing that one in the introductory year.

Do you know the names of the Texas dealerships that accept deposits? Thanks.
My deposit is at David McDavid in North Austin. I think I'm around number 5 on their list. Sterling Acura says they have 12 or so on their list.
I wonder what the "snap ring" for the next gen NSX will be?

We saw what happened with the early GTR transmissions, it can be a gamble with the first batch of models some times, that's why I never married any ones first daughter, and never with out test driving first:biggrin:
I've had my deposit down for about a year now and I believe I'm first in line at the same dealer.
I too have had no regrets buying my 91 new. I don't believe Honda will release the new car until it meets their standards.
No point in a high profile launch of the new NSX and then a high profile recall.

Jim, I am #4 at Leith Acura (host dealer for NSXPO 2013). According to Leith's General Manager, #1 called the day after the Superbowl commercial last year! Haven't decided about keeping my '99. Will be hard to part with it. But it's previous owner says he wants it back (purchased 7 years ago).
Nope.... hence why I've upgraded/invested in performance mods.
Kill stories of me taking out the new NSX coming soon.

i live in longwood, fl (a suburb of orlando) and courtesy acura (888.436.2354) is 10 miles from my home. i spoke to the general manager a few months ago and they're taking $500 refundable deposits for the new nsx.
his only stipulation is you can't sell your spot in line for a profit. if you decide not to pursue the purchase, you get a refund and the next person below you moves up.
n.j. is quite a haul but if your funds are no good there, this could be an alternative.
hope this helps.

I'm waiting to decide on it. I think I'll be waiting for the car to be out for a few years before I bite. A convertible would be nice. If I jumped in year one, and a Type-R followed, I'd be pissed. I'm hopeful the special editions will be available over here as it's being built in Ohio.
I know I'll miss out on the events and special things that the first original owners will have available (like luggage, track events etc) but I'll chance it.

Another aspect that some readers forget is a few of us are getting on now.
I'm 65 now, so waiting for the car to be out for a few years is not as attractive an option as it may be for younger potential owners.
In my case getting one early before I need a walker or diapers is the only way.

Jim,
You have a Ducati and you're worried about the new car's user friendliness???
If so, perhaps there'll be a water repellant seat option!:tongue:

Well, it appears the price is likely jumping again to around $170,000. If that is accurate, that is well above what I can justify for the car. Dang it....well, I hope that either the price comes back down, or the rest of you guys allow us to live vicariously through you. When I got that call I was gutted.
$170,000 is insane.
Alas the Ducati and the BMW will be sold within the next year.
Getting too old for the bikes and need to save money for the apparently rapidly increasing NSX price.
$170K??? You have to be kidding me. I'll buy the new Lotus Esprit for the targeted $120K (if I had the cash)
That would be a deal breaker for me as well. However, since the car is still a ways into the future, here's hoping that they can keep to the original goal of around $120-130k.
