Well as the Title states, My wife works for American Honda in Torrance, CA and we just pre ordered a TLX V6 Tech package. Bellanova White w/ Expresso Int. Also got it with the Underbody Spolier kit, Decklid Spolier, & LED Fogs... Should be arriving late November/ early December. They had an awesome deal for employee lease with an option to buy after 12 mos is up.

I drive a Base 3rd gen TL and shes drives a 14 Accord Sport. She will be driving the TLX to work daily and I guess I can let my TL rest few times a week and drive the Accord since its better on gas.

Any TLX V6 owners out there, please chime in. Wanna to know on some of your guys feedback.. Thanks!

 

So what are the perks of being an Acura employee regarding leasing than the typical $299 per month with almost 3k down payment? Spill the beans damn it? :-)

 

No money down, no credit check, maintenance included, 30k per year. Say of your lease is $400/ month. They deduct $200 bi- weekly from your paycheck. At around 10 mos, you will have the option to order a Honda/Acura Vehicle to lease again. So either you keep leasing, or you can choose not to and just drive your personal car. 2 months later.. your new vehicle is ready for pickup at the Honda campus.

 

Congrats!

 

You picked the best exterior color for sure.
*ducks*

 

Hmm.... still trying to decide if BWP or SSM is the best exterior colour!!!???

 

I got a similar deal on a VW when my brother worked with their HQ in UK. In fact I could have got an S3 for about £125 - say $250 at the time but insurance was nasty. The only snag was it had to be returned in perfect condition, as in absolutely showroom new. Which was next to impossible, but thankfully they only dinged me £125 for a few tiny rock chips.

 

Either way, it will be a Win Win situation...Good Luck!

 

I have a V6 TLX Tech, crystal black pearl, ebony interior with fog lights, splash guards, chrome door trim and body side molding. I moved up from a 2003 TL S-Type and I'm loving this new ride. It looks great and the ride is super. I considered Audi and Lexus but to me the TLX was the absolute best value for the money.

 

Shhhh, great color, don't tell everyone as new buyers will start getting this rather than the BWP or SSM. I like to be a little different, but did not opt for door trim or side molding.

 

Update: Wife just received an email from her employer, that the TLX will be arriving at the dealer (Cerritos Acura) on Nov 4th....hopefully it will be PDI'd fairly quickly and should be in my wifes hands by the week of the 10th... perfect timing.. we just booked our hotel for Vegas thanksgiving weekend!...

 

^^ Congrats! Must be exciting indeed

 

If your dealer gets it next Tues 11/4, you may be able to pick it up by next weekend..

 

Hopefully so! We'll see

 

I have the TLX in Belanova White with Expresso interior! No spoilers, I did not like the way that Acura designed the spoiler for the trunk! They could have made the same small spoiler as in the previous models! It looks gaudy and also appears to large for the trunk!

 

It's a game with us - what color is our Black Copper Pearl car is going to be today? Black? Brown? Sparkly copper/brown? Depends on sun/cloud, shadows, etc. It was the right color choice for us. Lots of compliments.

 

+1. I am with you on that. Best color.

 

I have a V6 Advance BWP with Espresso, and a spoiler. I have absolutely no regrets; especially with the colors, both inside and out. I can't imagine owning another car without the espresso interior. Even 2 months later, my wife is still in love with the espresso and so am I. Can't imagine getting a black interior again. It just strongly feels like it adds that extra feeling of luxury.

 

+1 on the color.

But don't neglect BWP + greystone.

 

I have the V6 and to me it's a no-brainer. Nothing against the four but the additional HP, torque, and that you must have the six to have AWD settles the issue. You're gonna love it!

 

I took delivery of the SSM SH-AWD Tech a few weeks ago. The SSM is a really sharp color with the ebony interior. I've gotten a lot of compliments.

 

I got a V-6 Advance in Graphite Luster and I love it. Getting a hair over 30 mpg even keeping up with the speeding pickups on the way to work in the morning. Does my heart good to zip around them.
