Silver = LIKE!

I am not usually a silver fan because I think that it may be a bit bland, but it works exceptionally well with the TLX.

LIKE!!!

I have to say that this thread rocks! And you Ron are our hero!
Nice dedication.


First mod for this silver pappy: paint in black the front chrome strips.

Nicely said.

The top of the line TL was around $45-46k in the US, correct? And now word on the street is the priciest TXL will be at $50k.

What sort of additional features besides ACC are we getting for $50k, anyone know?

Here's another Pic i found on instagram. Unfortunately the picture quality isn't so great. I really don't care for this color though. Definitely love the silver and the Black one that was posted a couple of pages back.

I followed the link that someone posted today - Acura of Westchester had this great photo of the silver TLX:



I really like it! I am not sure if it's just the lighting but it does seem to have a bluish hue there. If it truly does have it then it's perfect. I guess it might right, since it's called slate silver or something like that? Let's hope so!

randomRon82

Yep, that one is on page 8 on here. I agree with you in certain lighting/angles it does have a bluish hue! I thought it was just me... or that they were playing tricks with lighting or something to make it look better... but then in some pictures it just looks regular silver like the one below.

I saw this earlier too, wish the poster would have gotten better/more pics. I just cannot pin point why this color is not flattering for the TLX. It looked so horrible during the NY production reveal imo.

randomRon82

I saw this earlier! I was literally going to reply to them and ask if they were legit or smoking crack.

I actually owned a Cutlass!

My TL is anthracite, but I'm going to buy a silver TLX, I love this color!

I know this is neurotic, but does it irritate anyone else to see the guy with his hand on the car in this pic? LOL!

I can't say 100% for sure, but based on pics, many of the driving tech features you find in the Advanced models of the RLX/MDX will likely be in the TLX.

ACC (Adaptive Cruise Control)
LKAS (Lane Keep Assist)
LDW (Lane Departure Warning)
CMBS (Collision Mitigation Breaking System)
FCW (Forward Collision Warning)
Front/Rear Parking Sensors
Dynamic Rear Camera Guides

Here's another pick of my RLX cockpit at night, with LKAS and ACC in action.



If you look in the MID on the dashboard, you'll see the graphic icons for both a Car and lane indicators. The Car icon (along with the distance lines behind it) indicate that ACC is actively tracking a vehicle in front of you and the lines indicate the currently selected distance in which to maintain between you and the car. The side lane icons indicate that LKAS is actively tracking and locked on to the lane you are driving in and actively adjusts the steering wheel to keep you in the lane. LKAS is scary wicked cool. I've literally allowed the car to turn and re-correct going 80Mph on the interstate completely hands free.

While LKAS is not designed to be used in this manner, it along with ACC really makes for very comfortable road trips or other long distance driving.

Treblig

The MID is showing 75mph. That is not your current speed according to the speedometer. Is that indicating set speed?

i think that's 75 degrees but i could be wrong...can't really tell.

Nice, pic Holografique. IDK why, but the light on the road from the headlights grabbed my attention first. I've witnessed the Jewel Eyes before in on-coming traffic, but never behind the wheel of the car. They look really bright.

randomRon82

Lol, the MDX lights are bright as hell from on-coming traffic,... I'm assuming the TLX will be similar. I'm wondering the same thing for Holo.... are they noticeably bright from your end, also do you get people flashing their bright lights at you? I still get that with just HID's.

randomRon82

That's funny, it looks like there are two 75's. At the top it looks like one says 75 mph, and underneath there's one that says 75 degrees fahrenheit

randomRon82

I wonder if there was a delay between the time the picture snapped and the time it took for the regular speedometer to climb to 75 mph.... since the digital one would have been instant but the needle would lag a little?...lol who knows. will be interesting to find out.

Acura_Dude

The MDX is the reason I got to see those lights in real life. They're very noticeable and grab your attention, even if you're in traffic and notice a few cars equipped with HIDs.

Add a Type-S and some gun metal 19 or 20 inch wheels and this car is looking good.

I'm still on the fence about the TLX and the color does not matter to me. I just paid my last payment on my 09 37K miles TL. Nary a scratch on it. Still rides and drives like the day I bought it. I'm really missing the chrome exposed tailpipes. If I do purchase a TLX it will be Basque Red Pearl II. It will not leave the dealer lot without the beak painted. Im waiting to see what type of body kit will be available. Can't have my car looking like everyone else. Hopefully there will be some nice optional wheels.

keith7120

Now this picture does the TLX justice! Either those guys are really tall or the TLX is really short! Either way, this probably the first picture that I actually like as far as the production model goes.

Illuminati

Another one, know we've seen the back of it many times. I do like it in white as well though. This car would look so much better with exhaust pipes!!!!!!!

weather

^^ OK, now you have got me excited!! Wonder why!?

Keith7120....The size of the TLX does look small...I remember when we saw pics of the 2013 RDX with the swirly patterns, there was a photo of a guy leaning on the rear of the vehicle and we all thought the RDX was very short, turns out it wasn't the case. Either these guys are giant or something weird is going on. I agree with you though...the smaller the better (for me anyway)

Thanks!

I love the interior of the RLX, just a real grown man car for real.

randomRon82

It is nice... I was at Acura the other day getting a B1, and sitting in the MDX and RLX made me interested in the TLX again...

a35tl

Loving the pics in posts #491 & #504. Mine will be either silver or white but I'm leaning towards silver.

vbx

For some reason, the TLX badge just make the car look / sound cheap.

Acura_Dude

Looks good in white as well. Right, Weather?

Acura_Dude

EDIT: Forgot to multiquote this post.

KeithL

Debadging the TLX is a must.;-)

Timmy18

Please don't kill me.

If I do say so myself, it is icing on the cake.

randomRon82

Hate you

internalaudit

Taillights remind me of the previous gen Lexus IS.

If I ever get a TLX, I might just really replace the grill.

Terragotti

Those exhaust change the whole look but that would be too much like right.

Illuminati

Yes lol, you love cars in white. I love most cars in white as well.

Illuminati

Great work man. I love the exhaust pipes, reminds me of a 3g type s. It gives the car so much character, i think it was silly of Acura to hide their exhaust pipes throughout the car lineup.

Timmy18

^Thanks man they're right off a 3G TL-S. The look right at home!
