I'm curious of the quality of the blue paint compared to the 2019 acura rdx blue paint. I kno in the rdx acura said they spent extra to ensure the blue paint quality. I wonder if it's the same for the blue tlx.

Close to 10k on my A-Spec and the alcantara is still like new, the leather on the sides of the seats already shows some wear and creasing. I keep it garaged. I agree, 10 year old leather 90% of the time looks like crap. The darker the leather the worse it looks. Alcantara is normally pretty durable. Not good for steering wheels but for the seat inserts its fine and used on many more expensive cars. The again time will tell as the quality of the alcantara can vary just like the leather. I won't have the car long enough to know how it looks in ten years but it will most likely still be perfect when I go to sell the car. I have the blue exterior which is a love or hate color so I passed on the red as that is another love it or hate it choice for the interior so the market is limited on resale (the sales manager at the dealer gave me that info) but I think he was probably right.
