If anyone can get his/her hand on one, the TLX Type-S owner get the exclusivity of limited availability not unlike high-end or exotic cars costing many folds as much. And for merely $66K Cdn, what a good deal.

 

Yaaa, I definitely don't see a lot here in Vancouver. But whenever I see one, I just go "wow damn" lol. It's such a good looking car!

 

Acura nailed the styling, for sure. It looks mean and sporty. I love it. But where I think it likely falls short is the power/weight, as well as the fun to drive factor compared to the competition. At least that's what I've read about it in reviews.

And a TLX Type-S is not $48k USD. It's $57k plus $1,195 destination and handling.

 

Ya the power to weight ratio is simply worse in class, though the facelift, despite having the same power ratings, is noticeably quicker in the straight than before. That might probably be due to more mileage on the car being the test was done though. Recent Honda's seems to get faster as you pile more mileage on them - more so than other brands. Another con is its mpg, it's horrible - probably due to its weight and SH-AWD.

But the driving fun factor is right up there. I think if you compare it to the M340i, then yea the TLX-S falls short. But then so is everything else is this class.

I feel like the TLX-S gets enough good reviews for its driving fun.

"the 2024 Acura TLX Type S remains an excellent and engaging sports sedan that represents a tremendous value. " - Car and Driver

"Everything looks good on paper, and the TLX is genuinely fun to drive on canyon roads" - Motor Trend

"The Acura TLX Type S is a compelling alternative to traditional sport luxury sedans. It's fun to drive and priced below most other rivals. The TLX feel more like a rear-wheel-drive car when driving down a twisty bit of road." - Edmunds

"Driving the TLX Type S will put a smile on the face of anyone who actually likes driving. Let’s start with the steering, though, because that’s my favorite part. It’s sharp, direct, and weighted properly so that it has great on-center feel. Combine that with excellent, albeit firm, suspension damping, and a well-screwed-together chassis, and the TLX will dance with the best of them. All of the TLX’s competitors are rear-wheel drive-based and they’re all more playful at the limit because of it. However, if you’re not trying to be a hoon and you just want to carve up some corners, the TLX Type S is a weapon." - The Drive

"The Acura TLX Type S was also a lot more fun on a twisty road than I remember. My tester’s summer tires – Pirelli P Zeros – gripped the road with tenacity, a surprise given my middling experiences with this brand of tire in the past, and the Type S’ cornering attitude was far more neutral than that of its larger MDX equivalent. I could even coax some gentle lift-throttle oversteer if I was really pushing it, a sensation I thought was wholly at odds with a modern Acura. The snarling exhaust note and responsive throttle only added to the fun." - Motor 1

About the only one that is not so happy with how the car drives is Road and Track. Their article is all about how the TLX-S does against the Integra Type S though, so it's kinda understandable why the TLX-S was not rated that well by Road and Track.

 

Last I checked, Legend2TL still thinks the TLX is a RWD-biased car (it's not)!

 

Show where did I state that on AZ? Otherwise you're a liar/fraud

 

+1 well written. The 6G TLX gets alot of positive reviews for the SH-AWD system and it's major negative is it's overweight. Had the front overhand been shortened to standard FWD overhang with short wheel arch to front door, I wonder how much mass coulda been saved.

 

Apologies, as I misremembered. You merely stood by while richii0207, Edward'TLS, and others continued posting misinformation (isn't one of the moderators' job to stop this from happening?...and from an Engineer no less)! Your big contribution was correcting my "100%" to "90%" (big whoop, my point was still valid).

The discussion started here:

I didn't make it up. It was Acura which stated that up to 70% of torque can be sent to the rear axle. The TLX SH-AWD system is capable of being rear-biased when the torque split ratio of front to rear is 30:70. I guess Acura knows more about the cars it designed and manufactured than any outsiders such as you and me.

 

Like I said many times in the 6G TLX sub-forum that the mods there have been very forgiving and extremely accommodating to Acura haters and 6G TLX haters (especially those who don't own any Acura) who continued to poison the sub-forum. The mods deserve our respect. We should give credit where credit is due.

In comparison, in this Automotive News sub-forum, any offender is given a boot in no time.

 

90% of the torque can also be sent to the front axle, so why is it not front-biased, especially since it defaults to 90:10 until it needs to switch to (up to) 30:70?

The answer is because Acura Marketing is full of shit sometimes (a lot of the time?)

 

You have nowhere to stand on w/this argument! Legend2TL literally took 2 minutes to call me a liar and respond that he never said the TLX was a RWD-bias car!

So let me get this straight: you would ignore the verbiage of well-respected auto journalists like Savage Geese, Edmunds, The Drive, etc. over the gamesmanship put out by the Acura marketing dept (some of whose Millennial/Gen Z members are younger than the auto journalists have been at it)?
Now I understand why some members stay in AZ. They would be completely ridiculed in other forums where common knowledge is expected!

 

AFAIK, Acura marketing have never stated the SH-AWD is a RWD based drivetrain, they've been very open in explaining how the power and torque are distributed for the four wheels. Also anyone with a little auto knowledge understands that the mechanical SH-AWD system has evolved over time but it primarily has used differential modulation of the torque and rotation speed using wet clutch packs that are pressure forced with electromagnets using PWM control. None of this is secret IP or hidden away, in addition the rear ring/pinion gear doe not have a open differential hence it's a locked gear set for both axles which turn at the same time and any slippage is due to the clutches.

