Anybody seen or know a more solid release date for Type S?
Spring 2021 is pretty broad. Anybody in the know or heard any rumors on a more precise launch date for the Type S?

The launch is delayed because they’re busy reading Acurazine to see if they really should include HUD, heated rear seats, and 360° camera on the Type S!

actually just turned 35 myself haha.
really? How reliable is your source? Just curious as Acura still says spring. Some thread around here I read someone was told as early as January by some dealer. Not sure if that was just a seller trying to sell a reserve or what though.

Yea, that was just some lowly sales manager who likely knows less than nothing. Worst part about this industry is the majority of people talk out of their ass to appear knowledgeable/insightful. I'd bank on late Spring/early Summer with the Covid delays ... if at all, depending on if the new TLX sales are terrible.

Only time will tell really. I think the first launch is staggered mainly to give it its own release date to build up as much attention as possible, rather than getting watered down by the release of the other 2G TLX models, or maybe vice versa. It very well could just be released as a '22 model once the standard ones come out six or so months later.

Oh well, even if they put those features in, people will still go for the M340i, C43, or S4 if the prices are in the same general ballpark. They still need to do a lot more to improve their brand positioning.

I hope and pray you're both right, I've been waiting too long for Acura to make a return... Anxious to throw my money at em if its 400+. Even if it's still slightly slower than the M340i, I'd have more confidence owning this long term!

It's possible, but doubtful. As discussed before, the Germans underrate their numbers. Acura might have very well underrated their numbers. Only way to know, is to put the TLX on rollers. Judging by the way the base TLX drives, I'd be more concern if it behaves the same for the type-s. Only time will tell.

At this point, I don’t even care if the engine makes more power. The thing could have 500hp, but if they don’t improve the transmission responsiveness it’ll still be a letdown.

that’s what I’m worried about will be the slow response to downshift and slow response for turbo boost. I’m hoping being a v6 and larger turbo that’s all mitigated.

Watched a few YouTube reviews and I can’t remember which channel said it, but they said they can’t wait for the type s to hit in February. It wasn’t a small channel, it’s well known just can’t remember which channel it was. So I’m wondering do they know something or just more speculation. They didn’t seem to question it, more of a direct statement.

Even though Acura clearly does a lot of boneheaded things, I can't see anyone releasing a performance car in the dead of winter and right after the holidays (with the added bonus of being in a pandemic).
My prediction is it will be delayed until next fall as a 2022 release with the hyperbole being, "We decided to take some extra time to make this really something special." The sales of the new TLX will be underwhelming and they will need something to hype them up again by then.

if I purchase I’m trying to decide between modern steel with red interior or red exterior with ebony interior and red stitching. I need to see the red interior actually in person to see it firsthand.

To me, it makes sense. There are already a few type S's that have been flaunted around at the various events and they have really started airing that awesome commercial.

Yeah that was me that was told January 2021. The trainer told them that. So either the salesman didn't hear him correctly or the trainer was incorrect. Time will tell! Also, the guy that sold us the rdx back in 2018(same dealer) told us the TLX type S would be out in 2021, which at the time i didn't want to believe him because that was too late in my opinion, but he was right! 2021 it will be.

It's pretty nice, but I like the 1-minute drone-commercial better. I think it quickly "captures peoples attention" and piques their curiosity.

Just some food for thought, dealers are still charging $2-10k mark-ups on Civic Type-R's. The Honduh community is a bunch of asinine mouth-droolers who shit their diapers if you speak ill of their beloved brand. With the amount of bootlickers shrieking about the return of the Type-S nameplate, and how even your local pimply-faced, flat-brim hat wearing dud-for-brains can (barely) afford lease payments on $50k cars ... be ready to pay hefty mark-ups if you want a Type-S as well. TLX sales bombed? Outgunned by every car in its segment? Don't matter. $65k for the Type S, please ... plus TTL of course. That's within throwing distance of an M3 ... but those girlles. Those grillesssss.
Don't believe me? Simply peruse YouTube briefly to see how delusional these fuckboy Honda morons are. I mean, every community has theirs, it just seems Honda leads since so many shit-for-brains can buy a Civic for cheap and throw a fart can on and think that their car being loud = being fast. Then they roll up in a Civic Type-R designed to appeal to 12yr olds and they're a god amongst children in the Honda community ... which is why the dealers are able to rape these idiots for over MSRP. Can you imagine what these people will think if they can get their hands on a Type-S?! They're probably already saving up their allowances.

To be fair, a lot of shaky and fly-by action shots without showing too much of the car steadily for very long until the end. They basically did the same thing when showing the shots of the front of the G80 M3:
Though, seeing some shots of the Type-S stationary, it's a great looking car. I'm assuming Acura did this to make it seem like more of a performance machine than it actually is, rather than to hide any glaring cosmetic downfalls like in BMW's case.

Edit: All those comparison charts they keep putting out where they pit the TLX against European competition are probably designed to stroke the ego of loyal customers, nothing more.

People are paying $600-$800 per month to lease a Base 2021 TLX. The Type S is going to cost people close to $1000 a month to lease and I will LMAO at people paying it only to get their doors blown off by every other competitor in the market.
Ok so you get a base TLX because you want comfort and don’t care about performance . However the only reason to spend more for a TLX is because you’re into performance right? If that’s the case who in their right mind will spend over 60k for less performance than every car it competes against!?!?!?
