Going from 2007 TL Type S to 2015 TLX
Guys;
I'm strongly considering upgrading my 07 TLS to a 15 TLX in the next 6 months.
I was able to do a very preliminary comparison of specs from what little info there is available.
Here are some specs on the 07 TL Type S:
Here are some specs on the new 15 TLX:
I do wonder if the suspension will be tuned for sport like the TLS or for luxury like the standard TL has been though? Will Sport+ change the suspension at all?
A few things I am hoping for with the TLX would be:
Seem reasonable?

Here are some specs on the 07 TL Type S:
- Length: 189.9"
- Wheelbase: 107.9"
- Height: 56.7 "
- W: 3515 lbs
- HP: 286
- TQ: 256
Here are some specs on the new 15 TLX:
- Length: 190.2"
- Wheelbase: 109.3"
- Height: 56.7" (based on 1/2" lower than current TL)
- Weight: around 3500lbs (based on 200lbs less than current TL FWD)
- HP: 290
- TQ: 267
I do wonder if the suspension will be tuned for sport like the TLS or for luxury like the standard TL has been though? Will Sport+ change the suspension at all?
A few things I am hoping for with the TLX would be:
- shorter turn radius
- less noisy cabin
- less torque steer (sucks its still FWD)
- better fuel economy
Seem reasonable?

10th Gear
I have an 07 Type S and honestly see no reason to rush to upgrade right now. Honestly, I'd wait a year or 2 and see if they debut a Type S or some type of sport version. If not, I'll probably be looking at another brand.

hey sillies; the TLX hasnt even come out yet.
why are you even considering it? as its not even tangible
the current speculation right now is that the i4 version will have a sportier suspension set up, as it has the sportier transmission.
the six cylinder model will be the "lux cruiser" with softer suspension and 9 gears in its automatic tranny.
so, your comparison between the 3rd gen TL and the TLX is all speculation and probably not true.

Seems like Acura and Infiniti are in competition to produce the next generation of boredom.
I don't want a plush sedan. Not after test driving an M235i and Porsche Cayman.

07 TL-S
im considering the same thing as i have grown old of the rattles and lack of sturdiness. 07 kbp tls here. i know 3g looks better, i keep mine in pretty clean condition. i love the interior of the TLX minus the lack of shift knob but... i do love the dual screen. im trying to like the exterior but its hard to.
going to look at 2014 audi s4 tomorrow...
oh.. and i hate the fact there is a possibility they might make a TLX type s 2 years later rather than now. so TLX may be out of the question for me just on that.

Be careful with Audi. Every Audi I ever see on the road has an LED front headlight burned out. A family member of mine is an Audi mechanic and he doesn't speak highly about their reliability. Probably best to lease an Audi and then wait 3 years to buy an Acura TLX type S if they ever come out.
