LKAS, yes. I don't believe it has ACC though. A-SPEC or Advance for that. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

The Base model 90s-ear dot-matrix-looking iMID between the speedometer and odometer. The upgraded Milano leather is much nicer and should wear better over time.

The Tech package is very much worth it, and will be the most popular configuration for other buyers down the road.

I had a base 2016 as a loaner for a week and the downgrade was very noticeable.

I second the point about the MID in the base TLX. It looks like something you'd find in a 2010 Hyundai.

Go out to a dealership (if they're open in your area) and see if you like the tech package.

The driving assists are useful, especially LKAS and I've never used ACC so much with the shelter-in place here so it's a nice feature. LKAS I use every time I drive and ACC is nice for longer drives. That being said, could you see yourself using them or not?
