That fancy blue one we have all seen pictures and videos of? I saw it on craigslist in Los Angeles if anyone is interested. Not sure pricing or details just sharing the ad

#HP5979 2015 Acura TLX low 1,100 miles

Woww!! that blue is amazing. Literally my jaw drop. Beautiful ride man. The front and rear is on point!! Someone will be an owner to a special rare TLX

The color looks great but I'm not a fan of the mods as a whole....

Stew4HD

It's an I4 if the shifter is any indication

Jakes_tl

Car looks great. I love the color and the wheels!

JT4

I think it looks great, maybe I missed it, but what are they asking?

BeezleTL85

Someone needs to buy it and mass produce the front and rear. Would never consider personally since it's an i4

E90 Skye

love that front bumper, side skirts, and wheels!

I hate it when car dealers don't list the price online.

Mr Hyde

Interesting. With the aggresive body kit, color, etc, I would have thought they would have gone with an AWD V6 model, and some engine mods.

Stew4HD

Same here. I always find it odd to see twin exhaust tips on a 4 cyl., but that's just me

07Acuradude

$49,995.

Out of their freaking mind...

There's gonna be someone to pay that price. I sure as hell wouldn't

spoiler900

Thats about $15,000 more than MSRP. Well, Im sure an enthusiast would buy it.

Rocketsfan

How enthused can a person be?

Rae Rad

I hope its 15,000 worth of mods

07Acuradude

its a 4 banger front wheel drive. Way overpriced IMO. Beautiful car though, the blue is gorgeous.

I have always fantasized about wrapping my car in a nice blue, not a fan of the fanthom blue to dark imo plus black interior wasnt an option (in US) and blacking stuff out, this gives me a great idea.

Typical Acura...too cheap to even give Galpin the "hi-po" model to back up the looks. What's that saying...all show and no go

Well based on their press release...

It was basically a design study for SEMA. So what version of TLX was irrelevant.

Fair point...but something tells me BMW wouldn't have given AC Schnitzer a 320i to make a show car that was more aggressive than even its own M3

SykVSyx

I guess this was their idea as well.......

Mr Hyde

Really did you read that press release? The word performance was used 3 times in the first paragraph, and if you want to talk performance, you usually want to start with the highest performing base.

CybrRdr

Yes I did read the whole article. It references 3 different TLX's. The Gaplin TLX, the HPD / Realtime TLX and a TLX featuring Acura Genuine Accessory package.

In reference to the Gaplin TLX, the word "performance" is mentioned here:

1. "Galpin Auto Sports Acura TLX to debut at SEMA featuring custom styling and performance modifications"
2. "performance-oriented exterior modifications made by Galpin."
3. "Blending luxury and performance elements into the design"

I interpreted "performance-oriented exterior modifications" as cosmetic enhancements.

The article then goes on to say the following:

"The Galpin TLX represents a collaborative effort between Galpin Custom Car Works and the Los Angeles-based Acura Design Studio. Sketches developed by Acura Design and the exterior cues of the TLX GT racecar served as the basis for performance-oriented exterior modifications made by Galpin. The Galpin TLX showcases a new signature Acura brand color, Andaro Blue."

This lead me to the conclusion that this was a design study between Acura Design Studio and Gaplin CCW.

Watch it, its making of this car

That color and that body kit are GREAT IMO. But $50k for a used 4-banger TLX? I dunno...

Mike_TX

I'm probably in the minority here, but that looks like the same blue that was on the little plastic toy cars I used to play with as a kid.

That's why I never associate it with REAL cars. Give me almost any color but blue.
