@some guy11 I had a 16 Accord and the LED strips went out. One was right before the warranty and they replaced it at no charge. The second went out right after warranty and they covered that one as well. I leased the car as I did my 19 TLX. They did the right thing as they have to replace the whole light assembly. It's not cheap. As for the jewel led lights on the TLX I would think they are good as they've been around for a few years now..

Nice find. Agreed about the jewel. I love everything about my headlights. I know they’re expensive to replace, but they work great and I haven’t read about many issues. On the other hand, I’ve seen those Accords you mentioned all over the place, either part of an LED strip not working or one of the two LEDs off entirely. It looks really bad. I don’t know what the fix costs of if the owners even know it’s out. You don’t see your own DRLs.

[QUOTE=WTF.Acura;16436160]They replaced the whole assembly for the jewel DRL or the strip DRL[/QUOTE
This was for the 16 Accord I had. There wasn't a jewel headlamp on that car. The DRL LED strip started to go dim. It was a defect. There replaced the headlamp and LED strip because they are both together as one piece.

"Not exactly the quality you expect when buying HondAcura."
The problem is that some of these parts are from third parties. In the case of the Accord LED DLR it was not produced by Honda. If Honda agrees to use their parts and is sold on the quality, then it may be something not known until the customer is using in the real world after some time. As for the issue with the Accord light, it appears to happen before 40k miles for most. So hopefully many will use their warranty after looking at YouTube videos for information. Yes it was nice of Honda to replace the one after warranty. I've been a long time customer of Honda/Acura and makes perfect sense with all of the competition out there. I'm sure the vendor of the light is hearing it from Honda on the quality issue.

People said it’s not the RDX because when these pictures was taken the RDX was already out, some suggest that it’s a sub that slots between the RDX and MDX sort of Acura passport type suv

This was also an image taken on that day so why cover up a vehicle that already put and breaking sales records

They also blurred out a monitor which probably was showing images of future vehicle design and the picture that I post early the front end of the vehicles were blurred out

2020 Acura TLX Type S Spotted Testing Against S4, AMG C43, Could Get New V6 Turbo
We recently purchased an RDX. Our two "regular" cars are ancient (2004 Saab and 2001 CL-S) so we're looking for a new sedan in the near future and looking forward to seeing what happens with the TLX. The possibilities are exciting.

I feel the same frustration with no information, but Honda/Acura have always tightly controlled communication - no leaks. My guess is that they will show up as promised and we all get the information we want in mid-August. Until then, it's just speculation based on limited facts.
The Precision Concept is a pretty big design shift for Acura, and if I were running their marketing department - which I am obviously not and they aren't asking my opinion - I would have some fun with this next launch by releasing some hints along the way. Why not stir the speculation pot a little further. I guess Pebble Beach is a good venue for a big announcement - lots of car people around. However, it's focus is cars of the past - really special cars of the past, so hopefully they get the attention they desire and not thought of as irrelevant. I will presume they have done their research and it's a great launch.

Better they hold off rather then a redo of the original TLX launch.

Acura did a phenomenal job with the RDX. First with the teaser, then the official launch. Last but not least, their press release/test drives and inviting all the journalists to British Columbia, Canada were outstanding.
I really believe they got an amazing coverage and since they made a great car. The journalists went above and beyond to praise it.
I hope they do the same with the MDX and TLX.

There are four lights!
Heh, thread title needs an update! Next year will be busy year for Acura. They're probably going to launch both the TLX and MDX. And then ZDX 2.0 and whatever that Pebble Beach vehicle is going to be in 2021. My conjecture.

I'm hoping Acura knocks it out of the park with the 2G TLX and the next MDX. Myself, I am counting down the months until my current TLX lease ends (ten more). Was hoping to avoid the first-year blahs of a new model next year. Now, it's looking like there will be no fresh Acura product to change to at the end of my lease...and I'm not an SUV guy.

My wife and I are waiting with great interest to see what the future holds for the TLX. We recently purchased a 2019 RDX, but still need a sedan to replace our 2001 CL-S and a 2005 Saab. If the next version of the TLX turns out to be a dud, we'll no doubt be driving an Accord.

I totally agree, the current generation Accord is pretty darn good. The interior space is absolutely ridiculous, especially in the back. It's got something like 4 inches more rear legroom than the TLX, and the 10speed transmission in the 2.0T model is heads and shoulders more responsive and smoother and faster shifting than the ZF9 turd in the TLX. It's too bad that you can't have the manual 6-speed paired with the 2.0T Touring trim; I would absolutely take that over a TLX V6 FWD for the same price.
