Thanks

Acura appears to be doing a half hearted customization program.

Only 4 interior color choices, that is a joke.

Maybe after the initial sales bolus (1 to 2 years In) they will add a proper bespoke program.

The recent info from Acura also renders most of what I have heard from the local dealers to be all wrong. The guy who said he will get their first car in February seems like he was dreaming. If the rights to 001 gets auctioned in January and they build that car in early February, I guess they could build some demos and spec cars prior to starting the customer ordered cars at the end of February/early March.

Went for 1.2 million to Rick Hendrick, even though he is assoicated with Nascar he is also big into Honda/Acura, he owns several dealerships. Money from the sale was donated to charity. He is getting the first production car. Seinfeld and Jay Leno will have to settle for the 2nd or 3rd one.

Are the 0-60 times of 2.7 seconds and 6.4 seconds to 100mph really real? That is spectacular.

I believe those numbers are C and D estimates

A few more months and more truths regarding the unicorn will be known

There's got to be some awfully dedicated fans out there to pay prices like this.

You get the trunk mat too for that price

Gotta be one of the oddest prices I have seen.

Most of the upcharges do seem within reason.

The configurator appears to start with the car having carbon ceramics. I had heard that Acura wanted to build all the cars with these for the first 6 months.

The build I did came to $173,300.

White with the saddle interior, regular wheels, alcantara headliner, tech package, premium sound without XM

10k for a spare set of wheels that's just a little insane

To be fair, $1200 is for carpeted mats and trunk mat. But my question is, what do you get if you don't select that option? Uncarpeted mats? No mats at all?

Some stuff is fairly priced

Nav, upgraded hifi and front/rear parking sensors for $2800.

Some stuff not

Rear CF spoiler $3000.

Lesson is, they know they can stab and grab from the CF junkies.
