I put in an order for a 2022 TLX Type S a few weeks ago. The sales rep from the dealer called me today to tell me that Acura isn't currently making them with the premium wheel package that I had ordered and I need to change my order to the standard wheels or I'd have to cancel my order. Can anybody coroborate this? It was kind of an odd conversation honestly, he was pretty pushy about it.
I placed my order on 10/30/2021 with the premium wheel package. I haven't heard anything about my order changing the wheels to standard from my sales guy.

The lightweight wheels are not really light at all anyway. Find some aftermarket wheels that really are lightweight and be happier in the long term.

Sounds like maybe they ordered it incorrectly, and want you to accept it that way? Or maybe they have one coming-in already, and want you to take that one as is.
I don't think Acura corporate lets them change anything on the car's build-order once it is submitted.
For those of you that actually placed an order back in Oct-Nov. What are you hearing regarding your ETA for Production then delivery?
I put down a deposit on Oct. 13th, 2021 and have been told every month since (including this month) that every attempt to place my order has been cancelled by Honda/Acura. I am now being told to wait until February and they will try again. Pretty frustrating to say the least. I am trying to order a Type S in Apex Blue Pearl, Ebony interior, with the Performance Wheel/Tire Package.

I would be frustrated if I were in your shoes. Are you willing to shop outside of your state? If not, any second pick on the color combo? Good luck on your search, I hope you find the TLX-S you want.
For anyone that is pissed about paying over msrp, it seems like its only getting worse. people are out here paying 60 grand for a GTi. Everyone is going to lose sooo much money on these cars when things straighten out again. Didnt think i’d ever feel lucky for paying MSRP but that is our current reality.
I had ordered my Type S with the performance wheel package but it never came in. I ended up buying the first Apex Blue with Red interior because I knew this was an issue back in August. I purchased the rims from Acura and swapped the all seasons on and I’ve been happy because the rims look so much better. I’m actually glad it worked out this way because I wasn’t looking forward to swapping tires for the winter.
Maybe look at getting the car without the wheels and buy them separately. Then either sell or use the stock rims with winter/all season tires for the cold time of year.

I was very unhappy paying MSRP first time ever, but that was a hard ceiling for me. If after 133 days wait list, to order, to delivery they did an "oh by the way" you need to take this puff-pack or this ADM I was 100% ready to walk out. I know they would have sold the car in 10 minutes at $10K or $20K ADM to the waiting list but I could not take getting that ripped over a car. An MSRP rip was quite enough.
Acura manufactured only 183 TLX in December compared with 1,644 ILX which unless there are different chips used in the ILX is quite shocking.
Until production increases measurably wait times and delays will be the result. There is good demand for the Type S but hardly any production to satisfy it.

I believe ILX is at the end of its run, another 1-2 months left before Acura releases the Integra. So Acura is pushing to finish all the leftovers. TYPE S is really hard to find here in my region. I found one in Ontario with 5,200KM on it and the seller is asking $70K CAD.

Too funny, I watched this video also. I've been in the market and it's nonsensical at this point. I get quotes for my TSX often and they are selling on lots for upwards of $14K with a lot of miles on them and my '09 only has just over 100K now. I am over my TSX at this point and it does need some work (nothing major, though) and I was ready to dump it but will probably just hang on to it for a little while longer.

I am lost with this strategy and think that the TLX may not be hanging around for much longer.

Yes makes sense that Acura is closing out ILX and needs to use up the remaining parts it has and manufacture them but 183 TLX is an unbelievable low amount to produce especially with customers with orders waiting many months !!!
Well looks like I will be canceling my order on my TLX Type-S. This morning I traded in my 2021 STI for a new 2022 Lexus IS500 Launch Edition. I am liking the raw V8 power. Here are some pics:

Congratulations on the new car.... Love the rumble of a V8

Thanks the Lexus ISF (2008-2014) was one of my dream cars. The deal was too good got my IS500 Launch Edition for MSRP plus $40k trade-in for my WRX STI.

Do you have to pre-order and wait for the IS500 to come in ?

Wow, MSRP is a fantastic deal. Where are you located? My local Lexus dealership sold their IS500 LEs with a $10K ADM. I'm still waiting on the non-LEs to start trickling in (I want Ultrasonic Blue Mica). Had an IS-F in my past life, and I'm so glad to see the 2UR V8 is back in the current IS. That motor might be old, but it makes the car worth every penny.
I am located in Michigan & this specific IS500 Launch Edition was ordered for a customer. Saturday for some reason the customer backed out. I immediately went to the Lexus dealer with my STI for appraisal & got it for MSRP.

Great car. Love the IS500, actually took it for a test drive today. Sadly enough, i got used to the wider vehicles so I felt kind of cramped in the IS. That engine is nice tho.

Love the IS500, probably the best looking sports sedan currently on the market. Was hoping for more from the TL-S in the way of looks and performance, so the IS500 will probably be my next car. There is a waiting list for the IS500s and ADMs, so may have to wait until they cool off a bit.

Thanks I got tired of waiting for the TLX Type-S I ordered back in October... Even till today no production date for the Type-S.I figured since I had the opportunity to purchase the IS500 Launch Edition locally at MSRP I had to immediately jump on it since in other states the IS500 have Markups in the thousands $$.

Have to respectfully disagree. Dealerships are NOT out of control. I worked that world many yrs ago. Owned almost 70 vehicles in my life. Hey, I'm old...give me a break!! LOL...
Dealerships are trying to survive!!! My Acura dealership was in the top 10 in the U.S. just about 1.5 yrs ago and before. They now have NO NEW cars on the lot to sell...and it's
getting to the point that emp. will have to be let go. THAT's why some dealers are adding the ADM's. They are trying to get some cash flow to keep the lights on...literally!!
My dealer sells at MSRP only. But, no cars to sell. Can order...but, delays...so, can't tell cust. when they will be built.

I still can't get past the front end and the rear (only seen regular models) is still a let down. Tail lights are not refined and should have never went across entire lid (messy) and no led indicator use to be an Acura blunder. Also lower bumper area on rear looks unfinished.
Still think Type S is a more handsome design and best looking in class, got to respect the V8 power and sound though!
Putting together info from my dealer...new car Mgr. is a good bus. friend.....they are getting 2 Type S builds next month, and over 40 vehicles delivered....all
pre ordered vehicles. The TLX Type S's were ordered last Aug....so IF they get built and or delivered in Feb....then that's about a 6 month wait. Mine is looking
to come out about that also...IF it gets built on the most recent date we got.
Again, not Acura's fault....they are building what they can based on "all the unforeseen issues" that have plagued most manufacturers.
Long wait...and depending on when you ordered and things stay the same for awhile....that could push you close to when 2023's might start ramping up???
Something to think about....I sure am. Hmmm????
This is the norm with buying high end limited-run exotic cars from for example Porsche and Ferrari's. The wait time is 2-3 years. So it is not unusual that by the time the buyer picks up his limited-run Porsche or Ferrari, the dealership is already taking orders for the next generation model that the buyer just bought.
Is there a way to check delivery shipments from manufacturing plant?
Did this for dodge a few years back on shipments on route from assembly in canada,
I also head from the Gm at Acura that they are taking chips from sedans and using them for the mdx type s
Don't doubt that. The MDX Type S's are shipping now to dealers....and my TLX Type S build date changed for the 4th time...moving from Feb. 1..approx. to
mid April!!! 2 1/2 mos. moved ahead...AND that might not be the last update!!
