I'm a huge Acura fan. Currently on my 8th Acura which is a '16 TLX Advance. This PMC edition is so beautiful in that rich color. Can't wait for the 2nd generation TLX coming out next year. The concept Type S is awesome! The 2 screen setup in the TLX gets a bad rap in my opinion. I like it and appreciate that the navigation screen is totally separate from the audio/climate control screen. The interface does need updating as well as the navigation graphics but it really isn't nearly as bad as the automotive press proclaims. I'm totally used to it and it's like second nature to me. Never struggle with it at all.

Maybe you should let the dealer walk you through the car’s features before just driving. It’s really not that hard to adjust to the radio and climate controls. (No mention of Apple CarPlay which I use in my base V6; negates any need for the stock navi so you can use Google maps or Waze.) As far as the dual screen, agreed.
