I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. The dealer in Alhambra tried to impose a 5k markup when the new TLX was introduced. I’m glad I’m not looking to upgrade.

Edit: I mean, I agree no Type S owner will tune or track their car, but there are tons of people who tune their far more expensive Porsches, AMGs, Bimmers and Audis.

The E85 mix works better with an actual 3rd party tune because you can introduce more E85 into the mix. Tunes might or might not happen. Might depend on sales volume for 3rd parties to do the research - of course they will need a test vehicle, you up to lending them one?
Lastly, if a tune does not get the car into the 3 second bracket why bother?

I gave them a deposit for when they can get the color combo that I'm looking for. Fell in love with the apex blue w/ red interior when the latest gen RDX came out. Looking for the same combo on the TLX with the upgraded wheels.

I previously predicted 4.6 to 4.8 seconds. Sofyan at Redline Reviews got 4.73 seconds launching off the shoulder of a public road with an extra 150+ lbs passenger. Not to mention it beat the Audi S4 from a dig, and that does 60 in the low 4's. So it's safe to say the TLX Type S does low-to-mid 4's 0-60.

I see a lot of people "disappointed" in the 4.8 0-60. I'm not. It's faster than my Accord 2.0 with stage 2 tune. It doesn't need to be faster. I'm not out racing it against GT350s or Scat Packs(although that would be fun. Hahahah). So it has a 4.8-4.9 0-60. Cool. Great. What else? Yall know anything it has? Yall seem to be more worried about it's 0-60 than the other features. Lol. I'm not going to be doing 0-60 runs from every light.
Yes. Guys who spend $60k+ on a car mod them. You must not know much about the "tuner" world buddy.
I stated it before. Don't listen to no dealership about pricing or availability. A LOT of them have no clue about either until today. And they still won't know anything until they start actually coming in. Remember. There's a chip shortage going on so that June date might get pushed back.

Honda/Acura rarely give 0-60 estimates, and when they do, they are very conservative. AoA didn't test 0-60 in his typical testing site.

Does 0-60 in 4.73s at about 20:00 mark, and drag race vs Audi S4 starts at about 20:50.

And that's with a passenger in the car, who has to weigh at least a buck 50.

0-60 times always vary due to many different variables, like location (sea level), outside temperature, weather conditions, engine temperature as stupid as the weight of the driver or the driver itself. How deep do we want to go in this to make excuses? So yes, it's comical.

When publications like C&D or MT talk 0-60, they give the quickest time after multiple attempts. And so far, 4.7s (with a passenger) is the quickest time from this press tour.

If I had mid-$50k to spend out the door, I'd probably go for the M340i.

Which is why ideally testing should be done in the same setting, to minimize confound. And in case you're wondering even AoA admitted that his 4.95s is unofficial in his book until he gets to test it in his "home" track. It's in the video...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sa0W0rqL8To

Let me teach you. Over time, more numbers come in and you have a general consensus of what's accurate and a better understanding of what's an outlier. For example, people were worried when MT got a 7.0 sec 0-60 in the TLX 2.0T, but then you realize it's an outlier when publications like AoA, C&D, and Motorweek get 5.7 to 5.9 sec. And so far for the Type S, I've seen 4.7 (with passenger, from Sofyan) and 4.8 quoted (from Carbuzz) on the low end, both of which were not tested on an actual strip (i.e. less than ideal for finding the fastest possible time). Hope this helps!

"The Acura TLX Type S will be available in “limited quantities” and less than 2,000 units will be made for the 2021 model year. As a result, fans will want to contact their dealer and reserve their spot in line."
Ouch!! No lease deals on these, lol.
