That short commercial did absolutely nothing to make me want to see the TLX. It was just a blob under a sheet and the sound of a guy accelerating.

Racing driver? Hemlet? Guy accelerating?

It shows Acura at least cares about the "sport" part in the TLX. Not to mention it atleast sounds decent, unlike 99% of Acuras current range.

I actually prefer N/A over Turbo. Of course if there is a 350hp turbo engine I won't be complaining. Some people said the video sounded like the car had a turbo, but I'm not buying it.

The TLX NEEDS a turbo (or v6) and awd. The 200hp N/A 4banger just isn't gonna cut it..

We will find out in 3 days. I'm prepared for disappointment.

NA ftw. That's what the Bmw E39 M5 is and its regarded as the best M5 ever made, no turbos needed to make that 394HP or all that TQ.

If you listen even closer you can also hear that it is RWD too.

E34 M5 and E39 M5 were the last two... E60 is a fat pig and so is the new M5, people say the E60 M5 doesn't feel faster than the E39 M5 because of that weight and the size difference. and that the power band is all at the end... With the E39 M5 you have power everywhere.

A lot of people on the M5board that have E39 M5's were excited for the new M4.

Fuck girl scouts. Smaller boxes and they raised their prices. I just ate a box of thin mints like it was nothing. Higher prices I get, inflation and junk. But don't treat me like a chump and also decrease the amount I get.

I wanna see the post. I know that the sounds in commericals are altered, but dont ruin it for me. Only reason why I'm so excited (or want to be) is I want to stick with the Acura family.. Otherwise BMW is calling my name.

The FT1 is gorgeous (other then nose). GT4 on the other hand looks even worse then the pre-facelift Gen. coupe.

for commercials its just pre-recorded looped sounds. lol
might not even be the real engine note loop .

any one ever notice the Merc C250 commercials and how sporty and fast it seems?

I don't see them putting 20's standard. 20's on the highest trim? Yes. On the base 2.4? No.



Didn't see it mentioned anywhere, but the 2.4 on the TLX is the K24Z3 right?

They didn't say which engine it is. I assume its the k24z3. disappointing the i4 is not awd... I will never buy another 2wd car so if i end up getting this i'll be going for the v6.

I think the 20's are standard.
