I attended as a crewmember for the 2theRedline production team. They are a DC-based auto review company with over 30k subscribers. They had me host a segment on the RLX posted here:
Yes, this is the RLX Sport Handling SH-AWD. Acura's press release dated 11/18/13 highlights all of the changes from the 'base' RLX, and they are quite a few. This car has unique wheels, unique updates to the front end, heads-up display, push-button transmission...

Haha, yeah let's not forget about that.

Yea so I went today and my battery was dead 
I got like no pics
Going to the Porsche exhibit you can tell how much the company has changed!
There wasn't a single 911 there except one of the older ones outside.
The Macan was half decent looking. I dont know the exact price its going to start off, but this thing is going to sell like crazy. People can buy a porsche as a daily for a price thats not much. Probably be their best selling car, considering how well the cayenne sells.

This is fucking stupid. I use to come on a weekday afternoon and never an issue. I'm back today with my wife and the line for will call is around the corner.
Fuck human beings. Go get jobs.

They botched the handling too. The will call line is taking longer than pay lone that used to be around the block. It's fun watching them get bitched out by everyone.

Their logistics were fucked...Will call ended up taking LONGER than the line for tickets...which was originally out and around the block when we got there.
They only had one person doing will call, and kept saying they had no one to open the other desk.
My wife, the most passive person in the world, was even going up and asking questions and complaining.
It got to a point when we were FINALLY close to the counter that the manager finally opened the other desk herself (an hour later) and then instead of splitting the line...she let it become a free for where everyone in the back ran up and cut people off. Then, my wife finally had it and let the lady know she mishandled everything...the lady said ok fine, how about I give you your tickets next. Wife said NO, it wouldn't be fair cause then we'd just be cutting to.
I finally had it and I tore into the lady. I said point blank your logistics are nonexistent and you just completely fucked up the handling of this whole thing. Of course, all the people who cut tried to open their mouths...and I just called them out on cutting, again...and then the lady just kept yelling back what do you want me to do, ill do it...so I finally shouted "jump off cliff"
Someone else in line ran into me late run the show...told me after I yelled at her...others started yelling at her, too after I left. Yes, that made me smile.
Lesson learned...if I ever decide to patron the LA Auto Show again...spend the fucking money, print tickets at home and fuck everyone else.
Took a couple pics..they'll come in a bit.

.I did swing by Acura and boy was it dead. No one gave a crap about the RLX SH-AWD or any of their other models. While the other premium brands were full of foot traffics.

I went Monday afternoon (I think it was 1 something) and had no problem with the will call line. The line was long as the other lines but went fast. Hell they even gave me my tickets w/o checking for id, which I left at home.

So, you either got there right after that...or you caught it. I was angry bald dude yelling at the idiot manager in the pink blazer.

I see Mercedes is keeping with putting the biggest 3-pointed star they can on their cars Only thing I don't like about the S3 is the air vents, but I'm nitpicking. I agree with the 335i GT, I think it looks great. And I wonder if that Elmiraj is as long as the '74 Eldorado my friend got recently.

I'm starting to like the S3 a lot... but the centre console doesn't seem to have much of anything.

I like the idea of a minimalist dash/console in a driver's car. It should really be about you, the car, and the road. I've come to appreciate that now in the ST.

I admit, when I'm driving, I barely look at the center console. Maybe to adjust the radio/Sirius station or the climate control, but most of the time I'm concentrating on driving and having a blast while doing it.

I just think it looks like those two vents are the centrepiece of the interior, instead of the infotainment system. On the bright side, the screen is more in your field of view I guess.
It seems like you don't have to turn your eyes far off to look at the nav. I'm looking forward to sitting in one as well.

The Audi A3 interior looks so incredibly low rent.
