Congrats! I love the Still Night Blue with either black or red interior. The blue/red I'd get a 2G NSX in, personally. Great choice and stunning lease deal.

Italiannyc; make sure you get them to throw in the 19" Donut Spare tire; they're back ordered
Anyone living in NYC, has to deal with Pothole city; blowouts are inevitable for low profile tires
Also, try & negotiate Tire & Wheel replacement insurance
Each 19" Michelin is around $250, & the 19" spoke wheels are $1,100 EACH
The insurance is for the life of the lease or loan, & it's NOT aftermarket; all factory replacements
Best of all, there's no limit to the # of tires or wheels, & you can use your dealer or any certified tire dealer
wise investment!

Hey neuronbob: Interest rates are real low now; most people defer buying until spring; (bad choice)
Prices are WAY better in January
Do your homework; the dealer in Florida wanted $2,500 down, & $489 /month; haha
strange, only because how many SH-AWD cars do they sell in fort lauderdale
Good luck!

Kuzdu; I actually test drove the A-Spec AWD in Florida last week; that's what sold me
The tranny is way better than our current one; (mine was replaced); still 9 speed ZF, but no more jolts, & "parachuting"
The suspension, has been tweaked nicely, to go with the new Michelin 19" rubber
Air cooled seats, driver thigh support, wireless IPhone charging, Apple car Play, etc., etc., etc.
BTW; There's a subtle growl from the engine, & the electric steering is much improved, with a thicker steering wheel
BEST OF ALL: the ANNOYING AUTO IDLE STOP, can be PERMANENTLY disconnected; YAY
Can't wait to take delivery; I'll post some reviews, & pics., over the weekend[/QUOTE

Another thing while driving on those smooth Florida roads down south did u notice any vibrations at any time?
Anyway congrats on the car as I have the same one. I have had a lot of compliments on the car and the shawd handling is really great. MPG wise I was getting 28 in the 2017 FWD V6 TLX but the A-Spec is returning 22 but I guess once winter is over it will bump up to 24. I don't do much highway driving though and I do have a heavy foot so its 1mpg better than the type S but with a bit less acceleration and finicky picking the gears.

Very nice looking car shows the lines well. The latest add to our family cars is very similar in color. First blue one in a while. Best of luck & enjoy driving it. Don't know where you are located but winter gas usually shows worse mileage then the summer blend. Also as you run the mileage on the car up the gas mileage will improve.

I don't even think the dealer would charge $1100 per wheel. They have a list price of $401.20

kuzdu; congrats on the acquisition; White/Red was my 2nd choice; last TLX was White/Espresso
You're gonna LOVE it! Blows the 2015 TLX/SH-AWD/Tech out of the water
Tighter steering, suspension, bigger tires, electric thigh extender, Apple, & Android CarPlay, etc.
BTW: it's HIGHLY ADVISABLE to get tire & wheel insurance; NYC roads SUCK, & potholes will be blooming
as soon as the temps increase; low profile 19" tires are very susceptible to bad roads
wise investment; anyway, GOOD LUCK!

The placard costs about $2-$3 on its own. For the 19" wheels the part number for it is: 42762-TZ3-A90

18TLXAspec: thx., for the heads-up; I'm actually having mine installed by the dealer on Saturday
For me, the spare is imperative; it always seems that flats & blow-outs happen on Sundays, when no one's around; lol
Anyway, on my 2015 TLX, I had the WRONG donut, & when I needed it I was screwed; dealer replaced it after the fact
Have to make sure this one fits
No matter what, if you get a blow-out, the tire sealant repair kit is useless; therefore the donut is essential

instead of typing the name and :, why not use the nifty quote feature so the person knows who you're addressing? Also, you can multi-quote to respond to more than one person.
Congrats on your choice, what a great car...my mother in law has a red one and in person it is a work of art, that's for sure. Stands out heavily over the base TLX.
Love the combo you picked.

Anyway, congrats! I know you'll love it

You did better than me i got it for 485 just first month payment and drive, rolled the dmv cost into it as well and remote start. All in all not a bad deal. I also have a 4cyl TLX that is dirt cheap lol and you know what’s funny that’s car hasn’t been to the dealer yet for any issues.
