2018 TLX A-SPEC - Blue?

Does the 2018 TLX A-Spec come in Still Night Blue Pearl? I could have swore I saw an ad from Acura for the A-SPEC in this sexy blue color but I can't find it in Dealerships. Have I lost my mind?

In addition to this, blue has got to be the most limited color of the 2018's.. Anyone else agree with this? Why does Acura hold out on the blues?

Yes. Possibly, not enough data. No. Don't know corporate policies.

The hardest one to find in California is the Still Night Blue AWD. I'm still waiting on one to come out here. Newest date now is early August. I guess they're just not building many in that color and drivetrain.

This may not be scientific and I don't know how Cars.com knows what's at dealers currently, but right now it says there are 773 ASpecs for sale of those 115 in Still Night Blue 31 of which are AWD.

Mission Viejo near San Diego has a few, but a couple of the dealers in Northern California said that's where the demo cars went for the TLX training on the west coast. I'm not going to buy something that was autocrossed for dealership training.

To answer the OP's question directly, yes, they do. I have one. That color is even more amazing in person on this car, than in pictures.

My local dealer had two PAWS A-Specs in Still Night Blue at one point. Mine had to be swapped with a dealer in Michigan, who had a customer who wanted white.

You and me both Speed_Racer. I'm here in California as well. I guess it's just a waiting game for now.

I think they have a AWD Blue/Red interior at Thousand Oaks Acura if that's close to you. Spoiler900 works there in sales if you're interested.

Did they flatbed the car for the dealer swap? I really hate when buying a new car and they would only use a porter to drive the car over for the dealer swaps.

I think he said in a prior thread that they drove it over from the other dealer. Dealers here won't flatbed dealer swaps unless you pay for it.

A porter drove it from Michigan. The car was delivered to me with 241 miles on it. I'm not bothered by that because a) it's not a low-volume, rare car like my 6MT CTS-V wagon, and b) it's a lease, I'm turning it in at the end of said lease unless I decide it's a "forever" car.
