docboy...I agree that Matt seems to be quite excited by the quietness of the TLX and the refinement they brought to the model. I think for me, the part that makes me feel a Type-S (or A-Spec) will be coming is the video with the designer of the TLX. When interviewed, he had mentioned that not all versions of the TLX would have the hidden dual exhausts which makes me think that one version will have these pipes sticking out...and what better model than the Type-S?! 
I totally agree Weather. And I think the Type-S, or whatever they decide to call it, will be a V6 not the 4 cylinder.

Glad to see Hargett shoved forward a little bit.
Having people like Hargett and Hall out front helps people understand that the 4G TL and 5G TLX are American cars. Designed by Americans and for Americans.
I was fearful of Hargett because I thought maybe he'd be held accountable for the disappointing sales of the 4G TL. It was and is an excellent car with a lot of quietly innovative ideas. It was also...a victim of the times, unfortunately.
There's a couple of things on my RLX that I think are a little weird, and it's clearly more a product of the Japanese team.

My '02 had a fairly stiff suspension. The 2013+ Accord rides similarly. Firm but compliant.
