Nice rev match during deceleration ! But for a honda engine, it should rev up faster than that... lighter cam shafts perhaps?

It's the prototype red on a production model

The difference a color makes...

Nine speed dual clutch and sport plus mode will maximize every gear!!

smoooov

not a bad 0-60 given the launch seems pretty soft. No brake torquing. I think the mag reviews will brake torque the hell out of that AWD car and get a faster launch and a quicker time. They usually are a lot harder on the cars than most owners would be.

Every single time I look for a new car I always tell the sales people NOT to show me the features, tell me about the car, or try and sell me on the car. I do my own research and will explore the car on my own!! I can't stand listening to people trying to "sell" me on a car by giving me false useless info, like this video guy said about the 9 speed dual clutch, LOL! I can't count the number of times sales people have lied to me like that thinking I wouldn't know the difference, little do they know how much research I've done on my own.

Is the 9 spd a dual clutch transmission also? Didn't know that the outside mirrors are auto dimming.

CheeseyPoofs McNut

No - he misspoke about the 9 speed being a DCT - don't know about the side mirrors.

seaeyes

Side mirrors are auto dim with adv pkg

I found this to be a really interesting video, nice find.

Just noticed it appears briefly in the "My Way" video too...riding on what appears to be the stock 18's for the V6 (or perhaps the ones on the Russian model) with a more traditional finish. IMO it should've been this way all along...the black/silver coating makes it too wiry looking

Not sure if this was posted anywhere yet... so yeah

Ron, what you need to do is post some videos.

Here's the kind of commercial Acura should make if they made a Type-S again...

Quandry

This video should come with disclaimer that it is only for US models. In Canada after saying "Address" you are taken directly to a screen with for Province, City, Street, and Number. With each of these it is one letter entry at a time, e.g.,
- Talk button, wait, say Street
- Talk button, wait, say letter
- Talk button, wait, say next letter, etc.

It's like pulling teeth, but worse. Faster to pull over and use the keypad for entry or use AcuraLink from home before starting out.

This is poor, and I want a hack or an upgrade from Acura.

Can some US owner try to voice enter this command and report the results. After saying "Address", follow up by saying "1 King Street Toronto Ontario".

Gregg

But for those in Canada with AcuraLink (or the US that continue to pay after the trial), you can use AcuraLink to (more) easily enter a destination. There's a video above outlining the procedure, but here's the link


Believe me...I find the methods of input so onerous, I'm just going to keep using WAZE on my mobile device.

ostrich

Oh dear! The 4G TL voice command system was so difficult for me that I just gave up. I hated that silly input thing where you had to enter each letter one by one!!! I surely hope that the TLX will not have the same ridiculous algorithm....

BTW, what brand has got this done right please? Please pardon my ignorance, I just do not know. When I test drove the Mercedes E Class recently, their voice command input was just as screwed up... LOL! I wonder how the Lexus, BMW, Audi and Infiniti systems do?

Couldn't help myself. Highly unlikely that either Victoria or Bob, like me, will ever push this car to near its performance limits., but we all like it.

^ Was there a TLX in that vid??

4thaccord

Having had the unfortunate problem of having to use First Acura on several occasions for both sales and service, I can tell you that would be the ONLY reason to visit that dealer.

Why is the grass always greener elsewhere?

- clear front corners make the front look more premium (and more like the prototype)
- clear rear corners give the rear some much needed detail/contrast
- 18" wheels here look more premium than our 17's and 18's (but not our optional 19's)

I can understand the clear lenses not being DOT approved here, but why can't we have those 18's, at least as on option?

9SpeedTran

I am not sure the rear lenses being all red in the US is DOT, as other cars are not. I think it is a Honda design choice, one which I have always regretted because orange turn signals are much more easily visible.

The front lenses look the same as the US to me, what am I missing?

Can't remember the last time I saw a car in the US with clear rear corners...if it isn't illegal here, then maybe the red rear corners are illegal elsewhere (hence the Chinese and Russian MDX/RDX get amber rear corners). The Chinese ZDX in particular had clear rear corners that were especially nice...



As for the front lens differences...CDM/RDM vs. USDM -

Funny how I was upset with the Russian wheels and now, I feel they look better than what we have in NA.
