So, let me get this straight. You are arguing (your) opinion that it is a superior vehicle compared to older vehicles because of new technological advances (you have made that clear, lets not deny that is your argument). You are telling me my opinion on the NSX is flawed because I have never driven one and am basing it on my past experiences with 90's sports cars. Mind you, although I have not corrected your assumptions, it is not entirely based on 90's sports cars, and I do not live in a world where I am clouded by anything new. I welcome greatness. I have experience with MANY different types of vehicles. At the end of the day, you are arguing something you have never experienced as well it seems. Correct me if I am wrong? I think it is safe to say you have not been behind the wheel of the new generation NSX as well..

In your last statement above, you clearly are saying your s2000 has a greater feel than your friends "FTYPES". Self explanitory... You are literally agreeing to my theory..

So, let me ask you this...What is YOUR opinion based on? Have you had a chance to drive the NSX to argue it is a better vehicle compared to the old nsx? I think your opinion and argument to my statements are invalid unless you have experienced the particular car in question. Until then, we are just arguing opinion on what we apparently think of the car based on press, social media, videos, specs, history, heritage, etc., Right?

I find that more often times that not, that experience only heightens what you perceived of the car. What you believe prior to your experience with the car. will generally be how you feel after.

At least we have a couple of things in common. You like Lexus, or own one and you have (or had) and s2000 before. I sold mine back in 2004, so I can agree to whatever you are saying about the s2000.

That was a friendly review. He got me correct too, not the guy who is going to buy a Huracan or an R8.

My order has moved up to the all configurations locked stage (whatever that means) and my dealer is trying to see if he can get some info on when the build date will be.

reviewer (typically db) ends with "there's not a lot to dislike about it" but i don't recall him stating anything he didn't like.

showed the car off pretty well though - incredibly flat handling on the track.

and if all that complexity can handle the endless beating on the track by reporters, well it must say something for the reliability.

I understand why he would say Huracan since that car is way more "raunchy" if you put it in Sport or Corsa mode HOWEVER if you drive the car in Strada mode the car is almost as tame as my wife's hybrid CT but with more kick The only thing the Huracan has over the new NSX is wow factor from the badge at that point since looks are always subjective.

Having owned a few R8's now I can say the car is an awesome daily driver mid engine car. I'm also excited to see/drive the new NSX so we'll wait to pass judgement.

When do you get your new NSX?

S2000toIS350

My dealer said my car will be the 160th built and estimates June.

There are too many unknowns (actual date cars will roll off the line, daily build rate, weekly build rate, potential production line and/or supplier issues) to have any confidence though.

Must be exciting!

My local dealer used their first allocation to build a white one with red leather interior, full options so they told me the sticker would be around $200k. They are giving me the option to buy it when it arrives so we'll see how that turns out. Supposedly the car will arrive mid July.

S2000toIS350

Are they looking to tack on a market adjustment?

I am looking forward to the car but Acura has done a really sheety job at bringing the car forward in terms of timing, transparency and processes

In reality the company excels at building great stuff when given the chance (NSX gen 1, S2000 and this car) but is bad at critical decision making (allowing ZDX to see the light of day)

Wait, so they're letting dealers take first allocations rather than actual customers? MSRP markup time!

S2000toIS350

Markups without dealer taking first allocations.

I went into a big local dealer and the owner's son said you can have our first allocation for $50K over sticker.

A few of the Chicagoland dealers were taking bids over sticker to auction the allocations.

I went out of state and found a friendly family dealership who was at MSRP and gave me their third allocation.

Guy number 2 dropped out for financial reasons and I become guy number 2.

Guy number 1 decided to wait for financial reasons and I became guy number 1 and then order the car.

Now it s a hurry up and wait thing.

There is some blah blah out there that the factory is already running but trying to get much info out of Acura is a losing proposition.

Thankfully, it appears that it will be a good car for old sloths like me and they are putting a lot of effort into producing something well in the US.

If you are in a city like Chicago with a lot of high income/net worth folks and an at least mild to moderate car culture, unfortunately many of the dealers will act badly.

Thankfully with a little internet searching and iPhone use, a relationship with a nice, honest dealer can be created.
