They are putting high end "stuff" on the Type S...and Type S is NOT an all out luxury version....it's supposed to be a more HP version, with
better brakes, HP engine, etc. But, yet they put the fancy stitched seats on the S...not on the Adv!! Best 3D ELS system on the S..NOT on
the Adv. If you look at the TLX....the Type S drops many goodies that are on the Adv!! Ticks me off. Unless they changed the Spec sheet
that first came out some time ago. We'll know soon I guess.
OH....and the 9 way massage seats too!!! It says..."Available on the Type S." Hmmm...wonder IF they are "available" on the Adv??
So many questions....and no answers at the moment. To me, when they Reveal....all info should be ready to go for us buyers.

IF I get any TLX it will be the Type S. They have an optional "Y" Spoke wheel with summer perf tires. It's a dark wheel.
If you look on the Acura News dated 8/20/20, on page 3 about half way down on the left...."Available Lightweight Wheels with High-Performance
Summer Tires. They are 20x9". On the far right column is the Type S column and there is a dot there. They also show a Type S on the Acura web site in Lunar Silver,
I think it is, with these wheels. If you look farther down on the Left Column, it shows the tire size as: 255/35/R20 High-Performance All Season, Available
Summer Tirres.

local dealer has 2 advanced 2020 on the lot ZERO hybrids, 18 Tech and a slew of base models. They haven't had any 2020 hybrids since about april The other dealer has 1 advance, zero hybrids, 30 some base and a dozen or so tech packages.
Not a whole lot different than in the FEB, March time when we were looking, except then there were about a dozen hybrids available
and each as a pmc edition.

I live in middle TN and purchased a 20 Advance AWD back in June. Purchased it from a local TN dealer, but they got it from a dealer in Atlanta because there were not any in TN with the color combo I wanted.
So I just checked in MDX inventory of the four Acura dealers in eastern / middle TN and one in northern AL ......... no Hybrids available!! And out of the 175 new MDXs between these five dealers, there were only 5 A Specs and 6 Advances. Of the 6 Advances, only 3 AWDs and none were the color combo I got back in June ..... so I’m glad I bought mine when I did. Plenty of Techs and Bases available though.
With the rollout of the 22 coming in early Feb., the factory in OH will be stopping production of the 20 soon, if not already. It looks like few, if any new Hybrids are remaining and very few A Specs and Advances.

Yes, the "Build Out" (meaning the last of them to be built) for the 2020 MDX was this past Monday, December 21st at the Honda East Liberty Ohio Plant. I can't remember when the last of the MDX Hybrids were assembled but I think the "Build Out" for those was back in mid September, so I am not surprised that there aren't many Hybrids if any to be had.
miles. Did all the maintenance myself .... it was never in the shop. Hated getting rid of it, but he needed a good used car. Then got a 15 V6 Accord coupe .... another great car.
Also noticed you’re in the mid OH area and in the auto industry. Work for Honda or a supplier? Spent 20 yrs in that area.

So, I got off the phone 30 min ago going over status with 2022's, and other basic info. with my New Car Sales Mgr. known for years.
Acura has been dumping '20 MDX's on dealers...which I knew about, but, my dealer is SOOO frustrated, since they have 102 new '20
MDX's on the ground with more coming!!! There are some big incentives possible for Leases right now...but, he agrees with me Acura
will have to "step up" with more incentives soon. Acura is slowing down the early deliveries of the 2022 due to all the '20's on the ground.
So, his first order was for only the allowed number of 4 MDX's. No choice on color, etc. Acura is sending them for the advertised date of Feb. 2nd
to have on the ground. He places his 2nd order next Monday. He believes they'll let him order approx. 14-15 MDX's. Mine will be one of them. And
he knows he will sell all of the approx. 18 fairly quickly after arrival. They would like to have a lot more. But, Acura knows they have to move all those
'20 models. And, he has no info on the MDX's other than what we all have...from the Spec Sheet that was released. He's going to see if Parts has an
Accessory List for the new MDX, and if so, he'll send it to me. He knows that the Build and Price is not up on the Acura site.
Crazy....and, he has zero info from Acura on the Type S.....or on the Type S, TLX. Not helpful for them or us. Acura is just bad about getting info out there,
especially as they launch this all new MDX which is going to be a big deal. He sees something..???....coming from Acura on how to get the TLX sales moving.
They are quality cars...but, just not moving off the lots.
Some of you, I know, have dealers that MAY have a direct inside communication source that most dealers do not have. If so, and it's reliable, please let us all
know...esp. the ones that know they are buying one of the MDX models...like me.

