And how can the TLX be a good value when it doesn't even come with chrome handles?

Seriously, QUIT cherry picking info and words to try to justify to others that it makes sense because it DOESN'T... Oh, and Its not a good value compared to the TSX, nor is it a good value compared to the new MMC Accord, especially when the MMC gets 95% of its tech and then some for less.

How do you figure? Hey, i have a smart idea, lets compare it to a discontinued vehicle (TSX) and try to justify it as being a good value. Seriously, QUIT cherry picking info and words to try to justify to others that it makes sense because it DOESN'T... Oh, and Its not a good value compared to the TSX, nor is it a good value compared to the new MMC Accord, especially when the MMC gets 95% of its tech and then some for less.

The fit/finish much higher grade than Accord. very timeless aggressive design. Just look at a the 5 year old TSX.

I want whatever your smoking. You're clearly high as fuck. 
Most think the 2nd gen TSX looks like a fat fucking pig, compared to the first gen. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Once again, your argument is null and void. And retarded.

I also had the 1G TSX. The design is tall and narrow like Corrolla. and certainly much less refined and narrow seats than 2G TSX.
2G TSX is very high quality product. Look at the gauges and steering wheel, wide seats, console with cup holder, expensive mirror design.

What ever particle of credibility you had left around here has been obliterated with this post.

Still. no. freaking. spec.

Gauges and steering wheel look no different than any of Hondas other offerings these days.
Wide seats? You must have a fat ass. You tout the 2G TSX as being super sporty, yet you complain about narrow seats? Give me a fucking break. Wide seats are for boats not sporty cars. Fail.
Console with cup holder? WoW!!! What car doesn't have that these days
Expensive mirror design? What the fuck does that mean?
You're a fucking troll. Give it up.

Honestly, at this point, maybe Acura being a thing of the past is a good thing. Besides a different design language between the two (and admittedly, not hugely different), there is little difference between the two.
Kill the TLX. Let the Accord continue its reign.
Slap a Honda badge on the new NSX, like it will have in most places around the world.
Offer another trim level on the Civic and kill the ILX.
Bring the RDX over.
Kill the MDX by adding another trim level to the Pilot. Then again, spruce up the Pilot a bit more to make room for the RDX below it.
And the RLX? At this point, just kill it. What's the point.

There have always been a lot of mdxs around. It's Acura's bread and butter. But to keep the company going because of one model doesn't make much sense. The new accord is snipping at the TLXs heals in a major way. Sales numbers still aren't that great for the TLX and by killing it off it would likely help the accord sales.
Accord Touring is $34K. Base 2.4 TLX is $32K and it won't have all the tech the MMC Accord will be getting which includes:
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (not available on any TLX)
- New 7-inch Display Audio touchscreen interface and HD radio
- Honda Sensing™ which includes:
- Remote engine start
- 19-inch wheels
- Heated rear seats
- 60/40 split and folding rear seat
- Front and rear parking sensors
- Rain-sensing windshield wipers
Looking at 2015 Acura TLX | Features | Compare Models | Acura.com, to get similar features, you'd have to get the 2.4 TLX with Tech package which is $36K. For $2k more, what does it have that the Accord Touring doesn't? P-AWS, an 8 speed DCT, an Integrated Dynamics System, perforated Milano premium leather-trimmed interior, and a slightly quieter cabin.
For $2K less, what does the Accord Touring have that the 2.4 TLX w/Tech doesn't? A V6 engine, upgraded 19-inch wheels, Remote engine start, Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Front and rear parking sensors, Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™), Road Departure Mitigation (RDM), LED fog lights
A similarly equipped TLX would be the $40,000 3.5 TLX with Tech package. For $6K more, what will it have that the Accord Touring won't? 18-inch (not 19-inch like on the Accord) wheels, P-AWS, a 9-speed auto, an Integrated Dynamics System, 8-way power seat, perforated Milano premium leather-trimmed interior, and a slightly quieter cabin.
The 2.4 TLX with Tech and 3.5 TLX with Tech sure looks a lot like an Accord Touring to me. And the Accord Touring is $2,000 to $6,000 less.
- Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (not available on any TLX)
- New 7-inch Display Audio touchscreen interface and HD radio
- Honda Sensing™ which includes:
- Collision Mitigation Braking System™ (CMBS™)
- Forward Collision Warning (FCW)
- Lane Keeping Assist (LKAS)
- Road Departure Mitigation (RDM)
- Lane Departure Warning (LDW)
- Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC)
- Remote engine start
- 19-inch wheels
- Heated rear seats
- 60/40 split and folding rear seat
- Front and rear parking sensors
- Rain-sensing windshield wipers

we don't know the hp/tq, but we do know that it has a ttv6 and two electronic motors. similar set ups tend go for much higher dollars.

Remember, Honda hates you.
On what fvcking planet is a 2G TSX a good car? It was and still is a massive epic fail on Acura's part which was made even worse by adding the V6 option. The 1G TSX takes a steaming sh1t on the 2G every day and twice on Sunday.

The Japanese people will ask "What the heck is Acura ? Is it some kind of raw fish roe ?"
It is very sad indeed that the Acura brand doesn't have a global footprint, especially more so by its absence in the domestic HOME market.
