Straight from Acura Press Release Offered in three distinct NSX exclusive colors
The best performing Acura sedan ever gains a healthy dose of tech, materials and craftsmanship from the NSX supercar with the new limited production 2023 TLX Type S PMC Edition, the fifth vehicle handcrafted by the same master technicians who build the NSX Type S at the Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC) in Ohio1. Offered in one of three NSX derived premium colors – Curva Red, 130R White and Long Beach Blue – the limited production run TLX Type S PMC Edition will be available for ordering later this year.
Exterior design elements exclusive to the PMC Edition include Berlina Black paint for the roof, antenna, and door handles, and black-chrome quad exhaust finishers. The NSX-inspired Y-spoke 20-inch lightweight wheels are also painted in a new Copper-finish, a first for an Acura model. Additional exterior enhancements include a carbon fiber decklid lip spoiler, a carbon fiber rear diffuser, lower side sill garnish and gloss-black exterior badging.
Inside, the TLX Type S PMC Edition is further distinguished by carbon fiber interior trim panels, illuminated side sills and premium floor mats with Type S badges and colored accent binding. Vehicles finished in Curva Red paint feature an Ebony interior highlighted by red contrast stitching. Long Beach Blue Pearl is paired with an eye-popping Orchid interior with striking blue stitching while 130R White is paired exclusively with a sporty Red interior. Milano leather seats with Ultrasuede® inserts are standard and an individually numbered serial plaque on the lower console designates the 2023 TLX Type S PMC Edition as a limited-edition vehicle handcrafted at the Performance Manufacturing Center.
Following the hand-assembly process, each TLX Type S PMC Edition receives the same quality control process as NSX, including a dyno check, paint inspection and rough-road simulation. To protect the paint during shipping, PMC Editions are wrapped in a specially designed car cover and transported to Acura dealers via enclosed, single-car carriers.

So my thoughts are what the MSRP is gonna be? I bet it will touch $60k msrp
My guess is only 360 will be made much like the 1G TLX PMC Edition?
Also why a PMC Edition so early in its model's life cycle?
Because the car will be receiving an MMC for the 2024MY that will more than likely be designed by Honda Japan just like the Integra and all Honda/ Acura going forward.
Because the NSX is gone. That place has nothing to work on..... I bet you this edition will include all the missing features that many were asking for. The only problem now is the hike in MSRP and good luck getting one without ADM....
As the forum DH (designated hater) on the 2nd Gen TLX - I have to say, this is totally something I could get into, especially the blue one. Gorgeous (and hand built!)
No Advance options like the past PMC and mostly just pointless cosmetic stuff on a car that is already full of cosmetic stuff? Another fail

I have my doubts, as Acura announced its first EV SUV will be released in 2024 and they have been saying they are going EV for a while now so why would they spend money and resources on a rapidly dying segment and a car that isn't selling very well?

Ok, I take it back, I'm still the DH. I didn't realize this wasn't going to be Advance A-Spec like the 2020 TLX PMC was. Never mind my above comment. And also, if this is $1 over $60K, consider it DOA.
The red and blue look fantastic, and I'm digging those copper wheels...but didn't the previoius PMC cars marry the A-Spec and Advance pacakges? As far as I can tell this is purely cosmetic...

not DOA if its over 60k lmao...you know it will be with those markups.... if anything the HP should've been rated up that would be a game changer plus advanced package.
Very nice! The only gripe is that when a company talks about handbuilding their components for QC, it may give the assumption that their non-handbuilt components have QC issues.
Considering all that it comes with, $60k seems reasonable. Especially for a limited edition trim.
No matter who builds it i bet the puddle lights go out lol.
its nice that they are doing something but honestly almost all of the items are from the regular accessories parts bin. Only Exhaust tips, copper wheels and paint. Im sure it will be very well assembled and has a nice plaque but it would have been a bit more exciting if they offered one of the wild nsx colours like the yellow or orange. We have a white, red and blue already and while im sure the paint will be lovely, none of them are super different to the point you would turn your head and say whats that? The Blue is easily distinguishable from apex, buuutttt, i dont think i prefer it. Im sure they will sell them all , and anyone buying should be proud of it, but so would yellow and orange ones and they would be more special.

There have already been spy shots of the refreshed TLX.
Don't know if it will have all of the Advance features or not but in this photo from Acura's website, it does appear to show a heated steering wheel. However, I do realize that can be added at the dealer and may not come as standard equipment. Does not appear to have HUD though.

