Both my cars(including the one I replaced with the TLX) are 1st year models. I haven't had any problems with them except regular maintenance on them whatsoever. None of them were/are Toyotas. The one that I got rid of was 13 years old. The other one is 8 years and running great.

i have a love hate relationship with the new mdx. front end is beautiful but it looks like a fucking minivan/soccer mom type shit. i cant figure out why acura doesnt just get serious and develop a v8 to put in the rlx and mdx. theres really no diffrence between the tlx and rlx except 20 hp and 400 lbs. i cant seem to grasp why someone would pay 13,000 more for an rlx. unless youve got shaq in your back seat it makes no sense

Acura's styling masterpieces the last 15 years are the 2G MDX and the 3G TL.

The farthest back Good Car Bad Car go for a December data is Dec 2010 with the TL (the supposed fugly pre MMC 4G) and the TLX both 2 years old..and the economy still in the crapper.

I think it's safe to say Acura has lost a lot of momentum over the past 5 years. What they're trying to do now with the new TLX and the revamped ILX is reverse the tide and start trending the other direction. 2015 will be very interesting.

Don't know about nationwide, but my dealer had very few I4's to sell - thought I read that production needed to catch up to demand, but don't know if that's true?

Also - if you look at the TLX sales number as a percentage of Acura's sales overall in some ways TLX sales increased from December to January.
In December the TLX was 21.5% of Acura's total sales.
In January the TLX was 24.1% of Acura's total sales.
That may not seem like much but it's a HUGE difference for Acura. The TLX was running 28-31% from September-November - the stop/sale hurt December's numbers.
If the TLX can run 24-28% throughout the year Acura will sell 42-50K units and have a hit on their hands (I'm assuming 175,000 sales for Acura this year - it's a bit of a hard thing to do as TLX sales will obviously change the total number.). If they are 21.5% they will sell 35-38K units and everyone will question their sanity/call for RWD/call for Ito's head...oh wait they do that already. The TLX can hit 40K selling at 21.5% only if Acura hits 190,000 units as a brand - I don't see that happening without the TLX selling 50K vehicles (a 26% rate) because I can't see the RDX/MDX/ILX growing by all that much.
Colin brought up a good point in another thread - the new ILX with the 2.4L might have some people waiting to buy until they drive the ILX. It also does seem that I4's and SHAWD models are selling well. Acura should sell over 12,000 units as a whole in February so look for the TLX to be above 3,000.
I will say that the next few months are going to be interesting for the TLX - it's been the star of the show for Acura since it's release but now the new MDX, new ILX and soon to be new RDX are going to need their own press (though Acura has so far somewhat downplayed the MDX changes). If the TLX is going to be a success in the long run it will have to do so without being front and center all the time. The next four months are critical for the TLX and Acura as a whole as response to the ILX, the 9AT in the MDX and the release of the updated RDX are coming...the TLX has to remain a strong seller throughout all the other things happening. 24/25% sales rate is key.
We also have yet to see the TLX in a comparison which I find interesting. If the TLX can put up a strong showing it will help.

I think it will beat the Q50 moving forward. Because of the way fleet sales work Nissan/Infiniti run bigger numbers the first quarter of the year.

i think the next few months are crucial for Acura. TLX can't lose from Q50
Last year's sales were BMW, Lexus, MB, Audi, Cadillac, Acura and Infiniti. I am hoping this year with with the new RDX and ILX and full production of TLX Acura beats Cadillac and Audi.
