Quick Drive: 2020 Acura TLX PMC Edition

Рет қаралды 46,309

4 жыл бұрын

I go for a Quick Drive in the limited-edition 2020 Acura TLX PMC Edition. It combines the A-Spec package and the Tech package, which you usually can't get together. In addition to this unique combo, the car is also hand-built in the same factory as the NSX and given the same red paint as the NSX too. With only 360 being made, this is the ultimate TLX before the next-gen arrives. What do you think about the PMC Edition? Thanks to Acura for bringing this car to the 2019 WAPA Rally!

at this point why does acura and Infiniti still exist. theyre cars are sooo boring now and they arent great on sales either both of which is completely their own (well the parent company's) fault. this car is dumb bro, it looks great but why is it hand made when its the exact same components and performance as the standard car? Youre literally not gaining a single thing as a consumer, its basically just marketing. Also why do acuras have worse center console designs than new hondas? Shit that entire dash, even in the new suv interior looks really ugly to say the least

In an era of everyone trying to put all their features behind a touch screen, it's good to have physical control such as the volume knob. People complain at the lack of things like a volume and tuning knobs. Having these is much more instant than having to go and touch a screen that's buried within a menu. I'm just saying.

Nice car. You know what I don't like though? When the car manufacturer hires a new head designer and the guy tries to change the design language too quickly. With the new refresh models with lincoln and Acura, you can see that they try to change the front facia but it doesn't match the rest of the car which was the work of the old designer. Better to keep the old designer and let him finish the car in the 5 years time.
