White is the best color one NSX right now.

As a green color car guy I'm somehow intrigued by that slate green they have but from seeing it in person its not much of a green. Its a beautiful rich color but at the same time too much subdued for a car like NSX. It needs some vibrant goldish green or electric mantis green.

Here is a shot of the interior

Great dealership experience. They are sending someone from the dealership (2 hours + from my office) to come pick me up.

The salesman and the general sales manager washed and detailed the car.

Acura will not allow the wash boys to touch these cars for fear of car meets pole syndrome.

Now for some review after the 150 mile ride home

Having the salesman pick me up and drive me 2 hours + to their store is above and beyond service.

Seeing the car in the metal at the dealership was fantastic. The contours are best seen in person.

Build quality is there. Plus the feel of the doors and rear hatch closing is solid, solid, solid.

Nav stuff is way better than the reviews.

I spent about 1.5 hours doing paperwork, getting orientation, being photographed.

I took the wheel/tire and other stuff protection. For $1500 it isn't a horrible deal relative to needing a couple of wheels and tires replaces in the next 5 years.

No extended warrantee is available at this time.

About 10 folks watched me drive off. I gave it a good throttle shot and experienced the engine sound, capped with the blow off valve sound.

At first I thought the nose was kind of high but once on the road it really does disappear.

I did not go crazy on the highway as there was a lot of traffic/construction/rain.

I had a few chances to get on it to pass. The point folks about sometimes power not being immediate was for me connected to the car being in 9th gear and then needing to sort out how to speed up. After a moment of thought the car gets faster in a hurry.

The interior is super comfy, particularly the seats. I was surprised that the contrasting stitching was not carried over to the dash (oh well).

Had some folks smiling at staring at it. One guy in an Insight was taking pictures as we rolled down the highway.

The sound when I get on the throttle is a mix of gurgle and throaty

sound at highway cruising is not intrusive

the start sequence includes some brief motor musicality

May be worth getting a nice coating for the paint while it's still fresh and relatively swirl-free.
