Colin... I think so too.

I still look at that wheel pattern and say how can anyone in their right mind could come up with such an atrocity! The good thing I guess, would be that driving a car with such ugly wheel would make me look pretty good in comparison *lol*

Your right, just realized it had fogs. Well I'm not a fan of the 4 cylinder rims lol.

Acurarunner

The LED fogs are only standard with $43k v6 advance package (not tech).
If you see on a 4cyl, they are a dealer installed option...between $500-$600

Colin

TLXthrill would seem to confirm this. The fogs are only listed as standard on the Advance Package.

JM2010 SH-AWD

I really like the looks of the dark-colored SH-AWDs. Now, if only they can see fit to mount the 6MT next year.

The better question is how someone could ok the design for production use.

MuGen7Modulo

Another nice pic.
It's clear that the beak is a "wire" type of design. Also the fender liner is loose lol
Just do the right click and open in new tab/window and then zoom in to see details, pretty cool!

ACCURATEin

OHHHHHH my god. Everyone go to instagram and look at the video acura just posted of the TLX GT on the track.

MuGen7Modulo

Sh***t that thing moves FAST!!!!

ACCURATEin

This is the happiest Acura has made me in a long time. haha

Can't wait to see how it does against the R8s and the McLaren and whatever else is out there.

MuGen7Modulo

A sure thing! Grille looks official, mod time soon!

ACCURATEin

I've probably watched that video clip 30 times now lol.

Who says size doesn't matter? They're actually respectable as a 19" set up.

a35tl

I don't use instagram. Do you have to be a member to be able to watch the video? Is it available elsewhere?

MuGen7Modulo

... and beefy tires!

Terragotti

That race car looks fast as hell in the video, really want to see what it looks like against those germans sports car. Now all they have to do is make a Type S with the twin turbos. sweet

Illuminati

The front of this car has a very nice stance, much better when looking straight on, and at certain side angles than my 4g. Seeing that TLX GT race car gives me hope Acura will offer a Type S/R in the near future.

I really don't understand why Acura had to make the turn signals incandescent and red while the other countries get yellow. If they really want to compete with the Germans they should be LED. It's the little features like those that really add up to being a true luxury car. I'm sure it couldn't cost that much more to make just a yellow LED turn signal strip on the tail lights instead of incandescent bulbs. I also hope the reverse lights are LED but I seriously doubt it.

ACCURATEin

You should get on instagram. It's free to join. Right now that is the only video ive come across of the tlx gt. After this weekend im sure there will be some clips of it from the Pirelli world challenge race in Ohio.

ACCURATEin

Just watched it two more times.


I really should be going to Ohio this weekend.

ReLaX

Ditto. The competition will be tough and has been at it all year while RTR will debut the TLX in its first race. Interested to see how Acura will fair. (off topic: also glad to hear Honda returning to F1 as an engine supplier for McLaren in 2015!)

Rocket_man

If you could black out the thick spokes it would probably look better. Not sure if that is practical.

blacktsxwagon

Acura.com also confirms that fogs are only available on V6 Advance trim. Part of me would like halogen fogs for the base models with LEDs available for the upper trims, but I know that is too complex.

ACCURATEin

Live streaming of the race on Saturday at 11:45 and then sunday at 1:15.

From my dealership today... kinda gives you a comparison of ILX versus TLX...

Treblig

Yep, white it is!

ostrich

LOL randomRon, you ARE an Acura employee, after all!!! ROTFLOL!

Thanks again for the great photos. You know, that white one looks SHARP. I really do not like how that chrome trim in the front bumper looks against the dark body colour. Both silver and white hide that chrome trim well.... LOL!

ostrich

OMG, random, you found me an Espresso interior pic!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!

The Espresso colour does make it look quite luxe, doesn't it!? :-) It even goes with that brown wood trim...

White on Espresso it is.... LOL!

randomRon82

Ha, I hope that's sarcasm :p... "my dealership" meaning where I got my TL and where I get it serviced. They called me yesterday to let me know they got a shipment in. I'll be test driving this morning, I suppose... Although silver is not available yet.

CheeseyPoofs McNut

Will you be posting a review today or will you respect the embargo

ostrich

Hee hee, sarcasm is my specialty.... :-)

Now, silver is not available yet!? Hmm.... so what they have right now are:

- white
- black copper
- graphite

Any other colour please?

I am just happy that they had the Espresso interior! Now, did that come with their black copper car, or???

ostrich

BTW, random, so they have the SH-AWD models already, huh!? Well, so after all, the SH-AWD models are not coming out AFTER the 4 cylinder ones then???

randomRon82

^^ Nope no sh-awd... They just said those will come "later this year" they had white, black, graphite, copper and I think he said he had basque red somewhere.... But they didn't have silver listed anywhere... They think it'll be in the next production phase the one I played in was black copper with an espresso interior. Of the 4 they had ready and out on the lot, none of them had those ugly wheels. Lol, I think they had all v6 advance. I was in an advance.

Strange they tried to subdue the fugly beak for this car but don't on the standard production ones.

Stew4HD

What beak are you referring to? Do you ever have anything good to say about these cars? Just wondering is all.
