Anyone with Imola Orange in SoCal?

[offroadr35]

i'm thinking of buying an Imola Orange NSX but i have not seen one in person. If there's anyone in SoCal that has one that i could take a look at in the next day or so i'd really appreciate it.

Thanks,
Steve

From what I understand, that color is tough to find.

I saw one in Del Mar about 2 months ago.
It looked better than I thought it would.
I waved and he waved back even though I was on my bicycle!

Orange is STUNNING in person. Absolutely beautiful. I'd pick that color over any other color right now. Just my opinion...

Kinan, the one you probably saw was Michael Moore. He bought the one from Hoehn Acura. From what I understand, that car was originally for Mr. Hoehn himself.

PbH.. you're right...but...
...only in sunlight. In sunlight it's <B>awe-inspiring</B>...
On a dull overcast day, it has the same attracting-powers as a brown car.
just my opinion too.

There is an imola orange '03 NSX where I live. I see him drving the car very often. I always see him take his car to my local car wash. Maybe I'll try to talk to the owner someday when I take my van to the car wash. No way I'll be taking my NSX!

Maybe it's just me, but, I can't bring myself to drive an Orange car.

My sister is also the fashion police and she'd throw me in the dogg pound and I'll never hear the end of it.

But get that car if it floats your boat (who cares what I think anyway) and join the NSX family!

Can you invite him to a meet so we can all check it out. He needs to realize how rare he is in Southern California. I too would like to see one up close.

Imola Orange is a stunning color!!!

Get one if you can find it as Imola Orange is the only great color in the NSX lineup! All the other colors are more ordinary. I got more comments on my Imola Orange NSX than any other car I've had! It is truly stunning in the SUN! Here is a shot of my ex shot in overcast conditions and is by no means brown!

I hate to burst your sister's bubble, but True Fashion is generally wearing(or driving) something that is ahead of it's time and can be somewhat controversial because the masses haven't had time to adjust their eyes to it. The general population doesn't usually respond well to something different. It is only after the trend-setters take the risk that they change their tune and accept it.

I'm not in any way implying that I'm a trend setter as I no longer even own my Imola, but it was by far the most unique and beautiful NSX made and not just another ordinary black, red or silver sports car(not that there is anything wrong with those colors)!

It's all about Imola... Sure I got the 03 in Blue, but I readily admit that Imola is *the* "on the edge" color. It looked awesome at the car show and awesome in person (spotted one on 287 in NJ a while back)

Don't know about how the car looks on dim, overcast, days, but the remedy for that is to only drive it when it's sunny! Not to hard in So CA!

This color is really beautiful. When I acquired mine there was an '03 Imola Orange/Orange next to the '02 LB Blue. What a cool picture that would have been. Unfortunately, I didn't think to bring a camera with me to pick-up the car.

BTW - there is one in So. Cal. I saw on going in the opposite direction as me on the 405 near Long Beach.

Found one?

drove by lexus of mission viejo today http://www.lexusmissionviejo.com/ and saw one. I didn't stop so I'm only assuming it is for sales. It's not on their site so you might have a shot if you head down soon.

Good luck and let us know if you get it,
Dave
