Spotted the TLX on the FWY!
To start off, I live in South Cali and seeing camouflage cars is fairly common for me as we have local Nissan, Acura, Toyota, Kia, etc., etc buildings...
Well today was my lucky day! On my way home, I spotted a TLX as I was zooming pass it for my exit. How do I knew it was a TLX? The grill and headlights! At the moment I recognize what I had, I immediately press the brakes to slow the effff up and got behind it. I took a video with my work iPhone (4S) as my stupid iPhone5 decided to be b!tch and restart. I will post video which i slow down to be able to see it a bit more, its crappy but nevertheless captures the moment. I skip my exit for the next and well he exited behind me, at that moment I had stop recording. :annoyed: My impressions, looks way smaller (yes i know its few inches smaller). The headlights was a big :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: Too bad I just got my 12' TL Sh-Awd. Will post the link to youtube once the video uploads. |

Thanks! Looks like the same car they caught on the motortrend website.
|
more likely ... irvine is down south on the 405 traveling north & exiting towards LAX.
|
:thumbsup: Hard to make out whether or not it had the prototype's rear "light tubes". Could you tell?
|
were the rear turn signals red?
|
So now in south Cali everyone is looking for a white car with duct tape all over it :)
|
probably just a mule, im pretty sure the real one will look closer to the prototype ... or maybe im lying to myself?

Earthquake....just kidding. Thanks for the post. Can't wait to see production without tape all over.
|
OP...thanks for the post! My question is the following: Why didn't do the pit maneuver and force it off the road and take a gazillion pictures and videos for us *LMAO*
JUST KIDDING....before people attack me of being aggressive and promoting violent behavior :) |
Hey Pearl,
Do you recall seeing any resemblance to an exhaust system? Earlier roomers and sightings claim that the exhaust tips were pointing downwards. Really hoping to see exhaust tips. That could be a deal breaker for some. |

it had light tubes - reminded me of the lexus IS "light tubes" for some reason. I muted the video as at the end I said "well there you go, the new Lexus" LOL. It may not be the same once all that camouflage comes out.

That could be a deal breaker for some. One thing i could tell, which is why i knew what car it was, the grill was very smilar to the 12+ TL. and again sorry for the extremely shaky video, i panicked as I couldnt get my personal phone to work right and had to rush in getting my work phone to record. |

I think the exhaust will be similar to the RLX, as the dual exhaust quad tips point downward. I saw an RLX today up close in the service shop and looked under the rear bumper, people were wondering what I was doing. Its visible by bending over slightly
|
I'm not saying I've ever touched LSD but if I did I'm sure they'd look just like the video.

yes they where.

i truly wished there was daylight and rush hour to be stuck next to it and capture better video.
|
Thanks, OP.
I just can't believe they did incandescent blinkers on the rear....AGAIN. Why not throw some LEDs for the signals??? |

Mule implies that it's dressed up in another car's sheet metal. This doesnt even look like any current Acura at the moment. |
Thanks for the post, but were you nervous as shit when you captured this video?

It is part of the new TLX stealth technology. It generates a kinetic field around it so you can't take any spy photos.
