Thumbs down 04 TL Navi Delayed till November?

I just heard from a dealer that Auto Navi's are delayed until November besides the 6spd.:wow:

Speculation was that Acura is rolling out the higher volume units first.

Any confirmation from dealers or factory people?

There is so much speculation going on. I guess we will find out in October. Although if the demand is high on this car regardless of any delay before hand, people without deposits might be waiting an extra month.

Am I missing something?

Acura may not think so base on sales of 03 and earlier being auto no navi.

I think Navi is less than 12% of the total sales.

That's not surprising, given that many people think as I once did abou the navi...a useless $2k toy. Of course, I've come around and think it might be useful. I also agree with those people who say the center console in this car looks better and more balanced with the navi than without.

OTOH, if this news is true, maybe I should change my pre-order. I'd really like time to play with the car before it starts to snow in November.

Ever since I got my first TL-Navi, in 99, I said as long as I can afford it, I will ALWAYS get navi.

A dealer in the know on A-TSX . com indicates they have heard of no delays in navi cars, and no one else has verified this rumor. I doubt we'll hear anything official until 6 October, so sit tight, everyone!

As for navi, I can afford it and will use it.

Called my dealer today, since I have a 5AT/navi on order. He said that no one had notified them of this delay, but that he would call Acura on it.

He said his particular dealership had known "for months" about the 6MT delay...
