Peek-a-boo... Did someone say meet??? lol... I have access to a secret underground parking garage that is awesome for pics. Got rid of my '14 IS350, now rolling a '16 IS350 F sport.

The IS has a bit of road noise, but I love the bump in power and torque, the rear wheel drive, and the 8 spd tranny. The leather in the Lexus vehicles is way nicer/softer than Honda/Acura. They ride and handle better than my TL did too.

If yall are down to meet at the garage, let me know. Must be respectful though. Its at an office complex for someone I do contract work for, and Im not willing to burn that bridge.

I drove a 2012 IS last year. It had a nice, solid feel to it. It wasn't 100% perfect but I did very much enjoy it!

Wow, no activity in here since July 2020. Anyways, got into an accident several weeks back and the RDX was totalled. After getting insurance money from the other party, picked up a 2018 MDX w/Tech.

I was looking at the specs and it's really close to the 3rd gen TL, how do you like it compared to the TL?

i like it. I would say it’s definitely an acquired taste. It’s hard for me to compare this to my 3GTL. They both have their good and bad. I do miss the TL.

Thanks man

I knew there would be a refresh in 2020. So i just waited. When I started hearing that there was going to be a Generation change in 2022 I figured I would jump on it.

I love it. Honda left so much on the plate to mod. Really fun car to drive.

It is good to be in here. I've lurked for a little over 20 years. I was a main contributor over on the Mazda forums for years, as I have a Mazda MP3 with a bunch of mods. In 2015, I broke a gear, and the car went down. I ordered new, forged gears, and while waiting to put it back together, I got myself into a 2012 TL for my daily driver. Drove that until I traded it in for a TL A-Spec in 2020. A little over a month ago that car was totalled. I am currently waiting on a Type-S to arrive.

Saw a Type-S last night. It was white, and looks to be purchased at Vandergriff Acura, and was rocking the muli-spoke wheels. Who was this?

I found out who it was. I don't believe they are on the forums though.

Hello DFW.... I'm back. I just sold my 3G TL and purchased a 5G TLX. I've been looking at the 2023 tail/wing on the Type S. Does anybody know if that wing will fit a 5G?
