Surprised to see this has not been talked about yet. I'm wondering what people's reactions to your new NSX has been.
I have only put 200 miles on my car, which is to say, have barely driven it. I've only driven it 3-4 times due to holidays, work, travel, etc. Here are some notable reactions to my car:
1) on drive home from dealership with my new NSX, stopped by 2nd Acura dealer to see if they would budge on their 130R NSX (which was higher priced MSRP but less desirable options imho). Many of the sales people and employees came out to see my NSX and see it start & leave the lot. Pretty cool reaction from folks who see the new NSX often in their showroom.
2) still on drive home, stopped at tire shop with someone who got his 98 Monte Carlo tires inflated there. ALL of the tire shop employees dropped what they were doing, came out to gawk and take photos of the car.
3) While stopping at the bank to run an errand today, fellow bank customers drove over to the remote part of the parking lot I was parked to gawk at the car and ask me questions about. A notable experience was an older gentleman in a regular SUV with a handicap parking tag, coming over to look at the car and ask what it was and more details about it. Some of the bank employees also went to the parking lot to take photos of the car.
4) While getting gas today, a car rolled up next to me and said "it looks like a Corvette from the rear, but it's not a Corvette. How big is the engine?" Also got a bunch of stares from other people at the gas station.
5) Got my tires inflated at the tire shop today, most of the employees came out to gawk at the car. Many of them had jaw-dropping reactions, couldn't believe what they were seeing. Got completely unsolicited reactions & comments like "this is so beautiful, far better looking than the R8!", "I prefer this car over a Lamborghini or Ferrari".
6) Went shopping at the grocery store, parked in far lot, and some people came by with their shopping carts and said "this looks like an invitation to a ticket!", "is that an Acura? It's gorgeous!!" etc... all completely unsolicited. I never got these types of reactions in my 91 NSX which is pretty bad ass.
I've had more jaw breaking reactions from the few times I've driven this car over the entire nearly 15 years I've had my 91 NSX. This car turns heads and even people who see exotic cars all the time can't help but admire this car in person. It's so much better looking in person with the subtle angles which can't be appreciated as well in a 2D photograph or video.
