TLX Type S release thread; prices, trims and availability

Car Crazy for Sure!
Yeah I got one of the last initial slots with the dealer I decided to work with and according to them the build gets sent to Acura in September and arrives in October/November so I have until then to change my mind on colors / etc but they weren't sure if it would be considered MY 22 by then. Ultimately I don't really care enough to cancel my order and get to the back of whatever line they have for the 22's, if I like the car I like the car and one model year difference in depreciation isn't going to be especially noticeable way down the road unless the 22's get some extra goodies but I very highly doubt any changes for 2022, maybe they will prove me wrong and give me a tad bit of buyers remorse but the missing features don't mean much to me as much as I agree with the sentiment that they definitely should've been there. Type S not being Advance + Type S is a real shame but at least it got most of it.
honor what Acura wants them all to do....let folks see and DRIVE the new Type S. How else will folks know IF they want it??? I've owned many Acuras of all kinds. But, for this one, I need to really look it
over and DRIVE it before I write the check. If so...I will load it up with the carbon fiber "goodies"...inside and out and some other Accessories. I'm still trying to figure out what wheels to put on. I don't like
black wheels...or dark ones, so the "optional lightweight wheel/tire package" for $800 is not for me. I'm looking at Vossen. Also, trying to find an Acura wheel....hmmm??....but, that size of 20 x 9 makes it
hard. I'm still trying to find out the "OFFSET" for the Type S wheels. Is it...55 mm?? Does anyone know for sure?
MDX has an optional wheel that is 20 x 9, but, I don't know the offset of it either. IF they are a match...or very close...I MAY put that MDX wheel on it. It's the "gray machined finish wheel" that is std. on the
Tech Model. Not too bad. The dealer will take one and see if it fits the Type S...with proper clearance, etc. Done this before...picking a wheel from another model, but, same sizing.

It will be a MY 2022. I will be on the first order sent in. Driving the '21 soon as it arrives. Was delayed a little. A customer's black/black one arrived first. The show and tell car soon. AND, my dealer will

now it's hard to get the info I need....like the offset for the Type S std. wheel.
The way it normally always works...is that Parts Dept. gets stocked up on items before a new car arrives. The Type S's are arriving now. Which I think the Parts folks
should have the info. I'll call tomorrow and push some buttons.
Other than the offset, the other fitment issues are good to go.

If the dealer does it and scratches....they own it. Hey, I'm a tech/mech from way back and have done tons of mech. jobs. I could easily do the swap,
BUT...could I possibly, accidently cause a scratch...Yes....but, I would take a ton of precautions when doing the job.
I read the installs for the CF on the interior pieces. Damn....dash pieces have to be removed to take off the std pieces where the CF ones go....and the entire door panels
have to come off to put those CF pieces on....not liking all that. It has to be done by someone that has done it more than once...and NOT a novice who is doing it for the
first time. Also, I looked at the lighted door sills for all four doors. Damn, there is a LOT of removal of int. trim and other work to get those in. Sucks. I think they should be pre wired
so that all that has to be done is remove the factory ones, install the lighted ones and plug in to the harness. Hondas used to have the wiring in place if you wanted to add fog lights,
and it was an easy job, basically. Sure wish that Acura gave us the option to order a CF car from the factory!!

asked them to follow this "show, tell, drive program" so they can show it off and get customers excited and the word to spread, etc. My dealer is going to hold their "show/tell/drive" car
for at least 2 wks if not more. I'll get to drive it as soon as it arrives. Got delayed a little. A black/black one came in that they had ordered and it's sold and gone.

I also just got back from a 30 minute test drive. Reviews are spot on, especially the one from savagegeese. Half a second of dead feeling when WOT from a stop, something the S4 does a better job giving you the sink into seat feeling, I don't think it's turbo lag but more '4220 lbs' lag. German leather still remains better than the TLX (especially the one in S4 / M cars). One thing that did surprise me though was the sound, videos don't do it justice. It was louder than my ATLP exhaust on 3GTL!
#610
Out of curiosity, I contacted 5 Acura dealers in 50 mile range. Every one of them wants at least $10K over MSRP, one wanted $15K.
I cannot believe this is real. That is $65K. You can get a fully spec'd out M340 with every option in existence, tack on everything possible that BMW/dealer offers and you'd STILL come under $65K, and that's before any discounts which are widely and readily available. Same goes for S4. And don't even get me started on G70 3.3TT and how well you can spec that car out for $45K.
It is maddening and mind boggling to think someone would pay $65K for this car.

