Will the A-Spec variant still stay for the 2021 TLX?
So I've been thinking, with the upcoming Type S variant for the TLX, I was wondering if a A-Spec variant would still be offered or not for the 2021 TLX. I would want a new TLX which looks good without having to pay that premium price for the Type S. Currently, the TLX can be fully loaded with an A-Spec body style. What is everyone's thoughts on this? I am one of those buyers who would prefer the A-Spec variant over the Type S as I probably wouldn't be able to afford the Type S judging by how much power and features there will be for that model.

Don't see any reason why Acura would discontinue the a-spec. It seems to have been doing pretty well based on the amount of them I see on the road. They have the a-spec through the whole lineup.
The type S I think will strictly be a performance model much like an AMG or M line.

A-Spec is here to stay, and that's a good thing.

There are four lights!
I know the A-Spec is all about sporty visual changes, but I would love to see Acura take the A-Spec trim further. Basically a Type-S lite. Tune the vehicle to be the middle child between the regular and Type-S models. Tighter suspension without being overly harsh, better tires like the Pilot Sport A/S 3+, and a modest boost in drivetrain performance. Something around the 300hp / 300 lb-ft range.

If Lexus has been able to keep their F-Sport line around for so long, clearly there's a market for the A-Spec line. Plenty of people who want an appearance package, especially those who are already paying a premium for a premium/luxury car. Just look at all the S-Line Audis or Mercs with the AMG appearance package that are on the road...people are willing to pay major bucks for just appearances.

A-Spec already has suspension tweaks and wider wheels/tires. Would love to see better brakes and sportier transmission tuning. Power bump is optional but also welcome.
