I've said the same thing for years...lol Glad to see someone else saying the same thing.

Don't forget, it's also from a really reliable brand.

@OWEN FLORENCE He is a liar and a hater. Don't take him seriously.

looks like a teenage girl sports car

@@unklecorky2181 well, even teenage girl have more green paper than you.

Agreed, this or Mercedes, Audi or BMW?

@@brianlee4629 audi and bmw are trash, but this and AMG are decent

Ram trucks is using something similar now called etorque. They replaced the alternator with an electric motor with a belt to aid with take off and initial acceleration and it gives up to 3 more mpg which is great. Dodge will get etorque as well so it seems Honda /Acura are way ahead and you may see a Honda accord with these options soon and it'll probably be slightly cheaper to so fear not you will be able to purchase many cars like this soon.

2:10

You plastic dip it black. Duhhhhh And the A spec is for looks, this does a quarter mile in 13 and change, 0-60 4.9 for a luxury Honda. 377hp factory

You probably drive a volkswagon and are tired most the time you're holding up everyone in the fast lane. You and Kia

LOL! Genesis is Hyundai and Kia is Kia. They have a long way to go to make a car with the same quality as Acura does.

@@squidproquo2241 Well all 3 are actually the exact same brand and they've only been able to do what they are doing now thanks to Albert Bierman the head engineer of the BMW m division... So they're kinda part japanese knock off part German... Which won't stop Honda or Toyota. Honda and Toyota have been shitting on the Germans for decades. They make cars that real people can afford and buy.

@@V1ralB1ack Honda and Toyota make great cars that common people could buy and drive without being drained in the budget. As for the Korean cars being Japanese knock off, it does not take much to buy a car and try to reverse engineer it. And anyone can make a very reliable car given enough time to put it together. The superiority of Japanese brands is the level of achievement on what we call first time quality rate. This is the key on successful mass production of high quality cars. The quality of the materials, leather upholstery etc., the added gizmos and gadgets don't reflect the true quality of a car. Rather, the reliability and repeatable performance of the functional parts with minimal maintenance is the tell tale sign for high quality.

@@squidproquo2241 If reverse engineering was so easy they should have done it 10 years ago...their cars are now ok but still not exactly anything that special

@@V1ralB1ack OK! Read carefully I said anyone CAN TRY reverse engineering. It is not easy but it is not that difficult either. Lift the market pressure on car makers all of them can make one or two awesome cars. Japanese can make many awesome cars even under market pressure. That's the difference.

the car gets a lot of hate online, some of which justified. but it has one of the best powertrain in the segment. they really need to do the driving dynamics justice by refreshing the interior design. materials are excellent but unfortunately it looks dated.

Because an accord doesnt have over 350hp or superhandling all wheel drive.

In Europe the no longer Acura TSX was a Honda Accord. So they try to fool us. Whereas Mercedes is a Mercedes everywhere.

chuckback73 good answer. I don't know why people like to call it an accord. It may resemble one because their both Hondas. But they are night and day.

The 14-20 RLX Sport Hybrid was rated at 4.9 seconds to 0-60 mph and you always get 27-34 mpg in city/combined/hwy driving.

@@mrgold3591 Ok whats the 60-0 for the TLX type S?

@@mrgold3591 googled it, its says the TLX Type S can reach 60 miles per hour in as little as 4.9 seconds.

@@wavesofkatrina The TLX Type-S is more purpose built to be a sportier sedan. The TLX will have a sport tune suspension, stiffer construction, better weight distribution, tighter steering, spoty seats, improved brakes/tires, and sport tuned powertrain (engine/trans/sh-awd). The RLX is tuned for comfort with a softer suspension, more road isolation, wider seats, a lot of front end weight with engine/EV components and more interior space for adults that just happens to have 377hp/341tq available. Straight line drag and the RLX/TLX would be pretty even. The TLX Type-S would gain distance once the road got twisty.

@@mrgold3591 thanks yah that makes since.. you know your stuff ! 👍

max audi what will changing the name do

If you check the Japanese Honda site, the RLX is sold as a Honda Legend in Japan.

