What if the 2G TLX PMC was the last build year 🤔?

Type-S has never been a full cycle Trim. Would it add value or be foolish to discontinue? What if they allocated to 3.0t to a RDX Type-S? Would they be able to build them fast enough or should the Sedan Type-S be a PMC moving forward 🤔

It's already very expensive for what you get. Personally, I think they might as well just go ahead and add the Hud and Surround Cameras and call it done. I also think they need a least one large (or close to large) sedan.

The Acura sales teams often have yearly meetings that are leaked. That will reveal their plans for the next few years if you really want to know.

The TLX is large, minus the cramped backseat. Given overall performance except 1/4 mile straight line and amenities I don't agree that it's overly expensive. I think a HP jump is needed, but doubt it will be offered.

I don't know much about sales meetings. Is there a zoom link lol.

1. Right, so keep it in the line-up.
2. That's what I mean
3. Agreed
4. Wish I could edit. I mis-posted ... meant to just say "expensive" not "very expensive". Note to self "don't post after you've been celebrating for New Years".

PS. I like your car. It's not for me, but it's still sounds nice.

An RDX Type S would sell like hotcakes. It’s already a great car in its class, but it’s absent in the medium-performance segment where most of the Europeans have something. I’d be first in like for one.

It’s not overly expensive but the 2023 MSRP compared to 2021 MSRP for the Type-S is a $4k-$5k difference. Seems abit steep now considering nothing of value seems to have been added to the Type-S or TLX in general for the msrp hikes since the 2021 model year, besides omitting trim levels from the model such as not being able to get a Tech or a Base TLX in SH-AWD trim anymore. The only thing added of value so far is the complimentary maintenance package that comes with the purchase of 2023 TLX models.

2023 TLX-S price is dangerously close to $60k msrp since the cheapest 2023 TLX-S that can be had costs $56,445 before taxes and fees and that’s if you’re cool with having Modern Steel Metallic Gray. Any other color brings the cost to $56,945 so $57k add in taxes and fees and you’re now over $60k out-the-door

So in 2021, it was a great buy at ~$53k, now at $56k-$57k it’s abit steep.

Though I do keep in mind other manufacturers with similar models in the segment are also raising their MSRPs so in the grand scheme of things I could say the TLX-S is still a good buy I suppose.
