Active Noise Cancellation in 2018 Models?
I can find no reference to an Active Noise Cancellation feature in the 2018 models! My 2015 V6 2015 TLX-Tech has this feature. Just ordered a 2018. Will it include ANC?

Thanks! I hope you're right. I'll search again for this info on an Acura blurb. I was a tad apprehensive after reading that many youngsters were unhappy with reduced engine growl with ANC.

I've extensively searched Acura's literature on the 2018 TLX and I've been unable to find any reference to an Automatic Noise Cancellation feature.

Could you indicate where this feature is cited?

Various review articles.

I don't see why Acura would take out a main selling point of the vehicle for the refreshed model.

You're quite correct! I've finally found the reference: Its description has been changed from ANC to Active Sound Control (ASC)! I think the previous description was the better...

May have changed the terminology since the engine growl for the A-Spec comes mainly from the speakers - can't have ANC taking away HP!

Honestly, the average consumer doesn't go "Does this car have ANC?". They get in the car, drive it, and it's quiet or not. The desire is for quiet, not a specific feature.