This is the Legend.

Pat Walk wrong its actually a fast car.just needs some luxury amenities. looks good

Aurora Jones how does it gave better tech

The new Accord is hideous as fuck, so is the RLX. And tlx. And every Honda/Acura today. Both brands are a joke anymore.

Caleb Chapman are a joke anymore?

Shut yo dumbass up couldn't afford a base accord

godfatherNYC No AWD in the ES though

A Scott rlx is fine, ilx should probably go. mdx is fine. tlx renamed and shimmed up. bring back legend and new coupe. Acura is the best!

Vpacific movement, the reintroduction of the Legend means Acura would have a lot of work to do to bring the proper respect to that nameplate !! True car enthusiasts don't represent the bulk of sales so, we have boring cars that appeal to the masses i.e., Camry, Accord, "Mom/Dad" machines !! After looking at it for some time, the RLX isn't as bad looking as I thought ! It's just an "acquired taste" so to speak!! I do love the red paint job !

Yep, like $62K.

Wow you can't be more incorrect. NSX has a twin turbo 3.5 with a 75 degree bank with the three electric motors. RLX has the normal 3.5, typicaly 60 degree bank and the three electric motors.

@@DavidH210 woow 15 degrees off and they added turbos almost the same thing fooooo

DatboyjRealwitit compression is different, and 15 degrees is a different block..

this car should be priced at $35,000, $40,000 maxxxxx

It is a performance hybrid like the NSX or MDX Sport Hybrid; not a mpg hybrid from Toyota, Honda, or Kia. It has all weather sh-awd, 7DCT, 4.9 seconds 0-60 mph, and Sport mode for max power. The hybrid powertrain is used in a similar way as turbos or supercharger: but, with way better mpgs for similar hp/tq. Stick with Toyota or Korean brands if you want a mpg hybrid.

@@mrgold3591 But to put that into perspective, a C7 Corvette can achieve a little over 20 mpg with a V8 N/A engine making 460 hp in 6 or 7th gear with highway driving, and the i4 ecoboost mustang gets 29 mpg making 330 hp. You may argue that the RLX isn't competing against those two cars, which is true, but the Corvette and Mustang both achieve similar hp/tq figures per mpg. I think the Acura should do better considering its a hybrid, even if its AWD, has 4 doors, and the hybrid system is used for performance over economy.

@@cheez1012 Unfortunately, people that are looking at the RLX Sport Hybrid are cross shopping something like the GS 450h or Q50/Q70 Infiniti hybrid (or even the non-hybrid versions). Keep in mind the RLX Sport Hybrid gets the same city/combined/hwy mpgs. I don't think the Corvette or ecoboost mustang had the same city/combined/hwy mpgs? You could; but, be very uncomfortable drive with 4 adults in a Corvette or Mustang on a cross country trip (you just have to do the trip 4X in the Corvette to shuttle 4 adults). Like I said before, Acura could either use turbos, supercharger, larger displacement, or hybrid powertrain for more power. Only the sport hybrid powertrain gave them the benefit of improved mpgs with the hp/tq increase. It is not a mpg hybrid system and the RLX has improved handling, higher performance, and better mpgs over a similar sedan with around the same hp/tq engine that uses turbos, supercharger, or larger displacement.

