How many sales do you guys think that Acura gonna made from the sales of the new NSX? How much the production units should be made?
I am guessing 1000 cars per year for the first 2-4 years (though from the intel in the playbook, year 1 could be light as they are gonna be very careful to make sure every car is "right" when it leaves the factory)
Remember, all cars are but to order so production will align with customer orders (some of which will be dealers)
That's a tough one
I can see 10 years.
They are likely to do a lot better job at supporting this one.
Open top (targa and/or vert)
Lightweight R
Power/performance upgrades (I predict after year 3 of production)
Big increases in the customization. Take a look at the Bentley website, you can get lost in the exterior colors alone.
We should be able to at least select the roof color and get some crazy interior color choices (gray exterior with orange interior would be awesome)
The refresh should also add electronics to add all the lane assist, etc stuff
Special edition(s)(like the Zanardi, maybe a Graham Rahal this time))
Maybe do a crazy all CF exterior for the Middle East
Sorry Boys, but after getting a ride with A chassis Engineering around a Track on the weekend, and with a Launch Control session in the New NSX...Acura have a Winner on their hands.
They will be sold out for more that two years, once people get to see the Technology and capabilities of this car dirst hand.

As the car is produced in the US and the demand in the US is very high and maybe not so high in the rest of the world do they shift the allocation to the US? Do people in Europe get a chance to even sit in one?
We have only one dealer here in Switzerland who will be able to sell it (McLaren has three official dealers) and the car is expected to be around SFR 200'000 which is exactly $200'000 right now. It looks in the US like it's sold out for some time, so I guess we end up down the very far end of the queue or have to pay even more premiums some US guys are pushed to. Does a showroom queen make sense if the second pricest Honda model costs not more than 30%?I don't know about Europe, but I've been told here in Australia, a very few select dealers [5?] will have a showroom queen to help promote sales. But Australians being brand whores, I'm not expecting them to move many, especially at the approx. $400,000 asking price.

I hope it does have the same effect on people here too as Honda really needs it here but people here are 'luxury brand whores'.IMHO most definitely yes! The glow from the image and pizazz the NSX will generate will reflect onto even the lowliest Honda Jazz! To this day I get people come up to me, admiring the NSX, and comment it made them want to buy a Honda something.
The chosen dealer is in Geneva?? I visited your beautiful country last year, and my wife has fallen in love with Lucerne. Almost preferred it to Paris! We stayed at the Hotel des Balances
