Ah, press days at international motor shows. Gotta love them; automotive journalists, company guests and lots of other people elbowing its other for the first look on the latest models.
What they also do get are press kits and other assorted stuff related to those models. These are supposed to be a gift from the company, given that the only people getting them besides the guests are actual customers.
Well, there’s always someone willing to make a quick buck by selling the press kit of a high-visibility, recently unveiled car. No matter what you think of it, the brand-new Acura NSX is one of these cars.
So, just one day after its official premiere at the 2015 North American International Auto Show, two NSX press kits are already up for auction at eBay, one of which comes with an exclusive metal model of Acura’s supercar.
Here’s what one of the sellers said:
“Available as an exclusive to select members of the media, this is the press kit for the next generation Acura NSX. Extremely limited edition, and includes jump drive with press information and photos, along with a heavy, solid stainless steel model of the vehicle. I’ve been doing auto shows for over 10 years, and this is without a doubt the coolest promo giveaway I have ever seen. Pictures are of a friends item, the one you get will be sealed and never opened. (They were only allowing one per person, and ran out rather quickly!)”
