Just picked it up - the first time I have seen it in natural sunlight - it is even more amazing. The interior colors are the perfect complement.The 2 pics were taken by a friend using the Phocus (blurs the background) - I did not have pic of interior so I used website photo.
Hi all. We are very close to purchasing a LC Inspiration edition. As an owner of a ‘07 SC, we were highly disappointed with its fast depreciation. The inspiration edition is selling at MSRP (understandably so due to only 100 made). Any guesses as to how well this beautiful car will hold its value. I tried to do some comparisons with the Pebble Beach SC with no luck.
Your replies are are greatly appreciated. We are struggling between a Nouvelle Blue NSX at $50k more than the LC, but $30k off the MSRP of the NSX. THANK YOU.

The LC is a great GT - extremely comfortable. I am not sure about the characteristics of the NSX as a GT. The LC even though a limited series will depreciate but not as much and as much as a atandard model.

@Tabsaco, Tough choices The NSX and LC are in different classes. The NSX is a sports car (albeit less so than the 1st Gen NSX) and the LC an ultra comfy GT cruiser.
If you are worried about depreciation I personally would wait 2-3 years; by then 30-40% of the depreciation would likely have occurred on both. Neither models are high volume sellers, but I believe the LC will depreciate less than the NSX.
The NSX is NOT a popular selling car. For March 2018 Acura in the US sold 16 (yup, sixteen) of them; contrast that to March 2017 when Acura sold 37. For March 2018 Lexus sold 218 LCs.

Which car do you like to drive?
Thanks for your thoughts. I currently have an ‘07 SC and a ‘00 NSX. I have found a few of the structural blue around and really love the color. I have driven both cars and the LC is what my brain says to buy. But, the NSX will blow your mind. 0-60 in less than 3 secs makes it unbelievably fast. Instant torque!
