The TLX appears to have a ton of features that up to now you'd have to buy an RLX to get. Specifically:

- Electronic brake and brake hold. (I LOVE brake hold.)

- 3-mode backup camera

- 2-tiered center-stack screen system

- Puddle lamps (as an option)

- P-AWS

- IDS

- Jewel-eye headlights

- VCM

etc., etc.


In addition, with the TLX you get folding rear seats.

Just based on these things I'd have to say the TLX looks to be a bargain, and I have to wonder what the much pricier RLX will have to do to compete with its little brother.

Perhaps this is something you should mention in the RLX forum?

You never know - I might just do that!

Having sat in the back seat of both the RLX and TLX a couple of days ago, the RLX offers much more room back there, heated rear seats, and better refinement. Other than that......yeah, I think you've got a point.

My bet is that the e-SH-AWD will be limited to the RLX. I am still holding out for the potential performance gain of that system; that would be a huge differentiator between the RLX and TLX. Matters not either way to me, I'm intending to hold out for just a little longer on purchasing either.

my i4 tech TLX has heated rear seats......

The RLX is a very underwhelming flagship IMO. Its big and under powered and now this TLX is available with most of the same tech features that the RLX has.

I drove the RLX this past weekend as a loaner.....Mostly highway driving for about 200 miles. It was very comfortable and I thought that it had plenty of "kick" when needed on the highway, but not a car that I would put through the paces on S turns. It looks like much of the cabin on the TLX came over from the RLX. Dual screens, although outlined differently, look similar or identical. I really looks like the TLX packs a ton of value for the price. Now Acura just needs to rework the ILX and RLX, ....and bring S version of TLX

0-60 under 6 seconds is underpowered? What a new world it is.

LOL.Yeah. And when you press the "Sport" button down behind the shifter, the entire character of the RLX changes.

Too bad it locks out 6th gear, or I'd have it on all the time.

Then you drive one.

And none of it matters.
