Thanks to all
I really wish they offered a saddle with blue option but this is Acura so you get half azzed customization.
I was surprised that they did the base roof in black as you essentially get a bi-colour paint job for no up charge (the folks at Ferrari must be laughing as I believe they get like $16K for bi-colour).

So will prices on old NSX's go up or down with this new model???
#1 Theory, People who own the old NSX will trade them in for the new one. The market will be flooded with 90's NSX, thus dropping the appreciating price these cars have seen over the past 5 years or so.
#2 Theory, People who own the old NSX will hate the new NSX. Plus they really can't afford to drop $180k on a new car. Thus they'll hold onto them and never sell, thus driving up the price of used NSX. And then people who want a new NSX but can't afford it will buy a mint 1992 NSX for $50k and will be snapping them up left and right, thus driving up demand and price.
I see a price bubble forming around the 1st gen NSX, ie its a hot car now, but will it be in 3-5 years from now??? Same thing with the Supra. When we start seeing 25 year old imports from Japan for half the price, what is that going to do to the market for these now valuable 90's Japanese supercars??? I don't see the prices being paid now as sustainable, especially considering what cars this age sell for in Japan.

For now I think the scene is closer to #2.
The new car is targeted for a different demographic and the old NSX owners are angry.
We will have to see if the new NSX lives up to it's goal of being an everyday super car to see if it becomes successful enough to sell well for 10+ years.
The yen 1 owners may be rewarded later with a decontented version (non hybrid) to voters their asks.

My wife doesn't care too much about this one.. I told her about the hybrid part, showed her a picture a while ago and she thought the looked like it was trying to be a Corvette.
Another odd pricing thing is that the solid color all leather seats are priced $1k higher than the two tone leather and Alcantara ones. I believe other manufacturers charge more for two tone with Alcantara.

When acura will come out with a targa top 4 years later like the 95s, they'll paint it body-colored

GS,
It will be fun to predict/follow the life cycle management for this generation NSX.
The Honda folks whiffed on gen 1 by not including a targa and then the rework to add the targa left the car with less rigidity
Ted Clueless has mentioned the intent to be able to not leave the car alone (I.e. Dial up the power).
At the most recent NSXPO Acura surveyed folks to see what else they should offer (targa, vert, non hybrid lower cost).

Hard to say about the non hybrid as it feels like there would be a lot of development work to strip out systems and to reoptimize the car
I think we have to see if the car takes hold with the target market, older richer folks who really want an exotic and don't want the associated headaches. There are plenty of these folks in the US and this is basically an unmined vein.
I also would have to believe a lot of F car owners tired of their car being in the service garage instead of thei garage will be in play as well as P car owners looking for a change.

i myself have been debating about the new nsx too. since i have a gen1, it gives me a lot of thoughts about getting the 2nd one as well. but at 180k there are indeed a lot of other cars i can (and should) consider.
and i still don't know how the car drive, i don't want it to drive like gtr
#1 doesn't make sense. for those who has the money to pay for the new one (200k after tax), having a gen1 nsx doesn't really matter to them and i don't see why they would trade it in. might as well keep it so they have both.
#2 i think is more likely. gen1 nsx availability is already very low, and supply seems to be getting even lower these days. most owners are holding on tight to their copies.
i myself if i get the new nsx, i can only see myself keeping my gen1 still
wonderful!!! part of me still feel sad that you couldn'd get the lfa!!!!
yeah i noticed too on the leather, kind of odd. i thought it has to do with alcantara being cheaper, but then 2 tone leather i didn't get it
actually there are a group of nsx owners who feel quite "violated" about the new generation, thinking the car doesn't "represent" the nsx name and theirs were purer. i kind of expect that though given the posts i read before. it's an interesting car, there are some insane die hard fans
and i still don't know how the car drive, i don't want it to drive like gtr

old nsx owners are angry? LOL. why, because acura came out with a thoroughly modern re-interpretation of the nsx that will blow the doors off the original in every way? one that costs more than twice as much but it's 25+ years later so no surprise?
the original nsx was AWESOME. it's still awesome, as a fun, reliable, all aluminum, mid-engine, easy to drive, great handling, low sports car.
