How many have you seen on the road?

I live in South Florida. Lots of cars here. Have not seen a single TLX in the wild. Came back to my car the other night from dinner and found this older couple (in their 50s) seriously admiring the car. They asked me all kinds of questions and seemed really impressed with the looks. They said they have a 3G TL. Saw another couple starring at it as they walked passed it too. At least it's getting the looks...

None.
I bought a 9th Gen Accord the day they were released and didn't see one of those in the wild for a couple months. Given the lack of comparative volume It may be a year before I see a TLX round these parts.
In fact I just saw my first ILX a month ago.
I'm not complaining though - I like to be special

Aye - it does get looks.
I took my buddy and his wife out for dinner last week. His daughter didn't know I had bought a new car and when I pulled in the drive she yelled that "someone in a effing awesome looking Acura just pulled in!"

Once, when at a light, a guy in a new BMW 328i was about 1 car length behind me in the left lane while I was in the right lane. The guy decided for some reason to pull half ass behind my car so his rear was in the left lane and the front was behind me in the right lane. When the light turned green he got behind me and just tailgated me until I turned. Don't know what that was all about.

So far I have only seen one black TLX near my neighborhood, besides my own BRP.
Sometimes I see people walk around the entire car gawking. It is a pretty car.

I've seen 5 while driving, 2 black, 1 white, 2 were that chocolate color. Also, I went to a TLX launch party and there were about 5 or 6 customer cars in the parking lot. (For the record, I live in NJ).

The first time was incredible
The first time I saw one on the road it was as if I had never seen the body style before. From a wider view, the proportions of the body come to full circle in comparison to a dealer lot. I was sitting at a light to merge onto highway 400 in Georgia when I saw those gorgeous Jewel Eyes on a low riding vehicle. I knew it wasn't a MDX, so I thought it was a RLX. As I sat at the light, it entered the yielding lane for the right turn. It was in Bellanova White Pearl and was absolutely incredible. It pulled up to be the first car in the lane and just sat there like a tease. I just stared at it not even realizing that my light had turned green. It pulled in behind me, and I became lime green jealous in my 2014 MDX. It was like a commercial. I think I drooled a little...

I noticed the rear end of one, when merging onto a highway one night. But the person in front of me was driving so freaking slow that it stopped me from catching up. The piping on the tail lights looks good.

No, but I have been on the look out for them. Funny thing is, a month after the RLX release, I know I seen about 3 in my area...and we all know that it didn't sell as well as the TLX has so far.

I've still only seen 2 in the DFW area.

I haven't seen any on the road yet although I have seen some RLXs. I have been looking and usually get tripped up on IS's from a distance and side vantage point- lots of those around. I figured I would see more TLX's than i3's over time but that is not happening- many more i3s in my area and that look is unmistakable.