At some point in the last handful of years, you both were right. I think East Liberty handles both the RDX and MDX these days.

So from your research, do you think Acura is going to increase the incentives on 2020 MDX even more? I am seeing people claim to be buying new SHWAWD & Tech (MSRP of $52,525) for around $41,000 OTD, inc tax, title, reg and any fees. Sales tax has final price varying a bit. One guy said he did OTD price for $40,400 in a state w 6% sales tax. If I could pay $40 OTDk for a new 2020 with all wheel drive and tech, I would buy tomorrow.
the fact that the dealers themselves will heavily discount them....since I'm sure that will be another way for Acura to give "back door" moneys to the dealers for moving these
units. IF I were looking to buy a new '20 MDX I would go for it now...during these last days of Dec. Best time to buy anyway!
I have a friend on the East Coast that used to live here and I've kept him up to date on what's happening. He's an Acura guy. I told him...IF you want one, NOW is the time.
There will be some pricing differences between dealers...depending on location in the country and how many they have on the lot. Smaller dealers will have a few, and thus
not so motivated to heavily discount them. Dealers like mine, with over 100 units...STILL on the ground...well, what can I say...??....A great deal can be had, I know.
Also, I've picked up on the fact that many, if not most of the MDX's that Acura sent to the dealers are more of the base and Tech models, with much fewer A-Specs and Advance's.
As for actual OTD costs....well, I won't question what "some guy did on a sale"....but, to me a Tech model with SH-Awd OTD at $40K is probably not quite right
Just the vehicles selling price alone for about $10K off MSRP is doing quite well. Add your sales tax etc, on to that. IF...IF you could get one like this OTD for $40K
I couldn't write the check fast enough!!

country will get.....4!!!!....2022 MDX's. He couldn't specify...Acura picked what they would send him. On Dec.14th Acura let him order 20 units. They are slowing them
down due to all the leftover '20's. Luckily MY 2022 Advance is in that first order of 20 vehicles.

told the dealers that's what will be happening. And....it certainly looks like that MOST of the '20's are.......Base models and Techs. Not so many A-Specs or Advances. Not sure on SH-Awd versions.

What I'm seeing in my research and talking with my New Car Mgr.....Acura dumped a ton of '20 MDX's on the dealers without them ordering certain models or colors. Acura back in early Oct. I believe
told the dealers that's what will be happening. And....it certainly looks like that MOST of the '20's are.......Base models and Techs. Not so many A-Specs or Advances. Not sure on SH-Awd versions.

Tend to agree with tsturbo. I have an RDX '19 advance. 10 speed is super smooth, almost no issues in 2.5 yrs - infotainment has been very reliable (especially after 1st update) - my experience is nothing like what I've read from online reviews or car magazines. Maybe I got one of the good ones? Who knows. My wife has a 2014 MDX - 3.5 liter earth dreams V6. Literally has had nothing go wrong with it - just normal maintenance schedule and wear items. So the 2022 MDX has proven engine/powertrain. If the infotainment system doesn't do any worse than my '19 RDX (with updates) is doing now, it will be fine.

I guess I should take into account the extra time they've had to work out any bugs. I did like the infotainment system of the RDX as well as the ability to play multichannel FLAC files via USB. I hope that feature is still going to be available.

If the infotainment is exactly like the one in the RDX/TLX then you can expect onboard storage to be missing and only a single "smart" USB port.

2016 Acura TLX
Looking at these first look videos, the vast amount of gloss black trim really cheapens an otherwise good looking interior. The should have swapped the gloss black and wood sections that run across the dash. Not a deal breaker, but still disappointing. Also that has to be one of the cheapest looking engine covers I've seen in a while. It just looks so unfinished with that pho carbon fiber and that front edge with the exposed bolts. A flat piece of plastic would have been much better than what they put in. Then again, you'll rarely need to look at the engine.

Unless I'm mistaken, only the Advance and possibly the Type S will have the real open-pore wood. Open-pore wood is nice but other folks like Mercedes always lacquer the wood. The reason? In a crash, fewer sharp objects pointing at you!

Gloss black is still a finger print magnet and will also scratch fairly easily. Would drive me nuts. I believe a lot of the newer Audi's are using vast amounts of it too. Even there, I don't find it classy. Would rather have a matte plastic than that, but to each their own.
