I am not sure when they will ask for the larger deposit - probably towards the end of 2015?
Try another dealership if you're really interested in a NSX. Richmond Acura is the highest volume Acura dealership in all of Canada, you'll have much better chances at a lower volume dealership.

Get TLX's by the way. both Tech's? (noticed no fog lights)

Yeah, both are Techs.

Thanks for the advice on the dealerships. I'll ask around.

The cars look great side-by-side! For those of you who think the black is nicer, check out the white in person, pictures don't do it justice. Not dissing the black - the TLX looks great in every color!

Hey now !!!! Beauty is in the eye of the beholder and to be correct, you should have said "in my opinion, the white looks much better"

Honestly, all of these cars are gorgeous and luckily it's not the early 1900's and we have the option to choose different colors to our own liking.

Total disclosure, I've had a few white cars and they were beautiful. Got off on a tangent, but I hope we all love the colors we choose for our cars.

Agreed - something about how the lines of the car don't really express themselves in photos - but in person the white looks "bitchin" if I may say so.

The next thing we need to decide is which colour is faster.

White with A OEM lip kit, tinted windows will look sharp. Black always looks good but for some reason I would prefer white more.

Curious how much was the lip kit?

Around $2,000 for the whole kit (chin spoiler, side skirts, rear spoiler).

Interestingly enough - the white should be faster. The colour pigments in the black will add a little weight (White on the other hand is white due to the complete lack of colour - so it's much lighter) which will slow you down a tad. Plus - the black will add just a bit more drag as the wind will "catch" the pigments on it ever so slightly - versus the white which is 100% drag free

I'm curious, doesn't it get boring having 2 of the same car at once? In succession I can understand (did that with my 3G), or having both with different powertrains makes perfect sense (like your R8's).

I personally like the feeling of jumping from one completely different car into another, and being able to appreciate the pros/cons of each. But to get out of one, then hop in another (even in a different color), feels a little...I dunno, redundant?

Not hatin', just trying to understand the psychology of it

Answer is simple. It's a great car.

It's an excellent combination of quality, comfort, reliability, safety, and AWD performance. And it's miles better than my former 4G.

Right...so I guess the real answer is that 2 people in your household may want to drive them at the same time, hence the need for 2 of em. Not because you want to get out of one and jump into the other to experience the same car in a different color

Nah, wifey has her own cars and kids aren't old enough to drive yet.

I got a second TLX just in case the first one runs low on fuel. Or in case I can't find the keyfob. (Someone is bound to quote this as their signature. )

I really should quote this. One of the best lines around here

Are you related to the 20 year old kid with the 458, FF, Aventador, GT3 RS, P1, Veyron that he just got?

I'm so relieved to see Acurazine members still have a sense of humour. There's been way too much gloom and doom around these parts lately.

^^ I hear ya...if you haven't noticed, I tend to do the same thing. I like to keep the mood on the light side as I feel there is already enough too much stress and anger in this world. I come here to relax, chill, exchange with great car enthusiasts and eventough people don't always agree with each other, we can still have fun and disagree respectfully
