I got to give it to Acura, it’s nice car that’s also gorgeous! I just wish they’d release a version of the TLX Type-S tricked out with the Advance package.

It’s a trade off between looks vs speed. It has tremendous road presence. But it’s the slowest of its competitors. And I say speed, not performance because on a track with lots of cornering and turns, the type s can beat anybody, So if you love driving in a straight line or do drag racing and ok with looking common, type s is not for you. If you love general driving and making sharp cornering and want to look good doing it, type s is for you.

Agreed, hopefully with ktuner we go from 355 to around 550. I honestly feel like that's the perfect sweet spot, but I also wonder how the sh-awd takes the power.

True. The BMW M models are a different animal. High performance and outperforms most cars in terms of speed/performance. Acuras are good cars in term of reliability and longevity. Acuras performance on this car is good. However, it’s overshadowed by its rivals like the Infiniti Q50 and Lexus due to its extreme weight. This type s weights like 4200 lbs because it’s a bit too heavy so its not fast as competition. Also, it’s not on the same level in terms of performance such the BMW m models and other European car brands.

As someone who doesn't live in the Americas, I don't understand why Acura exists as a seperate entity from Honda. There doesn't seem to be anything about them that really separates them from just being a slightly more premium Honda. I mean, all the old Acuras were sold internationally as Hondas anyway, so why the exclusivity of them now if they haven't really become that much better to warrant a whole new brand?
@theholt2ic219
@theholt2ic219 Жыл бұрын
I think they did it because of how American people mentalities are. American people are very selective on brand name. I think more so than any other people in the world. 90s and 2000s Honda were not that luxury looking or feeling. They were just well built cars. Modern top trim Honda Civics and Accords can pass for entry level luxury cars. I personally think now Honda should merge the cars with Acura at this point. Acura still makes amazing cars but is falling behind same as infiniti. Only Lexus has set itself apart. You also have to remember that the majority of buyers do not know Acura/Lexus are actually made by Honda/Toyota. I remember telling this to someone at work one time and they did not believe their Lexus was made by Toyota. Acura sales are still okay.

Such a let down of a car. Loses options that the TLX advance trim has (including HUD, steering wheel, heated rear seats), interior looks 10 yrs old, and smaller back seat and trunk than it's competitors. I don't know what this car is supposed to be. It's not as nice as the cars it competes with, it's not as fast as the cars it competes with, and it doesn't have the tech or storage.
