Its a dealer call. Also the rules are bent for what they think of as good customers.

This forum is really going downhill with people like you. I thought the Honda Accord forum (Drive Accord) was really bad. There's no need to attack anyone for their opinions. That's the whole point of this forum, to state opinion. If there are facts that go along with opinions, then links will be provided.

You made the statement, not me. So, if you state your opinion and I disagree, I am to beg to differ, ask to had tea and crumpetts while we discuss the virtues of The Accord being the car a family would buy instead of the TLX?


BTW, I did not attack you, just made a statement about your statement. And I thought i had thin skin.. sheesh. lighten up

The IS250 is at 101 (90/11).
The A4 is at 103 (91/12).
The TLX is at 107 (93/14).
The 3 series is at 109 (96/13).

For comparison the ILX is at 101 (89/12). The RLX is at 117 (102/15).

As several people have pointed out - the usable space in the TLX makes it feel a bit bigger than the numbers say it is - the "tandem spacing" and long wheelbase help.
I looked at some old brochures for the 1g TSX/3g TL and the TLX is mostly in the middle:

1G TSX is at 104.1 (90.9/13.2) @ 3345lb (auto/nav) & 183.5"
3G TL is at 110.4 (97.9/12.5) @ 3591 (auto/nav) & 189.3"
1G TLX 107 (93/14) @ 3492 (i4/tech) & 190.3"

So the TLX is in the sweet spot between these older models in all categories but length and cargo in which it's larger.

I must disagree with that one. Acura dealerships, at least in Chicagoland, are top notch and Honda doesn't come close IMHO.
