This is a handy little chart for prospective TLX buyers. Looks like you don't get quite as many options with the base model, but I guess that is to be expected. It would be nice if there were some prices on this little chart though. That would make it complete.

RIP to manual transmissions, just DCt and Automatic, wow.

Thats how a lot of new 4 cylinder engines are these days, car makers are able to make them have more torque and get better fuel efficiency, not bad!

180lbs of torque with no turbo

impressive honda! if only you did this.. like a decade ago

that and with a lighter chassis, Honda/Acura is always behind on this stuff, but overall their vehicles have been improving and seem good enough to me

 

[5Gs]

they've lost touch with their roots.

i think the s2000 was the last real honda to me

their cars are all too big and heavy now

 

[typeess]

That would help them out but the rest of their vehicles do need some help too.

 

[5Gs]

im fine with the family cars

its the lack of enthusiasts cars that bore me to death

 

[typeess]

If they bring back the S2000 they will get a lot of people to love the brand again.

 

[5Gs]

yep

i would definately buy one

The chart is Canadian showing Elite, it is the Advance in the US.

Question Acura - Why Why Why NO ADVANCE TRIM WITH THE 4 CYLINDER? Why do you force people to buy a V6 to get that trim? I want the Advance features and the MPG's of the 4 cylinder, remember your roots which made Honda famous, yeah the 4 cylinder. I want to buy your product but you don't offer it in the package I want...this could be a major fail.

they're doing nonsense like this now. Gooses margins higher, claim too much choice confuses consumers... Indeed but not in the arrogant way they assume

 

[typeess]

Now, how many of you think they may make manual an option for the 2nd model year?

Maybe, but doubtful

Maybe, but doubtful

yea doubted fully, only hope for an MT is a TLX coupe, which is just as mythical as the third pedal right now Figure if accord coupe gets it TLX coupe would absolutely have to...

Acura being the luxury side of Honda, I really doubt they want to add a manual, it attracts the "wrong" kind of buyer for their image.

 

[DMVRSX2TLX]

I'm assuming that's why they discontinued the RSX in 06...

 

[typeess]

Maybe, but doubtful

yeah it's not too likely but i am noticing this more and more with car makers.
it seems like they want to push automatics bad enough to do this, sort of a way to get people used to just having an automatic.