It would be very surprising to not include the “Advance package” features with the PMC edition. ALL other PMC editions included the Advance package features.
Guys kill me with their griping. As a limited edition there are easily 300 folks out there that will pay $60K for this vehicle. I understand the desire for more performance, but there’s a subset of the buying public that simply wants something that looks cool. My guess is this will fit the bill for those buyers. The problem is that the ADM will be painful and dealers will be willing to wait it out while using the model as a showroom attraction.

Based on the press release it does not appear this has the advance package. It’s purely cosmetic

Especially considering that Canadian version already includes the surround camera.

Interesting thought. The press release makes reference to the 2023 Type S model year. Could it possibly be that Acura has decided to add the HUD and surround cameras to the 2023 Type S?

Possibly. Honda has added features with the mid cycle refresh with their CTR. I wish I had the 2020 features on my 2019 CTR (2 piece rotors, larger grill, LKAS/ACC, more responsive dampers for a smoother ride for DD usage.)

Seriously?
I thought that was the point of PMC ... to have every option.
That means HUD, 360 surround cameras, (water-proof) power-folding side mirrors, ventilated seats, remote start ... everything.
Painting the whole roof black is nice, but doesn't compensate for anything still missing.
I'm not so concerned about the price as long as it's reasonable, but build the car right Acura. There is no RS/Audi-Sport, AMG, etc version so this PMC is where you do it max-it-out extreme-like.

do you ever have anything positive to contribute or you just a straight troll?
But buying new at $50,000 + and planning to keep it a while ? You really think so ... ever ? What about in this current North American economy?
No doubt there are. Are you arguing that the folks that are paying thousands of dollars over MSRP for certain models are doing so simply for practical purposes? Additionally I think we both can agree that there are modders who spend thousands of addtional dollars on vehicles to stand out from the crowd or in other words to be cool. Upgrading standard wheels on an Aspec from 19" to 20" and buying the associated rubber is typically going to cost upwards of $3,500. Has nothing to do with the current economy. The only thing that counts is how much money or credit a potential buyer has at his/her disposal.
On another note, maybe we should wait for the price to be annouced before we start critiquing whether or not the PMC edition represents a value play or a ripoff.

Canada Acura includes the 360 surround camera with the Type S, the US market did not include it.
Everything else you mentioned that should be added is already included with the Type S, minus the HUD. Just an FYI.
Were you this irked when the 1st gen TLX PMC edition released?
US gets screwed on lots of nice features that are standard in canada, like the ability to unlock the car from exterior rear doors in sedan. My 4G TL got only front handles that can unlock the doors in USA vs canada has it on all 4.
That blue with orchid interior (blue stitching) is stellar. I would love to purchase one but as stated, ADM is going to be nuts from most dealers. Hopefully my local dealer can work something out.

I don’t know why my other response didn’t edit properly.
I just wanted to add the fact that PMC is not a racing trim from Honda. That’s what the Type R is reserved for.
1. Canada Acura includes the 360 surround camera with the Type S, the US market did not include it.
2. Everything else you mentioned that should be added is already included with the Type S, minus the HUD. Just an FYI.
3. Were you this irked when the 1st gen TLX PMC edition released?
1. Weird. Yeah, I'm in the USA, and I shop and buy new US cars.
2. So PMC does NOT mean "all options and features from all trim levels (including Advance) ... got it.
3. Not irked, but trying to understand Acura PMC and equipment/features. Never saw a PMC at my local Texas dealer. I did almost buy a 2020 TLX V6. But it was only FWD (and I wanted SH-AWD) and the Tech looked dated (since it was the same as in our 6-year old MDX-Tech-SHAWD). I did see the

Aw don't get mad at me, get mad at Acura for these moves and all that I do is comment on the facts. But hey so many of you seem to love expensive products that are missing options that $25K base model vehicles have now and will defend every thing they do no matter how boneheaded it is so...

How is it a fail? The last TLX PMC was a much less compelling product yet Acura didn't have any problem selling them. I have absolutely no doubt that they'll easily sell all 360 of these.

My post explained it: it is missing all of the options and is just cosmetic.

Didn't they have to start discounting them due to some just sitting on dealer lots? Mind you today's economy is different and Type-S production has been crap from day 1. Which means ADM will be even worse, 5-10k easily.
The question then becomes, PMC or M340i / S[4/5] / C43 for 60-65k

For that pricing, I’d definitely get a CT5V BW. But keep in mind that limited edition cars have very good residual value which helps negates the price hike. After 3 years, my CTR is worth a whole lot more than what I paid for it.

Cadillac's usually do not have good resale values. And today's resale values are extremely overinflated for every car. I wouldn't factor that in when buying a car, only contract price today and features received.
