This is what I've been waiting for. I wanted a better view of the tail lights for the re-design. This car is going to look amazing.. It has the exact tail lights as the Type S concept.

I agree. The proportions seem to look amazing as well. He said it looked like a beast on the road in even camo. He had a good look at the front and said the headlights are narrow and sleek.

Acura connected posted a video on their Instagram story of the TLX driving down the highway. ( I guess it might be the same video, but the link that was posted for Facebook is broken.)

Imagine how it looks with a spoiler! Also if you guys haven't noticed yet, the design seems to be exactly like how the leaked images were from the RDX infotainment leak. The rear door handles go up with the contour just like how the one leak showed.

Acura is on the schedule for the LA Auto Show on November 20th for 40 minutes. I'm thinking this is the TLX debut. They normally don't make their official announcement until 2 weeks before the reveal sometimes.

For Acura's sake I hope it's the MDX. The profit margin and popularity of crossovers is much higher, and those profits are what enables automakers to effectively subsidize niche models (i.e. a TLX Type-S).

There are four lights!
The camo TLX on the pictures above looks like it's already wearing production skin. Have we even seen anything this close with the MDX? I remember seeing pictures of a MDX mule with the the quad exhaust tips but it looked nowhere near production ready.

It's not the MDX. It's already been said the TLX comes out first then the MDX per the Car and Driver article. Plus we haven't even seen the MDX with the least amount of camo as we have with the TLX.

The reality is that I really don’t want a first year model, where the ‘bugs’ and ‘kinks’ haven’t been quite worked out yet. Not to mention that it likely won’t start to lease competitively until it’s second year. I may need to extend my lease a bit until year two hits stores.

Correct. For one reason or another I considered doing that when I had my 16 TLX, with AFS indicating that I just needed to let them know once I drew closer to the termination date.

That's a good point - but part of the reason the TLX isn't selling well is due to the overall climate of sedans not being in demand. A refresh will help - certainly with the car enthusiasts - but may not boost sales all that much in reality. Meanwhile an updated MDX (assuming they get it right) would likely kill it in today's market.

The great thing about the MDX and TLX releases is that they are so close together, it's really not going to matter that much. We are probably talking 3 months apart when they both go on sale. The MDX will be shown at the NY Auto Show in April at the latest.

Actually they have been working out the bugs through the new RDX and ILX releases. If you notice they usually have been updating those cars before their flagship vehicles. They sorted out all bugs for the infotainment system in the RDX and now will roll out the improved versions for the new TLX. They have spent a long time developing the TLX. So much to the point that they had time to design a Type S concept vehicle and make the TLX based on that model! No doubt that this car will be solid from the get-go.

Agreed! At this point it’s a matter of spring and or summer. 2020 is going to be a big year.

Doesn't it make more sense just to buy the car out of the lease at completion of the lease if someone is going to keep it a year beyond the end of the lease? I can understand paying extra to extend for 4-6 months, but does anyone extend beyond that? At that point, I'd want to own the car instead of just continuing to rent. I'm just asking because I haven't done an extension, either, and would have to do so if the Type S is not available at the time of my lease term in June 2020.

So both plan A & B are scrapped. Not sure which way I will jump for plan C which might be just keep the 440.

When you extend your lease the buyout drops down as well so it's a win win..... Also, the depreciation is not as bad anymore so you are actually in a good position to sit and wait on that good deal.
