Thanks for the good words folks. Can't wait to get some proper pics in good light. I was bummed that I couldn't get the Orchid interior with the pre-order, but the color more than makes up for it.
I definitely don't hate this view.
Phoenix area. My dealer (Acura of Tempe) had a white demo, my car, another TEP pre-order, a blue pre-order, and another pre-order in transit. They all came in via Las Vegas.
I looked into PPF when I got the FK8 because it's (unfortunately) black and AZ freeways are crumbling strips of rockchip hell, but after getting quotes I figured I could have the front re-sprayed twice for what they wanted to cover it with plastic. In the end, it just seemed like it was spending...
15% tint immediately. I don't bother with windshields because they are constantly broken in AZ. My FK8 with 13k currently has 3 separate breaks. It's pointless to even replace them until it's in your vision.
From what I've heard from the reviews, they don't sound as bad as the CTRs did, but...
Mine is supposed to be arriving today or tomorrow. I have an appt for Weds to pick it up (providing everything goes as planned).
I was honestly hoping it would take longer, haha.
I've watched about half of them and will hit more as time allows. Also looking forward to Everyday Driver as their stuff is always well done.
Media from SavageGeese is always top notch. TST is also always credible specifically with driving dynamics.
Nothing but respect to Leno, but that was...
Just got mine as well. If anything I hope it takes awhile......I have way too many cars right now and can only fit 8 inside. (I know, first world problem lol) I'm hoping to get one sent off to paint jail for a few months while I try to get a garage addition at least framed and roofed.
I've not asked anything specific. I have an FK8, so I don't expect many surprises with the way the car drives. I probably will inquire subjectively about the sound at some point since that was the one major disappointment with my CTR.....I changed the intake/exhaust 2 weeks after buying it and...
I'm sure there is a psychological motivation with some people based on that, but at the end of the day, when it's 115* it isn't making much of a difference. If you don't have good AC and tint, you're pretty much gonna die no matter what color your car is, haha.
The one credit I can give to...
For some inexplicable reason lol. Idk, maybe it's because I live in AZ where half the cars are white and most of the rest are some other form of grayscale, but I just don't get it.
That is accurate. I have a buddy who is there and he confirmed it. That date is also supposed to coincide with the initial cars arriving at dealers, which makes sense.
This post is specifically regarding the online pre-order I have (TEP). Once into that process, I'll inquire about their 'regular' allocations if it's not been updated.
Acura of Tempe (AZ): According to the GM, there will be no markups over msrp on the 4 pre-order reservations they received.
Honestly, it just hasn't been a huge priority, because as you said, it is what it is. The contact I had from them was all automated, including several emails regarding "your interest in a 2023 Acura MDX", along with a quote for the same? Apparently their systems aren't really set up for factory...
I managed to get in for a TEP. My wife and I both had multiple browsers refreshing over and over after the personal info errors would come up, and after about 25 minutes, I managed to get one to go through.
I currently have a '20 CTR that would probably be sold if this works out, but I'm not...
