I talked to my sales woman about it at our company's Acura dealer but she don't know anything more than what the press release revealed. Im sure they'll get one but Im interested to see if someone will trade their Type-S in for a Type-S PMC in my area and if that's the case I will be on the lookout to see if a TEP (Tiger Eye Pearl) or PRP (Performance Red Pearl) gets traded in.

Damn Krylon If only you could have sued her for diminished value.... yeah its crazy I wouldn't trade in my Type-S either If I had one but for those who are gonna trade one S for a PMC-S I will be on lookout to pickup where they left off in the base Type-S

PMC is neat and all but it's not worth the mark up. These end up sitting in showrooms to collect dust. These newer ones may sell better only because of limited supply and people wanting a Type S.

Why the hell is everyone here a street racer now a days?
#130
Because they couldn’t make it on the track. 🤣. It’s funny to see so many automatic drivers care so much about drag racing.

I absolutely hate street racing, especially when you have someone losing control right in front of you and your family that’s commuting.

And admittedly @KrylonBlue likes to speed so I think yall have your answer.

I wasn't bashing any Acura commercials. I actually like them ... those pretty Acuras racing around. But the question was "why is everyone obsessed with street-racing". Well, I think it's because Acura has chosen to associate it with the brand.

Bye’s not wrong, we have some real tryhard red light racers here who think everyone buys a car to be faster than the person next to them. The proof is in the TLX vs competition thread. We have one member talking about how fast his car is with a JB4 that’s not even in the same segment when nobody even asked him and another who claims his stock A5 can so 0-60 in 2 seconds.
I haven’t seen a group this obsessed with numbers from magazines since high school.
Wanted to also point out, speeding is not street racing. There’s a reason they differ in penalties for each.

There is a big difference between spirited driving and going with traffic flow and that of street racing.

agreed! Acura knew that Stinger has a limited life span, so they are giving an opportunity to Stinger owners to see some beautiful Colors before The coffin is buried! As we all know after 4-5 years, those stingers won’t be on the road. Acura’s act of kindness 😉

Well on track with the topic, Acura showcased the first TLX Type-S PMC edition at the Monterey Show
TLX-S PMC Edition in the NSX’s “Curva Red” color w/ Bronze Y-Spoke Rims

It that the right red color or just a lame camera-phone pic? It is gonna be RED or orange ?
#143
Well it is missing the front Advance camera. So I guess this will be the first PMC without Advance trim features.
For better shots of the color, google "Curva Red NSX".

I’m not feeling the bronze wheels on red paint. Would look better in blue or black.
Also not liking the blakc door handles. Reminds me of the black colored door handles you would find on the old base DX models.

Agreed on everything. Honestly, I don't see that much of a difference compared to the "regular" red, though it might be more apparent side-by-side. It doesn't really make sense to get the white one either IMO. The only color I'd go for if I were to go with a PMC TLX-S would be the blue. But those bronze wheels are so gaudy and out of place looking to me. The black door handles (and completely black side mirrors) make the car look unfinished. Acura did a heckuva job with the 2022 RDX PMC ... this one, eh, not so much.

The bronze looks pretty nice, a touch more gold and it would be Ferrari inspired! If I could buy a PMC advance they'd have my deposit!
#151
Blue looks pretty good. Ofc if they made it an Type-S Advance, I would consider talking to my dealer about trading in my Tiger Eye Pearl TLX. I might just make do with exterior mods to get it close to PMC but I don't really wanna stomach the asking price for the Carbon Fiber stuff.

Wait, the PMC is not like the previous ones. A-SPEC Advance? I am actually very disappointed. Then what's the point of PMC here?

I'm honestly still not sure why the Advance features didn't make it to the TLX Type-S in the USA. I would've gladly paid a bit more to get the Advance features on my Type-S. Fortunately for Canadians it doesn't seem to be a problem.

Other than giving the workers at the PMC something to do with the NSX retiring, not sure lol

I'm personally really disappointed that the Type S PMC edition lacks Advance features. I simply don't understand Acura's product planning in this regard. There is a subset of TLX buyers, myself included, who'd be really interested. The PMC colors ook good, though. Given the relatively light additional feature content, I hope the pricing is not much higher.

The car falls short with those ugly rims and black door handles. I much prefer the original color for the Y-Spoke.

The PMC Edition fixes the wrongs of not including side/rear body skirts which should have always been included given the body lines created with the front splitter.

I’m also disappointed that the surround cam wasn’t added, but overall I like the look. Tint the windows and it will pop. It’s really going to come down to how much the premium is over the standard Type S. My guess is $3,500 which if you were inclined to dress up a standard Type S probably would represent a good deal for the uniqueness of the package. The blue with the orchid interior is pure fire.