However more recent SH-AWD systems use overspeed planetary gears on the rear diff input shaft and each rear wheel output shaft. This allows both rear tires to have a overspeed condition (IIRC ~2%) that makes it fell like RWD through corners and allows the outer rear wheel to also overspeed. This allows better torque management through turns. As cool as this system is with all it's H/W, S/W and sensors a wet slip clutch arrangement is not for longevity (slipping clutches under constant use would wear the clutch friction material away) hence under normal driving (even under continuous AWD mode) the primary amount of torque goes through the front wheels. Other manufacturers solved the full-time AWD problem differently, VW/Audi used viscous clutch packs for central and rear differentials.

Why some people continue to inundate that Acura or AZ members tried to claim it was a RWD based is beyond me. AFAIK, the mass majority of the TLX 6G postings understood that, here are some good references.

+1 Legend2TL.

Not sure what's happening in other sub-forums but I think the idea is that the SH-AWD equipped cars are capable of being rear-biased. That's not to say these cars are RWD-bias cars. I think these are two different things but we also don't have to be going at each other for something like this.

 

That's like the Integra hahaha...and I thought that car looks really nice in Type S form, even without that FR look.

 

It seems like a bit of gamesmanship for them to say the car is rear-biased just because it can (when it’s called for) shunt up to 70% of torque to the rear. In that same vein, one could argue that the car could also be left-biased or right-biased because it can direct 100% of that torque to other wheel.

For that matter, doesn’t bias in this case mean tendency or default? And in this case, the car defaults to a 90:10 split unless it needs to send power to the rear (or left or right). Or alternatively, BMW’s xDrive system defaults to 40:60 split, but can send 100% of the power to either axle. So, since it can send 100% to the front, does that make it front-biased?

I guess perhaps Acura is implying that the car is rear-biased when driven aggressively enough to send power to the back, though I suppose that’s a bit difficult to wordsmith into marketing materials.

 

Bravo, Legend! Thank you for making everyone a little smarter today!

 

The key word is CAPABLE. By allowing the front to rear torque split to achieve 30:70 ratio, the SH-AWD system is CAPABLE of behaving as a rear-biased AWD system. But by no means does that transform the FWD-chassis-based SH-AWD TLX into a RWD sport car.

Honda/Acura vehicles are renowned to have good handling capability. The latest Acura SH-AWD is a technology marvel because no other FWD-vehicle automaker is able to tune its FWD-chassis-based AWD system to exceed 50% rear torque split on its production vehicles. Being unable to exceed 50% rear torque split ratio mark, the AWD vehicles are permanently stuck at front biased at all times.

Likewise, since BMW's xDrive is CAPABLE of send 100% to the front axle, its RWD-chassis-based AWD vehicles can also be said as CAPABLE of being front biased. Front biased mode is especially beneficial in adverse driving conditions such as snow/ice/mud/gravel/etc for RWD vehicles from being get stuck. It is a no-brainer.

However, RWD is always associated with high power performance sport cars, and rightly so, because physics dictates a finite horsepower/torque limit for FWD before vehicle handling starts to deteriorate. So it is the holy grail that all automakers (even FWD vehicle automakers) are working hard towards.

 

Are we really arguing about the AWD system on a slow, overweight, longitudinal engine'd vehicle?

 

Yeah, not sure why folks are bringing up SH-AWD debate in 2024. The whole power distribution debate was popular several years ago in the 6G TL forum. Acura did it's marketing due diligence and presented their SH-AWD power management during dynamic situations which is were it is felt.

You obviously have the joy of experiencing the electronic/electric version of SH-AWD which goes well beyond the mechanical/electronic, must be nice to be you

Gotta reply to your Corvette C8 comments, as usual you have very technical analysis of the C8 and it's competition.


Saw a ITR at cars n coffee a few weeks ago. Agree it does look nice in person.

Acura presented the SH-AWD solution as improving the driving dynamics in handling and acceleration which according to reviews does achieve those goals. Is it a perfect solution, no but it's an impressive compromise which provides great handling while reusing Honda drivetrain parts. SavageGeese has talked about it and demonstrated it in operation when they've tested the Type-S. Still baffling why some are still hung up on wordsmith minuscule, it works very well by reviewer in handling dynamics. It's one of the positives of the Acura engineering that continues on, it's been one of their differentials from Honda (although the latest Pilot does rename it).

Yeah, kinda baffling as some are still living in in several year old threads. FIFY on the longitudal engine, it's a transverse engine FWIW.

Long in the past but still wonder how much Acura's path would have changed had their late 2000's RWD plan gone forward

 

Transverse, longitudinal...tomato, potato

Wow, 1000 ZDX sales is a lot more than I was expecting to see.

TLX sales are right about where I expected. It's circling the drain at this point

 

Maybe: Is The Acura TLX Going Away? - CarsDirect

 

Who are the 5400 people they convinced to buy a Prologue?

 

Tesla haters.

 

There are plenty of non-Telsa options that are better.

 

I think 4:1 for recent MDX vs ZDX buyers aligns with the ratio of new-owner posts I see on this forum, so 1000 units seems about right. At the end of the day they are going to sell every ZDX they make, the question is how much incentive it will take to make that happen.
