TLX Type S release thread; prices, trims and availability

Burning Brakes
The 2022 G70 pretty much has all the features I am looking for (HUD, surround view camera, partial digital gauge cluster, and even a touchscreen display). Unfortunately, Genesis is not really offering any incentives on their 2022 cars at the moment. In addition, I would have to pay Acura over $4K if I turn in my lease due to mileage overage and the turn-in fee, so I am very much limited to sticking with Acura for now.

The 4 cylinder has no room for a pano roof either. The fuel econ is already quite bad against the rest of the compact competition. I don't see a pano roof entering the conversation unless there is a significant upgrade in both the 4 and 6 cylinder engines.

If they want to keep bringing up the "precision crafted performance" part, they really need to tech it up by going full force into more aluminum or starting to use carbon fiber for structure. Not saying to turn a 50k sedan into 75k, but weight is clearly becoming a factor if they don't budge on engine changes. Partnering with GM for electrical stuff also means no hydride help anytime soon.
Making the A-spec/Type-S package a little more expensive but including weight saving changes might be something people are interested in. Now don't make it an expensive option like the 25k carbon on NSX, no one will want it.

They were delayed. And he MIGHT get one or two of a few he was able to order. So, for his dist. the time frames to order have been pushed forward.

flooded out...and probably totaled. That's what I put up with year after year in my area. Luckily I've avoided being out during severe storms with hail...and virtually every storm
we have has hail....being retired helps...so I don't have to be out when it's bad.

Thanks for the advice. It sounds like a great idea in practice. In my case, I would have to sell some stock which would incur capital gains and income tax penalties in order to pay off the lease and own the car. I would have to see if it would be worth the financial penalty.

Contacted my dealer in WA today and placed my deposit.
- 5 floor models + a demo unit coming early July, and 4 of which have been presold
- The performance tire/wheel package is currently not available to order from Acura with no ETA either, he said expect to see this in August with a build time of 8-12 weeks but no promises either
- Expected to sell at MSRP, only MDX's are seeing markups here from demand

This would suck seeing that's what I ordered when I put my deposit down back in Mid-April.

Dealer in suburban Chicago has 10 on order, 5 pre-ordered. They don't know the color combos (according to them) so the current holders get first right of refusal. I don't think he said they'll be marked up, but not likely marked down.

I keep hearing mixed things about mark up. Type S has been made here in the states multiple years. I don't see them marking it up. A lot of people ask sales people that didn't even know when the car would be coming in. I wouldn't even ask the dealer about mark up until the vehicle is actually there. Don't want to put the idea in no ones head that wasn't thinking about it before.

Dealers will be dealers... My local honda dealer has 2 Civic Type-R's with a 15K market adjustment add on.

Ordered Type S back on 4/16 with HPT package. Just got text from dealer. "You are in August Production."
Confirms what we've heard. HPT packages will be built beginning in August. Hate that I have longer but really want the Y spokes.

congrats man! August will be here before you know it.
#346
Very true but I hate having to wait even longer. I don't understand why honestly. Every Type S out there for the media, etc... has the Y spokes. Why not produce them from the start?
I did ask the dealer is my MY will be 2021 or 2022. No response.

August production = August delivery, or August production = Sept delivery ?

It's incredible how some will be picking up there cars in August and then the '22 models come out the next month?!! I don't think I buy that, especially because of the semiconductor shortage.

In the "Canada Type-S" thread, a member said that since the local dealership he ordered from was only allocated 2-3 units of 2021 TLX Type-S, so the dealership put in his order as a 2022 TLX Type-S.

I personally would wait for a 2022 model. Nothing like paying full sticker to only have last years model 45 days later. Chances are by waiting you will pay less for the 2022 model year and if they haven't sold out all their 2021's those will be discounted even more. Seems a win/win for just waiting another couple months. Heck I held onto my original type S for many extra years waiting for a new type S to be released. I get wanting to get your hands on it fast but waiting what amounts to maybe a couple months for a 2022 model seems well worth the delay. Plus you get to see if any odd problems crop up when people finally start driving the car on a daily basis. Not sure I have even seen a gen 2 TLX on the roads in my parts but the dealers lot was loaded with them.

this is all also under the assumption the model 22 year will be in “September” especially with the semi conductor shortage. September could always be the standard and Aspec models and the type s could always be a summer release meaning the ‘22 type s could be next June. Acura hasnt announced or stated as far as I’ve seen that the type s going forward will always release along side the standard models going forward.

Got off the phone with one of the other dealers in the area (not the one with my preorder). FWIW, they said 1300 available for MY2021. 2022 will be out in Sept/Oct.
Demo unit coming in 2 weeks with 2 others available for sale. Aren't able to pick colors from the factory, only able to switch with other dealers.
He also mentioned that Acura originally intended for Type S to account for 25% of sales.

I'm just annoyed with the idea that dealers might not be able to order what they (customers) want. Judging by what's currently on the lot (mostly white, black, gray), it might be hard for those of us wanting a different color.

I used a different email address to inquire with those two dealers again a few weeks later to see if their stories were the same but both mentioned all cars are sold, I don't think there is / was CTR type hype behind it but clearly it had a lot of buyers ready to go the moment it became available and some are happily paying markup apparently unless they managed to get the one dealer to fold.
