gauges look great! a lot of cool functions. I like the full illumination for a warning, but these things will probably be expensive!!! they have a remote for crying out loud!

Sounds like Autometer is trying to break into the higher end of the gauge market. I'd be interested to see the pricing, but I'd also be interested to see REAL pics of the gauges and hardware. Hopefully they've figured out how to build weathertight quality harnesses and senders, instead of the hardware store crap they currently use.
But, I'm glad they're moving in a new direction.

Asked my buddy Google about the new gauges 
. One of the guys on Honda-Tech e-mailed Autometer about them, and got this response:
Dear Sir,
The Nexus gauge series is currently scheduled for a January release. As
we get closer to then, the release date will become more firm. Please
feel free to check back with me via email for updates.
As for pricing, the individual gauges with senders will sell for
approximately $199-249.00 each. The Sensor Module and Remote is sold as
a kit for approximately $199. This is required for Nexus gauge
operation.
The initial lineup is for the following 7 gauges:
6455: Water Temp (100-260)
6459: Boost/Vac (30 In. Hg. / 30 PSI)
6445: EGT (0-2,000)
6453: Oil Pressure (0-100 PSI)
6456: Oil Temperature (140-300)
6474: Nitrous Pressure (0-1600)
6463: Fuel Pressure (100 PSI)
6400: Sensor Module + Remote Control
We have tentative plans to offer additional instruments, but these will
be finalized and announced in the coming months. The first of which
will likely be a tachometer to be available in the early Spring of 2005.
Sincerely,
Marc Erickson
The pricing is VERY much in Defi's territory. With Autometer's track record, I'd be surprised if they could compare with the quality of Defi's product right out of the box.
Of course, this is retail pricing, with street pricing lower.

Sure the cheap-*** Autometer mechanical gauges suck. If you pay $50 for a gauge, it's not going to be top of the line. I suspect that these are probably made for Autometer by another manufacturer, but even so, I wouldn't be surprised if the accuracy was on par with Defi.

They wouldn't still be in business if they didn't make decent gauges. Judging all of them by the performance of their budget line is pretty lame. Have you even owned an Autometer gauge?
Personally, I think they got a bad rep in the RX-7 community solely because their budget mechanical boost gauge was sometimes off by a pound or so... after people ran 6 or 7 feet of tiny vacuum line into the cabin.
