Are you guys convinced that TLX is overall better than the 4G-AWD?

I test drove the TLX a couple days ago. It had the V6 with tech package. Interior is really nice, a ton of nice features and plenty of power. Would I drop 40k on it. Yes, but I would be waiting for the AWD which doesn't come out for a couple more months. I bought the 2014 SH with tech and I still am very happy with my purchase. The TL is more of a classy/bossy car where the TLX is more sporty in looks. If I could mix the 4g and TLX I would have the dual screens, the diamond LED's and the 4 different drive modes with the button shifter.

Like I mentioned I'm waiting for the AWD model to come out.

boring lol

it lacks so much of the hair-raising power of the TL. I also wasn't a fan of the dual screens at all.

granted, I've seen a couple modded ones already and they look incredible

I test drove one but it was FWD. SH-AWD version hasn't hit dealers yet so comparison IMHO is moot. Regardless, I thought the TLX FWD drove much like other Honda FWD sedans with V6 horsepower. Definitely not as stiff as my SH-AWD... much smoother/softer and luxurious with alot of sound insulation. It feels much improved in that department.

As carbon mentioned above, I also don't like the fact that it looks smaller from the outside. It's more TSX than TL... and in that respect I'd feel like I was downgrading. I like the big executive size of the TL... even if it's just an illusion of exterior dimensions. Interior space was very similar to the TL if not SLIGHTLY smaller in terms of width and headroom.

I also hate the interior. The second touch screen is so recessed along its bezel, it reminds me of an old cathode ray tube TV screen. I wish Acura can figure out how to mount it flush up against the plastic. For some reason the AC vents look very cheap too... reminds me of a Hyundai for some reason... but that's just my taste.

won't even look at these unless a 6MT comes out... doubtful

Oh the part I like the most about the TLX is Acura went back to 5x114 bolt pattern. Unlimited options on the best wheels in the market. I hate 5x120! It's too limited.

The only 2 things from the TLX I wish my TL had are those jewel headlights and quiet ride.

Improved mpgs and jewel lights. I also wonder about the shawd which now works on deceleration.

i had a 2014 RLX for 3 days while my TL was getting some service done (insulating rear subwoofer speaker and covers/panels)

One thing I noticed is that the steering radius is waaaaay tighter despite being a bigger car. My TL often requires 3 point turns when trying to pull a U-turn. I'm guessing TLX would enjoy a similar benefit.
Also the dual screens are quite nice when you get used to them. Makes for less clutter with all the buttons everywhere.
