My New TLX A-Spec

She finally came in! I have to say, coming from a 2015 TLX this car is really what the TLX should have been when it was first released. The A-Spec package really is a must have when compared to the standard TLX option. I think for me the gloss black compared to the chrome really puts the A-Spec in a class of its own. The driving experience is night and day! I will write a full review after I drive it for a week but lets just get to the pics! I will try and take some better ones this week but wanted to at least get something up. Enjoy!

Congrats, the aspec IMO revived the TLX and to an extent the Acura brand and gave it a breath of fresh air. My ideal aspec would be, black, red or blue in the red leather.

Really just came down to cost. Hands down the A-Spec was first option on the list I had to have, but didnt really feel I needed the AWD for the extra money.

Is the accent lighting on all the time or did you turn on the lights and have the car in the garage?

Not only the way they look but what a difference in driving compared to the 15 TLX. Good luck, hope you like it!

Being that I am on my 8th car from this dealership, I would say I got an amazing deal! Paid less than MSRP!

I am afraid once I go look at one of these in person I'm going to fall even deeper in love. And now you just showed us the led light strips that I had no idea about.

If there was a 6peed I wouldn't mind upgrading whenever my 3G stops doing it for me.

Car looks good. You should post more pics, but from a farther distance. Is that a MB next to your TLX in the garage? Wow.

Working on it. Havent had much free time lately but I plan to do some more photos and a detailed review. Absolutely loving the car!

Not sure what MB stands for but if you are referring to the classic, its my 46 Ford Business Coupe. Here are some pics.

I assumed that classic was a Mercedes Benz (MB), but holy cow your 46 Ford is a beauty.

Starting to prefer the white ASPECS over Still Night Blue the more I see them.

Thanks man, that's our weekend cruiser although I will say its been too damn hot here in So Cal so shes a little jealous of all the attention the A-Spec has been getting lately.

That blue is so sick man, seen one in person. I chose to go with white just because I have always had darker colored cars and I love the white on this car.

If you can wait a few months until December you can likely get the deal you want.

And welcome aboard!

TLX -A Spec

I have the identical car. I have a little over 5000 miles on it and everything is working well. Terrific car and much better than my previous 2015. I have a few scratches on the front wheel. The color is Shark Grey but I do not know where I can get touch-up paint. Any idea?
