NSX

Having returned from breakfast at Blueberries with Liz a few hours ago, only to return home to an e-mail saying one of our dear friends and an amazing man died yesterday while bicycling - at 68 but extremely fit - your quote (a continuation of mine for those unaware) surely rings true.

Thank you U, this guy was beloved and admired by all and a real class act. A lawyer's lawyer. Not long after I got my F-Type, he and his wife - also a friend - saw me exiting the garage as they were walking to their car, and she excitedly said, "are you shitting me?"

IMHO, the NSX is car you have to test drive before you can form an opinion., my feeling is that it is a very lifeless experience. That is confirmed by almost all the test drive videos I watched. Fast - of course but without any sensation. A 911 turbo to me is very clinical except for the turbo push. For 98% of the time it is a very boring drive.

Unfortunately, the car is so rare and in such high demand, virtually no Acura dealer in the country has one in their showroom, let alone available for a test drive. My local dealer said that if you want to test drive it, you have to order one by putting down a $5K non-refundable deposit.
Bottom line - and I don't care if all the "reviews" were positive, or negative for that matter - the only opinion which matters is yours. After driving it.
Good luck!

Actually, I know quite a few dealers who do this on rare, high-demand vehicles. I know someone who actually had to put down a $1K non-refundable deposit when he ordered a Mustang GT350R. I think some dealers do this to discourage buyers who are not really serious about purchasing it or those who don't really have the means.

Back to the OP and the NSX!

In any event, here's an interesting piece:
Watch the 2017 Acura NSX being built | Autoweek
*I just checked and the first generation NSX sold more than 18,000 units, world-wide, in 15 years.

Acura plans to produce only 800 NSX's per year in the US. So by that definition, yes, it'll be a relatively rare car seen on the road.

If the vehicle is a brand building exercise done at a loss,
then it is unlikely that the production numbers will be
increased. More production means more loss when it
it is a loss leader.
Someone posted a picture of a BMW Z8 in another
thread. Limited production numbers, beautiful car.
None listed locally on a casual search.
BMW stuck to the original production quotas.
