New NSX delayed - again (no sniggering!)

[havoc]

Indeed...had mine for >6 years now...think Ary has me confused with someone else...

[AR]

No confusion, there are more NSX for sale now than there were in the past!

[AR]

I clearly remember when both your cars were for sale before you bought them.

Ary - you really are on a downer on NSX values and 'the market', aren't you? Does it bother you that much that you cashed-out before they shot-up, or are you just aggrieved that the whole classic/supercar market doesn't reflect useable value and is being taken over by investors (I sympathise with the second point - you know my car - I bought to drive, not to 'invest').

The UK imo will be lucky to get even a magazine review on the car next year and as for delivery, well 2018 is looking more and more likely at every show it attends.

The new NSX will really have to deliver something unique in terms of dynamic capability ... Although initial feedback suggests the NA3 will be leaning towards everyday drivability like our versions did before many started 'tweaking'. More fo used versions are likely to follow soon, so maybe Honda are learning some Marketting skills and will follow the Audi model releasing something new every 18 months or so ....

The Classic market is all over the place .. £62k for an Escort confirms this IMO ... but unless you are in the market, be that buying or selling, then as a casual observer it can make for interesting forum posts.

Referring to the market confidence point, and the volumes for sale, in most months if you dismiss the Plans adverts for car no longer for sale or yet available, the number of 'real' enthusiast cars coming to market hasn't significantly changed. Don't get me wrong, a few cars have clearly been pulled out of garages due to apparent market values, and as always, only buyer and sellers know the real price.

And to Ary, thanx. You helped me many times and I know you have without hesitation offered support and guidance to many over the years. Your comments do suggest you are a little more surprised than many as to how the value in the market has changed for the NA1/2 models. There are a few tucked away that need TLC so remain affordable. I'd suggest that the apparent stability in the market also makes the now higher valued examples still affordable on the basis that one keeps them stock(ish) and maintained. Maybe you'll find one and be back in the family one day?

Forums are fun, open to interpretation and opinion. Whatever individuals think on this on or topics is fine so long as written with respect for others.

And for those watching the 'other' new Honda today, lets all hope they take the maccer of its diet, give the power unit room to breath and the can finally release the 160 odd ponies that have been shy all season. 30kph missing for the end of the main straights is an impossible ask on Jenson & Alonso ....

Ha Ha, I was using NA3 to save writing 'still waiting to see on UK roads 2016/17/18 new model NSX Hybrid SHAWD' ... but as your post raises the question of model designation, does anyone know what it is to be or have an objection to the use of NA3?

[havoc]

I'm sure I've seen NC1.

[Silver Surfer]

Or is it FI-EV1 SHAWD.....for the late one

It is NC1; I read it on an Acura windshield VIN somewhere on the internet.



I use to use 'NA3' as shorthand for the version of our cars they should have made in the early oughties; some Legend switchgear/console, probably the C35 from the HSC and a few other subtle upgrades.
