Yes, I hate to see the ADMS. I read this article yesterday:

Thanks Mr. Kim
Looks like Reliable took good care of your vehicle during it's journey from the PMC to Zimbrick
They did indeed. 1 mile on odo after PDI and all of the interior wraps saved for me. Not sure what I'll do with them but it was nice for Corey to save them as instructed.

Wait. They shipped the car from the PMC directly to your house? It didn't have to be delivered to the dealer first?
I wonder if they will have the same option on the 2022s.

Never mind. I just realized Zimbrick is the name of the Acura dealership. I thought it was the name of the city where you live.
This is all very interesting in terms of what the actual level of demand really is... I reached out to 3 dealers soon after the press release. One said that they had a car/allocation but they had already configured it. They had no choice because if they hadn't done it by that first Friday, they would have lost a slot. They offered that car to me. So clearly that was a car that was "ordered" without a real customer. But they told me I couldn't change the configuration. I'm not sure how many of these exist. I'm also not sure why Acura pressured dealers to place that initial order on that first Friday -- of course some of this would happen. Or maybe they didn't and this guy was lying? I have no idea. I placed a separate order with another dealer who let me configure my car, and told me that I was #2 from their shop and likely to get a car. Let's see what happens...
I ran to my dealer the day after the press release and supposedly got their second allocation. They called me that night and said "Acura needs your configuration tonight!". Taken aback, I asked about having the night to decide what color and options I wanted. They said "Sorry, we have to submit it tonight". There wasn't time to even run down to the dealer to sign anything. They had me respond to a text and that was supposedly their confirmation of a "digital signature". I then received an email with an excel document that showed my options, name, phone, charges, and whether I had selected Gotham Grey. I was shocked Acura would push so hard to have them in right then.
If the dealership is telling you they want X over MSRP then that is now public knowledge and if they don't want that information out in the world tough cookies. If information is true, no amount of pleading or threats will make me take down a post. There are some very good lawyers in the community that I'm sure would have a field day with a dealership trying to force us to take down true factual information.

^ +1 seems like they ordered the Gotham to try to flip it as a text surely isn’t the legal definition of a digital signature.
Did you even give them the 10k deposit ?
Sad to see the dealerships doing what dealers do even though Honda tried to stop it.
My local rep told me they were supposedly reviewing the accounting and checks to confirm not straw purchases, but how can you even stop that if you wanted.

I did give them the $10k deposit that morning. I have the receipt from the transaction. The excel spreadsheet that says "2022 NSX Type S" on the top has my specs. I wanted Red and picked black as the alternate. The bottom of that doc has a header that says "NSX TEAM" and the fields are (Time/Date Received, $10,000 deposit confirmed, Gotham Gray Selected _NO_, Production Month _Not Set_)
New here and in the pool waiting to hear more if I get an allocation. Im getting more irritated with the idea of a markup. Sad to have this as my first post here (I was excited to see the type s reveal on a good note). What other markups are people seeing out there? Part of me doesnt feel too bad because I know dealers are missing out on new inventory sales with the chip shortage...
salesman told me that Acura would start calling people this week, Regional Sales Manager who processed my order 8/13 about 10:30 AM told me that I could expect notification of estimated build date in September, 2022’s would begin production in December.
Maybe I just should suck it up. Im not looking at an oppressive $100k more. The MSRP was alot lower than I predicted.
So this waitlist begins 9/1? Anyone that didnt get an initial dealer allocation hear anything?
Same thing happened to me. But I was ready to order ASAP

This guy says he was called today by Acura concierge confirming they have his request for an NSX. He went to a dealer that didn't have a guaranteed allocation. According to one of his videos he put in a deposit for a regular NSX around March 2020 and was never able to get a car but had them apply his deposit towards the NSX instead.

Unless Gotham Gray was selected…then it was a mad dash.

I agree about the matte paint being a fad. I don't mind it, but wouldn't rush to get a car sporting it.
I had my order in the night of the release (and ideally submitted the following morning). I never got a call although I let all non-local incoming calls go to voicemail. I did directly contact the customer support for the NSX and chatted with the guy there. This whole process is really annoying.
