2011 Acura NSX Buying Advice

This new Acura will be rare and hard to get, so forget about paying list price, let alone getting a discount. (The ASCC concept shown here.)

This car is at least a year away and probably two, whereas the rival Nissan GT-R started sale in summer of 2008 and the Lexus "LF-A" is due as a 2009 model. Should you wait for the NSX? That's hard to say right now, though current intelligence suggests it would be a fine alternative if you miss out on those two. One thing for sure: This new Acura will be just as rare and hard to get, so forget about paying list price, let alone getting a discount.

2011 Acura NSX Release Date: As noted, this car isn't on the schedule yet, though several reports quote company insiders as saying it would be either a 2010 or 2011 model. As this program is still in its early days, we'd guess a 2011 model-year launch, so sales could begin by spring of 2010.

First Test Drive: Assuming that the above timing proves out, media previews would be held in either late 2009 or early in 2010.

2011 Acura NSX Prices: Various estimates put the price of admission at $100,000-$130,000, which seems logical to us.
