While I'd still like that feature, that is one of the least important items in my wish list. I think if I could get the hybrid option and the no beak option and about 5 others on my list I'd be pretty dang thrilled.

I'd like to see some dual chrome exhaust!

For me:

- Bring back the Type S and its wheels, or impress me with an even better set
- Heated and cooled seats
- Android-based system with Google Maps Navigation
- LED lighting for everything
- Rear folding seats
- Shades for the windows
- Delay-off headlights as an option even when the headlights are on the auto setting
- Touch to start
- HD radio (how come this hasn't caught on? My Zune has it and I love it)
- Proximity sensors
- Adaptive cruise control
- Automatic wipers
- Folding mirrors
- Always-on power outlets
- NO RATTLES!

Not really necessary, but would be nice:

- Extra brake light for hard braking (I love this feature on the BMWs)
- Hood light (why did companies stop putting lights there? It was so useful!)
- Steering wheel position included in memory settingssettings
- Optional rear hitch for bike racks and other light loads

I'm sure I'm forgetting some more.

I'd love a big honkin' touch screen GPS like this. They should make it also possible to control it with a joystick/mouse for those people that like that sort of thing.

As long as they make available a stripped down version with just a radio, I'm cool with this.

would love to see a digitized instrument panel like the above merc. and absolutely a manual transmission! please!

I am very simple. In addition to what Acura had stated already, two other things really would be nice to have:

1. Fold down rear seats!!!!!!!!!!!

2. Umber (or similarly luxurious and gorgeous colours!) leather interior!!!!!!!!!! (why the 2014 MDX or RLX does not carry this colour is totally beyond me - look at the amazing colours that BMW offers for its interior!? That is a sign of luxury.... so if Acura really wants to be a luxury contender....)

1. Tighter turning. after driving a KIA Optima SX turbo...jesus christ the TLs feel like a boat.

2. Folding mirrors

3. All LED lighting

4. Cooled seats

5. Always on outlets

6. USB outlets

7. Heated steering wheel

8. Heated seats that actually dont take 25 min to warm up like previous TL gens

9. Heated wiper rails


as for automatic wipers... after driving a kia with them. God they are awful. It never truly reads properly, I prefer control.

ostrich

NICE! Good for the MB here but have you seen that pitiful "stuck on" GPS screen that the latest MB and BMW's are offering!? They look so cheap and tacky.....

On the other hand, the dual screen that Acura has been offering actually is nice. They just have to figure out the software issues to make it more user friendly....

ostrich

AMEN!!!!!

ostrich

Oooh! I forgot about THIS! How nice it would be to have this, huh!? I am so glad that the MDX has it now. Shame that the RDX does not.

Hopefully, the TLX will carry this wonderful feature for our super cold climate!

Honestly my biggest wish is that Acura get the head unit update to something like what MB, Audi and Lexus are doing and to go with natural language inputs, like being able to say full address and the navi parse it out, and of course to include Google Maps. Of course I believe Honda is headed the Apple route so maybe at least Apple Maps.

Hard leathers on the seats & armrest. Soft leathers gets faded in the short time.
I dont like bmw but I like their optional leathers. it looks like new even without any maintenance on it.

I don't think at the Detroit show they mentioned hybrid or am I mistaken?

I would like to see the 6MT option on the highest trim for each engine option that is not limited to 2-3 exterior colors and one interior color. Make the 6MT trim an exclusive build to order.
I believe people who truly would want 6MT wont mind waiting - 2-3 months wait time is nothing compared to many years of driving enjoyment.

docboy

Thought I would revive this thread....

Now that the TLX production specs and ext/int design has been released, how much of your wishlist came to fruition? For me,

Rocket_man

Here are some of the wishes from this thread...

1) Aggressive styling, yet not overdone, and get rid of the excess chrome on the grill. Make it more mainstream acceptable but NOT dull.

- No comment! Way too many comments on this already!.

2) Take styling cues from the upcoming NSX and trickle it down to the TLX

- Not many it looks like

3) 7spd DCT

- 8DCT and 9HP

4) The 290ish turbo 4 engine, combined with SH-AWD, and 6MT or 7DCT in a coupe (I would easily take this over the S5 and 435).

- Nope and I doubt it ever will. Maybe in a few years a turbo, but it will be tuned for FE, not performance.

5) Flat trunk w/15 cubic ft space with folding rear seats

- YES! At least on the folding seats

6) Touch screen nav w/live traffic and actual weather temps/forecast

- Partially

7) Forced ventilated rear vents

- Yes

8) Eliminate the rear seat middle hump

- Nope, not with SH-AWD. But the seat looks fairly flat if that's what you meant.

9) True bi-xenon headlights

- LED, looks even better

10) More options (ie. HUD, Google maps, rear heated seats, pano sunroof).

- Nope, Nope, Nope, and Nope

11) Revamp the voice recognition so it has near instantaneous response time without excessive delay; the current system is useless.

- Still hope but probably the same as the MDX

1-Ventilated Seats not just in the Advanced Pkg

- Nope, only on the Advanced... unfortunately.

2-Panoramic Sunroof

- Nope

3-Heated Steering Wheel

- Maybe on the Canadian trim?

4-Some better MPG's

- Yes

5-Better NAV

- Better than what?

6-LED Headlights

- Yes

7-Heads up display

- Nope.. but maybe later

8-Built In "Smart" Remote Start (w/ climate controls and junk)

- Yes on the Advanced Trim, but I bet this is a easy installed option like the MDX

1. Hybrid tech similar to the Accord 40MPG with 0-60 in 7 seconds or less.

- Maybe in the near future

2. No beak or a very easily removable beak.

- Some say it is already gone, others 'see dead beaks' it is in the eye of the beholder

3. Better roadside noise reduction

- Promised

4. A cooled cupholder

- Bring ice.

5. A padded sunglass holder (less rattle)

- ??

6. A padded glove compartment

- ??

7. Auto dimming side view mirrors.

- I think so

8. Left and right side vehicle detection (like the accord but for both sides)

- Yes depending on trim

9. A power outlet in the glove compartment that with a switch stays on with the car off

- Nope

10. Truly cooled, ventilated seats.

- Acura says 'cooled' but I think they are really just ventilated.

11. An included bottle of touch up paint.

- Ask the dealer to throw one in.

12. LED day runner lights.

- Yes

13. The most F'n advanced GPS possible with both touch and joystick options

- Yeah, we all wish.

14. Folding side mirrors

- Only manually.
