I hope the deposit is refundable because some one is going to be disappointed if they find out the price is more than they wanted to pay, or they don't like the colours available or the spec and numbers do not match their expectations.

It's in the nature of a deposit you won't get it back if you change your mind. Otherwise anyone can put down and withdraw a deposit and the car would have sold out a year ago. But if you Change your mind towards another Honda, maybe...
I don't recall any open books in Continental Europe or am I wrong on this?

I remember taking deposits the first time around ... and when it got close enough the choice was, err, one spec, manual or auto, red, silver or black (and you paid extra for the metallic!!).

That was it and we didnt lose a single deposit. You wouldnt get your deposit back on the 2015 model and dependant upon the contract you've signed, you may not be able to 'sell' your deposit either.

When I called to ask the local Honda dealer about the 2015 deposit, the only concrete bit of info the sales guy had for me was that the contract would not allow me to sell the new NSX within 6 months. Everything else was ... vague.

Never heard of a non refundable deposit. With the spec so open, there's no way they can refuse to refund it. That said, I paid mine by credit card and over the phone so I get protection from both of those factors if necessary. I don't anticipate needing it.


I've not signed anything either. I had to beg for a receipt for them to even acknowledge I'd put my name down.


It would be great if there were no options, that's one of the things I love about Japanese cars. Spec is very high as standard, and if not is usually only available in discrete levels rather than an annoying individual options list.

Some interesting information.
I called in Honda Chiswick today to check over a CRV diesel, after which I got chatting about the new NSX with the sales manager who claims the new car will definitely be here December next year and registered to the new customers (of which they have over 20) in Jan 2016.

He also made a phone call to Honda UK and confirmed the price will be set at £125,000 for the entry level model and there will be a hard core model later in 2016 which will sell for £150,000 but couldn't confirm it would be called a type R, which will target the Ferrari 458 for out and out performance and handling head on.

Apparently there won't be many dealers getting one as a demonstrator but they definitely would, so I know where I will be going come Jan/Feb 2016
