"...................................we just aren't offering this color red to anyone"


-Acura


yep my QQ post for their quote on facebook

^^ *LMAO* You just made their marketing division really happy by giving them their new slogan.

I love how people are posting the spy shots in the comments.

Red was never really a popular color. Why is it now all of sudden?

I always thought it to be a "girly color".

Part of what made the TLX look great was the athletic red. I love the Red TSX. Best color, honestly.

No one who liked the red was actually going to buy it in red any way.

ostrich

Actually, I was totally going to buy that "athletic red" TLX if it were available and if the production car looked as hot as the prototype!

justingerard

If they put the prototype on sale they wouldn't have a sales decline anymore.

I'm just happy that the production shots that leaked weren't from the North American model, it looks pretty sedate.

The Red with the new Expresso color.. assuming that is like a camel brown.. would have been a great combo. It may not have been the top color in sales, but it would turn heads and Acura needs that. Same reason they need a TLX Coupe.

Our X3 was bright red. Never saw another one, not sure if that was good or bad.

Damn son, all I saw were the rims on that wheelbarrow.

^^^ *LMAO* And these are better than the rims on the production TLX!!

The only car I'll take in "red" is a Ferrari. And by red, I'm talking about rosso corsa.

Red has always been a limited edition color for Acura.

weather

^^ I think you are correct...aren't they limiting red to the bottom line of their sedan sales these days?

BEAR-AvHistory

Yeah, the picture was of the wheelbarrow, one of the family was looking for one & wanted to see what it looked like.

Never did take a shot of the X3

If they produced a production car with that red, while it may not sell as good as white silver or black, i would venture to guess they would have no problems selling every single one of them.

I think if they sold the Prototype exactly as is they would have no problems selling them. You make a limited edition Type-S SH-AWD in the Prototype Red, Black and say white or I prefer Silver and I bet they sell them like crazy.

insanik

Why cant they offer this prototype similiar to the 3G electric blue type-s? ugh acura, stop sucking

my wife never would have bought her TSX if it didn't come in Milano Red. She always mentions how boring the Acura color choices are. She is disappointed the TLX isn't being offered in a bright red.

Just re use Moroccan Red Pearl and call it a day...

I guess the new slogan is "Official Vehicle of Everything Thrilling". Somehow related to the March college basketball tournament.

My wife was very disappointed to learn the TLX wont be offered in Milano Red
