What\u2019s more, we\u2019re hard at work producing a video episode, as well, so that you can check out the NSX on YouTube.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-3163\" src=\"#BLOGPATH#\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-08-at-11.11.07-AM-1024x679.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2017-03-08 at 11.11.07 AM\" width=\"1024\" height=\"679\" srcset=\"http:\/\/blog.leithcars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-08-at-11.11.07-AM-1024x679.png 1024w, http:\/\/blog.leithcars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-08-at-11.11.07-AM-300x199.png 300w, http:\/\/blog.leithcars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-08-at-11.11.07-AM-768x509.png 768w, http:\/\/blog.leithcars.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/Screen-Shot-2017-03-08-at-11.11.07-AM.png 1244w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>A world-class supercar deserves a world-class setting, which is why we&#8217;re creating a brand-new showroom for Leith Acura after 30 years in our previous building. You can still visit Leith Acura for sales and service in its temporary facilities near the old location. We don\u2019t have an ETA for the new building, but it should be completed before the year\u2019s end.<\/p>\n<p>Listen to the podcast above and let us know on Facebook if there\u2019s anything you\u2019d like to see shown or incorporated into our upcoming YouTube episode. We can\u2019t promise to break any traffic laws, however, so you\u2019re best off sending those requests to Michael Bay.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, you can whet your appetite by checking out <a href=\"http:\/\/comediansincarsgettingcoffee.com\/\">Jerry Seinfeld\u2019s episode with the new NSX on his show<\/a>, Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee. Seinfeld is a huge NSX fan and actually received the very first of the NSX produced for free as a special thank you for creating and starring in their Super Bowl commercial for the vehicle a few years back.
