    Maybe before you decide, go and see both models at MattFest! Plenty of models in both & colour choices, plus Targa & coupes. As you say you've prefer the pop ups, which most people like. Then theres advantages of lower outlay, cheaper VED, less depreciation in the long run and cheaper insurance for cars from 10 yrs old too. Good luck in your NSX hunting.

    My understanding is that the 4mph difference comes when the pop-up lights are popped-up!

    That would seem to make sense.

    The top speed went from a claimed 168 to a claimed 175 due to a reduction in Cd from 0.32 to 0.3. I assume the 168 was with the headlights down
