Yes the 5, and 7 currently have exhaust finishers, but that wasn't always the case; hence my statement that they "had" hidden exhausts
Agree HAD as in the past. But since we are talking about trends, see post above, finishers are now in.

We are having a good intramural X28 vs. X35 fest please feel free to add your expertise. Be back later OH NO!!! have to pick up my granddaughter from school. She got her license on Saturday & maybe a TLX might suit her, you can never tell.

Finishers are not a trend, they are mostly standard.

And yet, many cars are trending away from them... hmmmm

IMO, the difficulty is that these topics are not binary. Passing out "atta-boys" is not "all" that is done. Nor would anyone want that.

Of course it has flaws, just as every car does. It's just that none that are different than the hundreds of posts already made on the topic(s).

Essentially, each of you (appear) to distill it down to a "yes or no", leaving little recourse but to disagree. When, in reality, it's not black and white, it's not love it or hate it and it's not "TLX sucks or you're a fanboi".

Colin, you might want to go back to the TLX unveil threads. While the local forum fans were pounding it I said it looked good & was exactly what Acura needed to build sales. Thought it would be good for them after the 4G.

That said I don't think its a sports sedan or a perfect car, just MHO. I expect others have a lower threshold for what makes a car a sports sedan.

repair? lol, you mean, "This is normal operation for a high-tech car such as this. The "jerkiness" is a normal response for a car that has this much HP and Torque. Here's your key, good bye!". PS, don't forget to leave us a good rating on yelp!

Lets see, we had to drop the Telsa from the trend list because it does not have an engine.

So Stew, which are the many cars with performance pretensions that have dropped finishers for a family car type smooth rear valance?

You decided to drop Tesla because it doesn't meet your rules. As for the others, do your own fricken homework.. and that's the last tidbit I'll feed you, troll.

Thanks for informing us.
Bear has spoken. Everyone must go trade in their cars now.

Still no explanation for criticizing others for things you do yourself. What a surprise.

You've already said that nothing below a V8 5 series is a true sports sedan. So I'd be willing to bet on that statement.

Don't you drive a Q50? What's that saying about glass houses and stones?

We are really into the peanut gallery now. Just so people understand the mindset of some of these trolls, Vbx runs a blog dedicated to how the G35 sucks. (That's literally a part of the web address!!!). When are you going to get one up and running for the TLX?

Key any cars lately like you advocated for in O/T when someone dinged you car accidentally?

This thread is obviously going nowhere, and is just rehashing things that were already said.

I'm all for differing opinions, and a good debate, but those here to just troll will be treated accordingly
