I thought it might be Autonation based on what you mentioned prior and where you are.
I'll try to track you down and say "hi" next time I'm in!

Ah, right on. You can mention whatever you're comfortable with. I'm pretty sure you can't try to sell cars here, but simply mentioning where you work is no big deal.

Hmm. Don't know why that would have gotten deleted. Maybe it just came off as odd timing.
Do you guys have a new NSX there?
I think basic rule of thumb is "don't try to sell anything without being a vendor" and you should be fine. There are a handful of folks that work at dealerships and I don't see why you posting pictures of cars on the lot (especially the NSX) would be any different than Joe Member going to see it an posting pictures. Plus, I think it's nice to have some members that can give some insides scoop or behind the scenes info.

Well we did have an allocation open but we already made our decisions on it since nobody on our list stepped up to order in time. We will have an unclaimed NSX coming in sometime in the next 2 months. I will be sure to post up when it is coming in so anyone who wants to see it in person can come out and take a look. I know it is going to be the Nouvelle Blue Pearl $6,000 paint job, with the Orchid interior and the Tech package. And I believe we added the carbon spoiler and the red brake calipers. It's going to look amazing on our showroom lol

My local Acura got a new NSX, sold before it hit the showroom.

This is probably one of the saddest things I've ever seen:
It's like staring at a eunuch.

I recently got to sit in #131, optioned out, bright silver exterior, black interior, bright red calipers and gun metal colored wheels, and my thoughts were as follows:
I always thought the interior looked good in photos, but I was rather unimpressed when I sat in it. I'm sure a dual color interior would've looked much better than the all black one I sat in, but yeah... Even when I put the car into accessory mode so that the dash would light up, I was a bit underwhelmed. Though, if I had to pay 156k US, it wouldn't bother me as much as paying 206k CAN here. Spending over 200 large seems nuts, as a starting price.
Also, the carbon accessories are meh at best. You barely notice them (at least in the bright showroom), because it all has that dry carbon matte look. Before seeing the car, I always thought "if I buy one (pipe dream) I'd get all the carbon goodies!!", but, since seeing it, the only glossy carbon fiber part I'd splurge on was the roof, as it had the glossy UV resistant gel coating on it and it did add some noticeable bling to the car. The engine compartment was no different- if you don't stare right at it, you don't even notice it being carbon fiber. It's a shame, really.

What's worse is the Carbon bits don't subtract weight. In fact they actually make it heavier. Acura did a fantastic job keeping weight down without them. The asian lady was Lin but she is no longer at our dealership. Bud is still here though, rockin his s2k. I somewhat agree on the interior, however remember that Acura built these to be lived with daily, so they are going to feel more like daily drivers than a true supercar... that is until you drive one haha.
Hi Acura friends. Quick question. Do the poster's here living in Houston bring their car to the dealership for issues / check ups or DIY or a local mechanic. If so, can you please recommend? Nothing too serious, just a couple small things needed.
Thank you.
Thank you.

DIY all day errryday
Yes, sorry about that. My car makes strange nosie when turning the wheel. Based on the search here, it says to change O-ring.
Also was hoping to get help with general tune up / maintenance. Hoping there is no serious issues.

Sup. New here. Recently bought a 2017 RDX Tech 2 weeks ago. Link to my introduction New here. First time Acura owner.
In Midtown but you might see me stuck in traffic on Southwest Frwy, West Loop, or North Frwy. Or I could be parked up at a restaurant, enjoying that diverse H-Town cuisine scene.

I also am more fond of the RDXs. I had one as a loaner like... 6 years ago.. and it had a turbo and was wooooosh fast.
Although someone in my neighborhood recently purchased a new white MDX and it has black Acura wheels... gotta admit it looks pretty good.
