2018 tlx Apec Black or Blue?
I"m gonna buy a tlx but can't decide blue or black. The blue is so beautiful it's the color I want but the interior is ugly. Ebony alcantara doesn't fit the interior and alcantara doesn't last long. The seats and the grey interior make the inside looks like an old honda and not bright and luxurious like a benz. It's a shame the blue exterior is what I want but damn the interior sucks.
the black apec offers the red leather which is really beautiful inside and the door sills match it. It looks beautiful with the sliver in the interior. It looks bright and real luxurious. I don't like the black exterior as much as the blue because the black aspec looks like it will look old fast and black is hard to take care of.
I really wish the blue had better looking interior. I really don't know what color to get. Either black with alright exterior and good interior or blue with amazing exterior and ugly interior.
Help me choose.

Ps: I live in Canada by the way and the only interior option for blue tlx is ebony alcantara.

I passed on Black because the details of the color contrasts on the Aspec get lost. Blue is amazing, black interior was fine for me, would have loved the espresso interior. I'd go with the external color you want and if the interior bothers you so much, I've seen dealers here add red leather to Honda Civics for $1000 and it looks OEM. Maybe see if that's an option for the Blue exterior with your dealer.

Anyway, just get what you want. You're the one paying for it. Good luck

In Canada they only have red leather for the black tlx. every other color uses ebony alcantara. The grey interior really makes the acura look old and plastic. I heard alcantara is hard to clean and it traps sweat more. I'm leaning towords black even though I really want the blue. I hope the dealer has a option to change seats and the grey door sills.

Your right
I think your right the exterior is more important for when people see the car and damn I love the looks. But for 52k new in Canada I wish the interior would look better. Yes the exterior is amazing but anther people aren't seating in it every day. The red interior will look like I spent 50k but not the grey interior. Like if I'm on a date the girl will love my car but when she sits inside its gonna look dull and boring compared to the red interior. Acura needs to color cordinate the interior better like if they had blue leather then the lines in the dash and the door handle should also be blue not sliver. For 50k I'd wanna get a benz but the reliability and maintance cost is not worth it. Acura is close just work on color coordinating the interior. I still havn't made up my mind but If I get blue I have to get seat covers because the alcantara color sucks for the interior.

Love the black interior. My TLX has 23,000kms on it now and the alcantera still looks new. Better then the leather on my 15 TLX.

Red leather interior is amazing!
I am so glad that I got the red leather interior for my TLX Elite A-Spec - it truly looks stunning and luxurious! I loved the red and blue exterior too, but could not imagine myself living with black alcantara, so I went with white on red and have not looked back since.
IMHO, if you live in Canada, unless you are in coastal BC, black will be a nightmare to keep clean. Black on red will look stunning too, but really, it will always look dirty.... I didn't consider white before but this combination of white on red is really amazing.... will you consider white exterior at all?

I have the black with red interior and love it. From the outside, the red interior looks darker and a bit more subdued. At night, the red lighting and the red interior really pop. I get a great deal of compliments on that combination.

Some seriously shallow bitches, if they won't fuck you due to having a black interior. Get better bitches.

Black is the worst color to keep looking nice, think swirl marks and water spots. I have had 3 black vehicle over the years (2 were Company vehicles, so I didn’t care too much) but after each one of them, I swore never again, so far it’s been close to 20 years. I love detailing my cars and lighter colors are so much more forgiving. White or various shades of Silver is all I would even consider. Black is always a great choice for the interior.

I saw a new, clean, blue A Spec in the spring sunshine this a.m. on my way to work. All I can say is WOW! If I were buying a TLX, after seeing this it'd be a no-brainer. Simply a stunning color.

love the blue also but I know I would get tired of it in the long run. Classic White, Silver or Black if you are committed to maintaining the Black, it takes A LOT of extra effort!

Black cars
I purchased a Black MDX and had it ceramic coated...best investment I could’ve done.
The key is how you wash it moving forward.
Hand car wash is a No No.
No waxing needed.
I use a foam canon to apply Meguiars and then also to rinse it off. Then use a blower to dry it out.
Im Done washing the car in 30 mins...without laying one finger on it.
The car looks flawless.
If you like black and can invest in coating...go for it.
If you do it right...is not that hard to maintain.
