$50k is probably not the fully loaded one either.

2.4L FWD ($31k)
2.4L FWD Tech ($35k)
3.5L FWD ($38k)
3.5L FWD Tech ($42k)
3.5L FWD Advance ($46k)
3.5L AWD Tech ($46k)
3.5L AWD Advance ($50k)
2.4L FWD ($31k)
2.4L FWD Tech ($35k)
3.5L FWD ($38k)
3.5L FWD Tech ($42k)

Please, just post the link.
And did they release any numbers for the cars yet?
All we have is leaked pictures, no?

6G TLX-S
Acura must really be in a big hurry to push it's products to go upmarket.
Will it put off potential TLX buyers the same way as the unreasonably hefty price tag put off all those potential RLX buyers ?

It'll sell below invoice in six months anyways. You could probably snag one up for around 46k + ttl

Well, I can't deny the fact that TLX looks $5k more expensive than the Beak mobiles. So, I won't complain. Just want the car to drive well and not be too heavy.

The sizzle in the Steak
They are not going to sell very many at $50k.

Considering the TLX will be roomier and have more tech than the TSX, I'm thinking it'll start at around $33K.... maybe $32K (gives it a small price overlap between it and ILX) and will top out at around $50K (gives it a small price overlap between it and the RLX).
If it's priced at or just under the most expensive ILX, buyers can decide to either buy the ILX or a base TLX. On the other end, buyers can decide to buy a loaded TLX for $50K or save a little and buy a base RLX.
If a loaded TLX is at or under $45K, then a buyer would be absolutely crazy (IMO) to choose a base RLX over it... even with the $10K discounts they've been giving on them.

273? It's going to be atleast ~295 at the least. IMO that price isn't that bad, if you configure a F30 328i similarily, you're at $50k aswell.

Granted to get paddle shifters you have to get the $2,500 sport line on the bimmer.

I'm not sure if I would take a 328i over a fully loaded 300hp SH-AWD TL. I don't think I would honestly. A 335i anyday, but price wise that's in a different league. Hell for 50k you can get a slightly used E90 M3.

A F30 328i (or 320i) is anything but an "ultimate driving machine". ![ugh](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/ugh.gif)
Seriously, secondary market really is the way to go with BMW unless you've won the lottery.
Yeah, that's total crap. But, they'll lease 'em by the truckload and then sell them a second time under CPO. It works for them.

The BMW salesman always seem very pushy toward leasing. I guess I know why now.
I did look at CPO E90 328i's which I did like, the CPO warranty was pretty attractive as well. But I wanted one with a ///M sport package which I couldn't find. And most of the ones they had were used as loaner cars. I heard good things about the TSX so I checked it out and really liked it, especially the SE trim with the red interior stitching, wheels and bodykit. Not to mention I get a grin on my face everytime I hear how it sounds (One does not own a K24 TSX with the resonator on). If Acura wouldv'e made a 2.4 TLX SE or some Sports trim they would've sold a boat load to people like me. Which confuses my why there is no "Type S" version. All they need is a kit + wheels and people like me who don't know better will flock.

I've driven a few F30 328i's; don't recall whether any of them had the sport package. That being said, the steering is still very poor compared to the E9x, not to mention how much NVH that 4-cyl produces. Seriously, drive a F30 328i back-to-back with an E9x 335i. It's night and day.

No. Just loaners, with (admittedly) varying degrees of options and packages.

BMW is very smart.
Overprice the car... "throw" in the maintenance program not really much to do in the first 50k miles especially when your oil changes extend 10k now.
The dealers make money and have retention in their fixed ops side.
More than 50% are leases so they turn 'em in get a new car increasing sales figures, the dealers get a well maintained CPO vehicle to sell.
Very smart indeed.

I think it's a good strategy as long as that luxury quotient is there, which I don't find Acuras to be that luxurious. The fake materials on the interior don't help that cause.

I think a V6 SH-AWD 9AT with TECH package that does less than 5.5 secs to 60 with the anticipated "red carpet" handling, some decent upgrades in NVH at around 43k real world pricing is a respectable value. If it doesn't have a man pedal option, I'll be seriously cross shopping some comps, but there are very few 6MT AWD V6 options out there.

I won't be driving one. I'm not paying $45-50K for an AWD Accord. When Acura gets serious about their engines and overall performance then I think they're an option.
Right now, this car is even more expensive and less of a value prop than the Regal GS.

Not that part. They did it on the Accord coupe and it looks bad there too. The overall execution is better on the TLX.

To get anything close to resembling the BMW of old, you have to step up to the M-Sport package or just buy an M3, which is $$$$$.

If those are the prices, then I was pretty close.

Sorry again guys for not making it clear...
Acura stated that the 3.5L V6 in the TLX has direct injection. The Accord's engine does NOT have DI. Whichever magazine you were reading is probably wrong.....
$50k is the top of the line model. I'm more interested in the prices for other trims. I think those numbers are more important. The top model is just there so that Acura can stuff more high end features to the car.
