LOL, pot, meet kettle. Who the hell are you to tell me my opinion is asinine? I formed this opinion after test drives,, but I guess it must be my imagination or my total all out love for the TLX.. yeah
Seems to me you feel the need to justify that extra cost you spent for that poor handling boat by defending it here. I'd love to take you on at the track.. and watch you eat in the turns... you can go faster in the straight line.. but that is where it stops. It's not just an opinion, it's been shown.
Who's the one being sensitive here? Not me. You turned this into a pissing match because I dissed your car on a TLX site? Really?
Do you have stock in Infiniti?
With that, I wave bye bye to you.. bzzzt

Acura TLX Review - Motor Trend
"The TLX pulled 0.82 g average on our skidpad, dead even with the TSX and way behind the TL, which pulled up to 0.91 g average. " Im pretty sure they are referring to the SH-AWD model they wrote the article about but it doesnt say for sure.
By the Numbers: 2014 Infiniti Q50, G37, and G35 Sedans
0-60 mph: 5.2 seconds Quarter-Mile: 13.8 sec @ 102.1 mph 60-0 mph: 110 feet Skidpad: 0.87 g (avg)
So the Q50s RWD definitely rates better on the skidpad than the TLX AWD (not the BEST measure of handling, but since its from the same source for both vehicles, its at least a good comparison). I would imagine the Q50S AWD would be even better than that, but cant find direct numbers right now. Will keep searching.

I have yet to belittle anyone that owns the Altima, I mean Q50
. It's not nice to give an honest opinion and quote information based on real life test drives from more than just me.. Whatever.. this is talk going no where and has hurt some feelings so it's best to just let the TLX die a slow death

Escalate to the simple R/T trim of the Charger and the TLX get its ass slapped fairly significantly across the board (skidpad and braking)
The Scat Pack or the SRT 392 simply annihiliate the TLX to a pulp (again, we are not talking about just acceleration)
Hellcat?? hahahaha
