Long Live Acurazine. What a time to be alive

 

TLX must be bigger crap when they have to heavily discount ($8K-$10K) a new car to get sales.

 

Is this real quote or make up numbers.
2016 BMW X5 xdrive asking $35k. These are SUV more in demand

https://sfbay.craigslist.org/sby/ctd/6137249054.html

 

Trying to defend TLX, goes and finds a price quote on a SUV...

 

this thread needs more meaningless pictures and diagrams, so here's a giraffe. It has as much relevance to this thread as the 2016 BMW X5

 

also, private sales are always priced lower than dealer sales. What a guy.

 

But with summer tires, you can hit light speed on his TSX

 

the prices of bmw sedans too pathetic to post . I gave example of BMW largest SUV that is in demand. 2016 BMW 550 certified asking $53k. depreciating $20k per year for certified.

Doubles down on silly comparison...

 

He's also forgetting that people who can afford to buy BMWs, keep buying BMWs. They don't have to slang a 10 year old Honda.

 

Looks like these were released today.

Why do i feel like we had this conversation already with him???

and i remember i said... Hey Corolla only lose a few thousand every year, then it must be the best car in the world.

 

Right.

Rating a luxury automobile by value is like rating a marathon runner by his bench press. It doesn't matter very much.

Speaking of the Corolla, at least we (and Toyota) know what that is for. If you need transportation for a modest living, there really isn't a better car in the market than the Corolla or Civic.

 

The fact that he used dollar amount instead of %...

 

1-2 year old BMW depreciate $20K or $2.46 per mile. That's not bad. Comparison:

Acura that demand $200,000 depreciating $15,000 in less than 1 year and with only 477 miles. That's $31.47 per mile depreciation -- Cars for Sale: Used 2017 Acura NSX for sale in Beverly Hills, CA 90211: Coupe Details - 452130889 - Autotrader

Another Acura that demand $198,500 depreciating $13,550 in 7 months and with only 163 miles. That's $83.13 per mile depreciation -- Cars for Sale: Used 2017 Acura NSX for sale in Los Angeles, CA 90064: Coupe Details - 447110719 - Autotrader

It gets worse. Acura that demand $183,700 depreciating $13,800 in less than 1 year and with only 8 miles. That's $1,725 per mile depreciation!!! -- Cars for Sale: New 2017 Acura NSX for sale in Indianapolis, IN 46240: Coupe Details - 449916429 - Autotrader

 

Clearly the seller has the wrong tires.

 

the problem you can find one or two Acura that depreciated but i can find tons of BMW that depreciates.

that 2016 BMW is 8000 mile on it. only use 6 to 8 months. that BMW cost 1/3 of NSX.

now this i8 has only 18000 mile on it and it already lost $50k.

how TLX SH-AWD you can find on used car lot compared to Corrolla?.
BMW has become a corrolla. Almost every type of BMW avaiable on used car lot at bargain basement prices.

 

In order for a car to be "used", they have to be sold first.

And you know what happened when that BMW went to the used car lot? Another newer BMW replaced it in the owner's driveway.

 

You know what is more rare than TLX SHAWD on used lot? RLX

 

Oh, I thought you were going to say ILX

 

well ILX is next on the list after RLX.

 

That was supposed to be a red text comment. C'mon!!

 

 

Imagine that, there are more used Corolla's than used TLX's. I'm shocked! Could it be because Toyota sells 8.58 times more Corolla's than Acura sells TLX's in the U.S. ?

Instead of looking at total number, let's look at it as a percentage, which would be a more fair comparison.

An unscientific look at the numbers:

2015-2017 Toyota Corolla sales:
There are 10,664 used/certified used 2015-2017 Corolla's on autotrader listed for sale across the U.S. That means that of the 829,037 new Corolla's sold, 1.29% of them are now being sold as used.


2015-2017 Acura TLX sales:
There are 1,713 used/certified used 2015-2017 TLX's on autotrader listed for sale across the U.S. That means that of the 96,618 new TLX's sold, 1.77% of them are now being sold as used.

As a percentage, there are more used TLX's for sale than Corolla's

 

^ Why????

 

lol your first sentence is pretty much what I said.

But ya, this is where I'm hoping the Precision stuff will deliver. The next 5 years will be important and we will see if Acura has learned anything, and if Honda has the balls to invest in Acura.

 

autotrader sales only corrolla that are not in rentals. It's inaccurate statistics

 

So I just read somewhere that the TLX A-Spec suspension is a whopping 3% firmer dampening than standard.

What the what?

 

forget about the suspension. I am more curious if A Spec comes with the upgraded tires.....

 

^^^^^

But factory-tuned suspension comes with full warranty coverage, over aftermarket modded suspension; whereas for tires, it is cheap in cost to upgrade after vehicle sales.

 

Advanced, That kind of Thrill thinking by Acura!

 

Been Acura's MO since like 2001...the sportier models sportier bits only increased by a small margin.
Almost akin to how Honda handles their sport models...

 

Isn't 3% like within or slightly out of their margin of error for manufacturing? If so, that means these were from the "bad" batch of dampers. Instead of tossing them, they saved them and called them A-Spec.

 

Depends on what the tolerance is set at for quality during manufacturing. 3% seems like a lot...

Most of our parts are at a tolerance of thousandths.

 

lol 3% doesn't sound like a lot but it seems like most reviewers enjoy driving the new A-spec. Perhaps the overall setup, including the dampers, steering ratio, larger rims, wider tires, stiffer suspension components etc all contribute to the overall improvement.

 

 

You could achieve 3% just by changing tires size/ratio with stiffer sidewall alone

 

245/45/19 michelin

 

Hmmm, I think it's 3% just for the dampers...not sure what the total effect is with all the changes combined together.

Unfortunately those aren't summer tires, just MXM4. Still better than the Goodyear tires though.