Poor Acura dealers failed miserably with ADM on the new NSX and have had nothing worthy of ADM since the initial run of the 2G NSX. I personally like Acura products but I think the Honda has grossly overestimated this brand's cache. That said, I stil say that Acura is aiming this at CTR owners who want to graduate to the TLX-S. (same folks would probably chomp at the bit over an Odyssey Type R)

I read the install instructions for the spoiler and it's fairly straight fwd. Removing the current one isn't so bad, and then putting the new one in it's place.
If the dealer does it and scratches....they own it. Hey, I'm a tech/mech from way back and have done tons of mech. jobs. I could easily do the swap,
BUT...could I possibly, accidently cause a scratch...Yes....but, I would take a ton of precautions when doing the job.

have to come off to put those CF pieces on....not liking all that. It has to be done by someone that has done it more than once...and NOT a novice who is doing it for the
first time. Also, I looked at the lighted door sills for all four doors. Damn, there is a LOT of removal of int. trim and other work to get those in. Sucks. I think they should be pre wired
so that all that has to be done is remove the factory ones, install the lighted ones and plug in to the harness. Hondas used to have the wiring in place if you wanted to add fog lights,
and it was an easy job, basically. Sure wish that Acura gave us the option to order a CF car from the factory!!

100% though there's going to be a bunch of dealerships with $15k ADMs pre-installing these pieces as a throw-in.

Go f*cking figure that Acura is leaving this up to the dealer techs to do. They'll get paid 3 hours of labor and will do it in 30 min so they can go out by the oil disposal container to smoke cigs and drink red bulls. I wouldn't DARE let them tear up the interior. Every single car I ever had that I allowed dealer to do anything cosmetic was a huge regret. They scratch stuff, damage things, I've had Acura of Morton Grove break off vent and DUCK TAPE it back, I swear to God that happened. Not to mention rattles and creaks they'll cause. I learned long time ago to buy a car and never go back for anything, even for imperfections. They'll make 3 more to fix that 1. I don't care who gets offended by this but 95% of all dealer techs I ever met looked and talked like they took the short bus to school.

it’s the exact color I want. Too bad Acura keeps pushing the actual release date back. I don’t care that each dealership has 1. That’s a demo and doesn’t count. They need to actually produce them and sell them already. I’m hearing no models to actually purchase until end of August possibly September.

Never bought accessories from dealer. Never have, never will. There is a plethora of online websites that sell OEM accessories by part number(s). Dealer mark up on accessories is nuts. For example, I needed a special tire wrench for 2013 Altima. I went on Nissan's website and narrowed it down to a dealer 5 minutes from my house. He had it in stock, ready to go and listed it for $5.80. Their own website, clear cut price. I hop over to the dealer and they charge me $14.77. I showed him his own website and said look, you're selling it for $5.80. I went in with part number, showing in stock, picture, everything, just for him to go pick it up and I'm in and out in 5 min, right? Wrong. Almost 30 minutes...everything is so dramatic and slow. He started to insult my intelligence with his explanation why it's $9 more and I left $15 on the counter and told him go spend it in good health you miserable SOB. They have the price ON THEIR WEBSITE and still want 220% more when you get there. Copy/paste any dealer, any brand, anywhere.

Expect there are still similar pricing schedules that now include internet pricing.
On Nissan - long past my non-personal building days. When we had the 280ZX & Xterra got a lot of parts from Rock Auto.

Hey come on man!!! Its only $2500 more than a new M4 Coupe or if you only need a 4 door about $4,200 more. Such a deal for a high performance Sports Sedan the most powerful Acura sedan yet. You guys want cheese to go with that whine, it takes big bucks to go with big performance?
Really? I think some of these dealers are out of their minds. Maybe they plan on a $10,000 discount to make the buyer think he got a great deal.

It's almost as if dealership don't care about long term brand image and customer loyalty. I guess from their perspective, that kind of stuff really doesn't matter; it's Acura's problem, not their problem. It's never been more clear how misaligned the dealership's motivations and incentives are with the company's motivations and goals. I will not shed a tear if/when we start shifting to a direct-sales model.

It's almost as if dealership don't care about long term brand image and customer loyalty. I guess from their perspective, that kind of stuff really doesn't matter; it's Acura's problem, not their problem. It's never been more clear how misaligned the dealership's motivations and incentives are with the company's motivations and goals. I will not shed a tear if/when we start shifting to a direct-sales model.

LOL. Best part about that is that even the Accessories are marked up! Ceramic Coating AND ZakTek? Is that even possible? Regardless, I bet you're not even getting either ... probably a synthetic sealant that some kid being paid minimum wage is told to slap on there before the sale of the car. Even when these things fall back to sticker price, I wouldn't give those scumbags any business.
And I remember when people argued against me that we wouldn't see crazy mark-ups on these cars. HA!

Probably ceramic coating spray
But hey it has tinted windows with LoJack. What more can you ask for at 74K

I didn't even know LoJack still existed. The cost of the tint job actually isn't too bad, but I'd question the quality of the job and the tint used. Probably some Amazon Basics tint done by the same kid that was applying the Turtle Wax Ceramic Spray. But the rest of the pricing on the options is obscene.
