Same strategy for selling a house, price a little below market price, get multiple offers and start a bidding war.

Acura flubbed its NSX pricing (but not the Civic R). You can get $20k-$40k off new right now. The NSX would've been a great car at $130k, not $170k.
NSX woulda been a home run if it came the way it sits now in 2008/9 when it was discussed as a coming soon vehicle lol. It would have been in all the 1-4 performance spots 6-10 years ago, and probably been lauded over and had a place in history. Now its a 200k 500 something whp car with a 200k sticker lol

The only way the GTS coulda been worse than the NSX is if they waited 9 more years offered the same power, charged 20k+ markups and tried to advertise it as a car of today lol
