Hey everybody,
Im assisting my girlfriend in the purchase of a new 2016 TLX V6 She currently has a 2009 TL V6. The 2009 seems so much more luxurious. I know the technology has improved. What are peoples thoughts? Shes driving one for the day and doesnt seem super excited

 

if shes not too thrilled....obviously, she enjoys the 09 more and will favor that over the TLX.

dont worry about hearsay, what others say....

a happy wife will make for a happy life! if she likes the 09, keep it!

 

don't downgrade


is there a reason you're assisting her in purchasing a new car of which she already has a car she likes?

 

if she does not like the TLX, then get something else.

 

Sounds like she's trying to save you $40k on a new car. Don't fight it.

 

Look outside of Acura. Much better options from other companies for $40k. Just my opinion though... YMMV.

 

She doesnt like the TLX? Thats it!... you need a new girlfriend.

 

We aren't starting this debate here, you will lose in this section of the forum.

But no. His GF is just fine in her car picking ways.

 

Looks like someone did not sense the humor in my comment. If you think my advice to op is to ACTUALLY get a new girlfriend.... then only debate here is if you just sufferred a brain fart or not..... and I will definately lose to ppl who suffer from brain farts.

 

i say she is a keeper for not wanting a TLX She's got good taste.... wait she does have a 4G TL....um...scratch that, get a new GF

 

Last car I would buy would be an acura right now.

 

Unlike how you went from your boss and vip sports ILX to a TLX, going from a TL to a TLX isn't really an upgrade.... even if the 2009 TL is

 

Aww look at the lil minion lounging and my jockage. Searchng post from a year ago. Thats old news lil fella. Now be a good boy and get off my jockage.

Oh, and about the comment of my getting a TLX isnt an upgrade.. sounds like you're just a .
You're an Accord groupie. ACCORD THIS ACCORD THAT. dude what are you doing on ACURAzine ? BYE FELICA!!!. Go on the Accord forums.

 

Who needs to search with memorable posts like that? Some things, once seen, cannot be unseen (or forgotten).

Never said you getting a TLX wasn't an upgrade. I did say that an Accord Touring V6 would have been a better/smarter upgrade (more tech, more power, larger and better looking wheels, lower price) vs going with another 2.4 engine. But as long as you're happy....


Besides an Acura being a Honda, a lot of us were former Acura owners. We still have friends here. Just because we no longer own an Acura means we cannot come here anymore?

This is the best site for up-to-date news about Acura (and Honda) vehicles.

 

Having driven the TLX, it definitely seems like a downgrade from my '13 TL.

And I'm with AZuser, the Accord Touring is a better vehicle than the 4cyl TLX, I'd even argue it's a much better vehicle than the base V6 TLX.

 

Definitely better value than base V6 TLX still, IMO. It's not until you get to the V6 TLX with Tech or Advance pack that I'd start to consider the TLX over an Accord Touring.

 

at the people who think that if you get rid of your Acura you shouldn't be on the forum...

Well if that was the case, we'd have a bunch of riced out non intelligent people on the forum....

 

I came to AZ in my old 04 Accord V6, and stayed for the change to my 08 TL-S.

 

These. Would buy an Accord instead. Touring should cover her needs and it looks better than the TLX.

Or, if she likes her TL, just listen to her--she should keep it.

 

wait, Rae Rae did you really have those gaudy emblems in your car?





I cant take you seriously any more.

 

You guys need to put some Respek on Rae emblems.

 

Isn't there suppose to be a TLX-S coming for the MMC ? I'd wait until later this year/early next year if she waits to stay with Acura.

 

She needs to drive the RDX Elite.

 

Oh. Another Accord groupie. Hai!

 

 

Oh DAGggGgg
I woke up to a roast of my long gone emblems. Thanks AZuser

 

Who needs to search? Well unless you had my photos stored. U definately search for it....though the ilx section or my profile u searched. And used it for trolling pupose only because that did nothing but derailing this thread .This is excactly my point of ppl like Azuser trolling acurazine. Go troll the honda forums bro.
All I'm saying is when i had my CTS I was on the Cadillac forums, when I had a 330i I was on the BMW forums. Now I have a TLX I'm on the ACURA forums. Me personally.. I wont be able to own a CHEVY and be on the Cadillac forums, but to each their own.

Now I'm not saying the Accord is not a good car or value.... BUT.. so is lots of other MAIN stream vehicles, for instance the Kia Optima.. I heard the designer for Audi quit and designs the Optima now. He has done a great job! ... Park the Accord next to the optima debaged them both. Its the Optima for me. And for the same price range
Same goes for the TLX v6 or i4. It just looks more expense than an Accord
I had a V6 tlx loaner and the power difference is not all that noticable. Yeah its a bit quicker but its definately not 5k quicker. Also I work on my own cars and the i4 has enough room under the hood to work comfortably. Also, I do 15k miles a year so saving gas is a plus... for me the i4 is perfect over the v6

 

I DONT TAKE ANYONE SURIOUSLY ON THOSE FORUMS BRO. THE FEELING IS MUTUAL

 

When u see my emblems RESPEK it. I anit gon say NO MORE ...all tree of yall...

Are you finsih or you done? (Birdman voice)

 

well, you were. WERE the voice of reason.

now, you're just a boss!

 

Your actions telleth a different story...

 

Voice of reason? Look back.. ya boy AZuser post pic of my year old thread that had lil to NO reason to be on this thread. Pure definition of trolling.

 

I meant, you're good at giving advice, via TLX and ILX boards...

i dont care what Azuser did, i just think the "boss" emblems were a little bit funny.

 

no, they were hilarious

 

You may be onto something there....

 

I can tell you one thing, I don't respect anyone who cannot spell or punctuate the english language in an english speaking car forum.

 

you're old.

and thats okay!

but that was a pop culture reference that happened 2 weeks ago

 

Wait..I just saw those pics...Is he fucking serious with that shit?

 

I'm old...and slow..

 

where is the VIPPPPUHHH table though?
