who didn't?

 

Old but gold.

 

I'm guessing you didn't get the memo... Armed forces is now using the 2016 RDX to train it's pilots. 9Gs is nothing for that beast

It even has a anti-G forcefield that keeps the occupants of the 2016 RDX concious all the way to 20Gs.

 

What happened to their choice of the RLX?

 

Couldn't find any to buy at the dealerships?

 

something something upgraded tires something something something

 

Oh yeah they're selling like hot cakes, I'm not surprised they have a hard time buying some!

 

at $300 a month...being in a comfortable new TLX seems too good to be true, even if 4 Cylinder.

 

When did you become a TLX bag licker?

 

that's still 300 too much tho....

 

Personally, I'd get a new, loaded Accord V6, over the TLX.

 

budgetary constraints.. bought the new F-16s instead because they were cheaper

same here.. hell even the Sport is a nice optioned out car.

 

Enjoy your upcoming transmission service

 

On which car?

 

Really, taco? Really?

 

Well i dunno, it seems all Acuras have shit transmissions these days

 

that was the joke.....


its not funny if we have to esplain it to you

 

I drove one for a couple of days so I'm probably more qualified to have an opinion. It's a nice car.

Especially if properly modified.

JoeFofo, I'm talking on behalf of Kevin and his needs...my eyes are still on the Vrize. I'm either chilling with my 2 hos, or my future wife. Bettaknowthat.

 

Was wondering if there was something new up with the accord. Guess not.

 

Well that's a bullshit statement. ANY car can be nice IF properly modified. How about stock? You're not the only one who's driven the TLX, doe.

 

^i've driven the fwd v6 version.

I liked it as well.

 

Burn them at the stake!!!!!!

 

Still hoping for a 6MT variant but I don't think they'll do it - even if they introduce a Type-S trim

 

if they can figure out how to add the DCT to the SHAWD v6's....it'll be a great car! fun and engaging

 

don't hold your breath...

 

This sounds like a decent combo to me

 

cheer up my man, you still got your KBP 6MT Type S!

 

 

This. If Acura did that, I'd take a closer look at the car, again. I feel like they mixed up the transmissions with the engine choices. Is Honda afraid the DCT can't handle the V6 power? Is there not enough room? I don't get it...

A 6MT is out of question. I'd be shocked if they brought it out again.

Either way, here, the entry level TLX STARTS at 37k and tops out at 50k. That's without any options, either. I'm sure loaded up, it can easily become a 56k car. I don't see 56k worth of value.

Maybe if the car was truly bulletproof reliable, or had a choice of transmissions, etc, but otherwise, no way. Oddly enough, the website is still showing 2015 models and not 2016.

 

What if it had more power? Like competitive with 335/C400 power?

Edit: '16s are on the US site

 

I don't know, would you say the TL lineup had reliable AT transmissions so far?

 

i mean we can rely on them for failing

 

You got dem dad jokes too!

 

I really dont understand HOW YOU READ THE SAME ARTICLES THAT I DO, but you dont know shiiiiet.


Acura cant pair the DCT with the SHAWD because the SHAWD makes too much torque for the DCT to handle.

that's the 8DCT.
They have the 6 or 7 speed DCT attached to the hyrbid RLX.
but it only mates up because of the hybrid.

 

No.

Looking back at the 3G though, the transmissions DID improve in 07. Also, you had a choice of a 6MT. And the 3G was something crazy when it came out.

The 4G, even though ugly as fuck, let you still get a 6MT, and brought Sh-AWD to the table. At least there was something new to look forward to with that car. I wouldn't call it reliable though. Sounds like there enough issues with oil consumption, or whatever drivetrain component shitting the bed prematurely.

The TLX, I dunno, I guess you can get a DCT and that is a new step forward, but it's with the wrong engine. And it's nowhere near as fun as a 6MT. I know, emissions play a big role and is likely another reason the 6MT was axed. But besides for the headlights, it's not like you hear people raving about how awesome the car is (besides the fanboys).

 

 

I've never read anything about the DCT and too much power

So my suspicions were confirmed. Is it even safe to mod the 2.4 TLX then? What can they handle?

 

Out of curiosity, JS and RS, if you had to buy a replacement vehicle today, coming from the 3G, would you buy a TLX? If so, which TLX?

If not, what would you buy, assuming you have up to 42k to spend? I'm guessing RS will say V, but is there anything besides that? What about you, JS?

 

FOG/DRL: White or amber suggestions for cheap (no yellow)? Too many threads, people are asking me because birthday coming up. Budget ~$50 Kanuckistan pesos.

 

I'd buy two 5 door Yaris's ($18.5k ea) and a Honda Ruckus ($2.7k), and maybe an old moped with the remainder.
