Doubtful that Acura is giving them a holdback program to subsidize the losses on these Type S cars.

100% this. The big slap in the face is they had a Teggy TS sitting in their showroom for 72k before TTL. I get that there’s some novelty there right now but I’m betting the same thing will happen to the Integra in three years.

It's kind of interesting that you went from cars like the LS and Avalon (luxobarges) to the TLX, which leans much more to performance than it does luxury/refinement. That's not a switch I would have expected, but I'm glad you like it and have no regrets. Though I must say, it's a shame Honda/Acura killed off the RLX, because based on your past cars and your likes and dislikes, a modern RLX might have been the absolute perfect fit for you.

I love the Type S. Picked it up with 9 miles yesterday. But not sure how it could have gotten caked on the dirt under the hood just sitting on the lot. Seems extreme. Anyone have an theory?--the dealer doesn't.

Caked on dirt
Check behind the brake and gas pedals. Also check the trunk underneath the battery and look for dirt in those areas. That car might’ve been in a flood.

Possibly encountered a dust storm or heavy rainfall while in route to your dealer? A lot of crazy weather happening this summer around the country. I'm pretty confident my dealer would have cleaned this up prior to delivery. I'd ask in a friendly way why your dealer didn't take care of this in the PDI process.
I highly doubt Acura and any reputable Acura dealer would sell you a flood car. You'd have a hell of a lawsuit if they had done so.

I agree that the PDI was not up to snuff here. But it's an entirely different level to go from service negligence to intentionally selling a flood vehicle. The first instance is just bad dealership practice; the latter is fraud, possibly rising to the level of criminal conduct.
