Are the NC-1 sales slow or the market fickle?🤔

I think the market must be very fickle after watching this newly launched video as it always seems such fantastic good value for your money.

i think what is killing the car is public perception ... again and again we see more commercial stuff talking about how 'slower' the x is to other marques
i/we all think the car is overpriced ... i appreciate the R&D etc that Honda did but marque is an issue here especially in todays world
people still dont realise that this is a 918 at a fraction of the price ... honda/acura need to market better and make this more focal in their marketing etc

Price and brand, poor or little Marketting other than a few magazine reports, and no finance packages through the supercar brokers, all areas Acura should focus on. Is the situation the same in the UK?
a quick tinternet surf reveals an R8 for £122k, the 570GT for £146 and the 458 for £167k, not to mention the 911 Turbo at £127k, and the NSX price, well, you can't get this from Honda UK as the website says PoA; seriously?
Personally, I'd love one, in grey with lots of carbon of course

911 Turbo has never really done it for me, but the other 3 are all BIG draws. Similar power, similar/better looks, lower weight, but sacrificing the torque-vectoring and the fashionable hybrid-ness (do buyers in this market really care about fuel economy?).Originally Posted by Senninha
As you and Andrew say Paul, I really do think Honda are making all the same mistakes again, as most of the driving reviews are very positive.

Blue '08 FD2 CTR - big, ITR-sized shoes to fill...
Yellow '96 NSX 3.0 - oh was it worth the wait!
Black '99 ITR - well, I had to have another one, the first was so much fun. Miss this one even more than #1...
Blue '03 S2000 - SOLD, flawed but fun
Blue '04 Focus TDCi Sport - SOLD, very good fun for a diesel!
Black '00 ITR - SOLD, still missed
Red '98 Civic VTi - SOLD, probably still bombproof
Not sure the real world NSX economy differs from the rest of the class. I think the new NSX is a very commendable first attempt at a "new generation" supercar. The reviews of the 12C were by no means all positive, but McLaren constantly improved and now the current range (540 etc) is class leading. Honda will hopefully do likewise.
An interesting video opinion about the NSX US sales at the moment.

What a knob. He's right, the new NSXs aren't the same as his car. They haven't been hit hard and pieced back together.
Whilst I'm opinion-free on the NC1 and it's price/value, The King has hit the nail right on the head. What a whiny knob-jockey that bloke is!