​@@mrgold3591 I believe the ecoboost mustang has combined 29 mpg and the corvette has 20 combined. As I mentioned in my previous comment, I understand that these two cars are in totally different categories than the RLX., but they have similar hp output per mpg. Divide the amount of hp by the mpg it gets, and you can see how much hp there is for 1 mpg (I know this dumb calculation is very basic and is not used by car manufacturers, I'm just trying to show how similar the ratios are). The Corvette comes out with 23 hp per 1 MPG, the Mustang 11.3 per 1 MPG, and the RLX at 13.21 per 1 MPG. My point here is to just say that the hybrid Acura doesn't achieve better MPG per hp compared to other vehicles, despite being a hybrid. Comparing it with an actual competitor to the RLX, the V6 Lexus ES350 F sport gets 26 combined mpg (25/34 city/highway) making 302 hp, which is only 2 better than the Acura. No, it doesn't have AWD for the V6 trims (AWD only offered on hybrid models) and no it doesn't do 0-60 in 5 seconds, but economy wise, it does so much better than the Acura even being naturally aspirated. The RLX was meant to fill in the middle ground for someone wanting a fast car t can also take a family grocery shopping, but there aren't many buyers who want that and quite honestly, this Acura doesn't excel in anything that makes it desirable in general, so that's probably why it got discontinued. Adding on, it is quite a solid and unique car for what it offers but buyers in this section wouldn't see any reason to buy it other than brand loyalty especially when it looks like an elongated ILX. As a person who has a strong passion in obscure and unique cars, even I would think twice before buying an RLX because the cars Acura has been producing for the past decade (other than the NSX) isn't something I would really want to buy. I would rather get a Honda.

@@cheez1012 The Ecoboost Mustang is 21/30/24 city/hwy/combine for 310hp/350tq. I really think you are missing the point and getting lost in the stats of the hybrid powertrain compared to the having a turbo, supercharger, or larger displacement. You get the same performance and hp/tq with improve mpg with the hybrid powertrain. That is it, no more, no less. Expecting more mpgs from the RLX is expecting more mpgs from your 460hp corvette and being confused and hung up as to why you can't get the same mpgs as a sedans. The RLX isn't an economy car and it is a 377hp/341tq sporty sedan that happens to get the same city/hwy/combined mpgs as a side effect. The 3.0L Twin turbo CT5 has 360hp/405tq and only get 18/26 mpg, 5.1 seconds to 60 mph for awd. It might surprise you to know most car manufacturers follow a similar design language with their SUVs, CUV, sedans, and coupes. Folks purchase the ILX or TLX because it looks similar to the RLX. The same goes for BMW, Audi, M-B, Jag, and Japanese and Korean brands. It is A-OK not to like a certain brand of car because it just doesn't appeal to you. Your arguments sound like "I don't like apples because they are not tomatoes" and really don't make any sense; but, to you.

377hp for a factory Honda, ok you enjoy your rest. 🌙

they are focusing on there suv lineup because no one buys sedans .

Bought the ILX, wanted a civic without the turbo and CVT. Turns out I dodge that oil dilution issue since all the kids today want lawn mower engines so long as they have a turbo. Slapped a Ktuner tune and I am all good.

CVT? Ewwwww 🤮🤮😷. Those pieces of shits are garbage. Give me the Honda traditional Torque Converter 10-speed over that any day and now we’re talking.

Blake Swan garbage did you drive it?

ChaoticCorruptor because they clearly don't care for the north American market as much the rest of the world that appreciates the Legend

I think my accord 2011 looks better than any honda (except nsx) that came later :D

i know this is 3 years old, but that steering wheel isn’t ebony. I don’t think you know what ebony means.

The rear electric motors work with the engine to achieve 380hp.

Lexus is too extra these days. And the interiors are a let down compared to the rest of the car. Atleast Acura is consistent.

chrisdblue yea next year they all will be redone inside and out

Agree

disagree they are finally coming back.

The 2019 RDX will save Acura

yes they did a great job with that one .

everybody talks about german cars like they are the ultimate until the repair bills come in for them. then the german cars arent so fantastic thats when they come to look at the Acura's. nothing cool about those constant repair bills.

weirdshibainu The Accord is equally hideous.

Heck the interior would look better of the second screen was simply taken out and replaced with some buttons

Acc0rd79 I think the MDX NSX and TLX-a spec are really nice looking cars. Otherwise I agree with your opinion on the other models

Acc0rd79 I don't know why but in the DMV area you see a lot of Acura riding around including the poorly selling Acura RLX.

Acc0rd79 they coming back next year

Acc0rd79 I feel the same and I owned three Acura’s. Something is just not quite right here.

Acc0rd79 Actually Acura is quite popular where I live, almost every single model I see on a daily basis.
