New Acura RLX Sport Hybrid marketing videos

Acura is trying to fight for marketshare. These web ads represent some of the ammo. What do you think, RLX fans? I posted a similar thread with TLX videos on the TLX board.

I have no regrets going with a leftover '17. Love this automobile. I did cross shop before buying and came back to the RLX SHawd.

Anything is better than nothing! Ha.

Funny, as I am currently cross-shopping larger, high HP sedans with the most rear legroom; narrowed to RLX hybrid vs. Infiniti Q70L and Chevy SS. I keep coming back to the RLX hybrid, too. When you do the math over 5 years' time, the gas expenditure alone (projected) is pretty shocking on the other cars; the RLX fillup cost is 33% less than the Q and SS over time. For a DD, it just makes a lot more sense to pocket that cost. My problem is there is absolutely nothing in my area, RLX Hybrid-wise (Texas). I'm looking to buy off-lease and there is zero inventory due to the rarity of the car; everything is out on the coasts and the northern US.

The other temptation, though, is the new Accord 2.0T, especially now that there's a tune for it. Ikeda really needs to create some separation, I believe.

Glad they're finally getting smart on this - they should have been doing this 3 years ago. The Sport Hybrid compares very favorably with these competitors, but only the people on this forum really know that.

This is a very nice car. It's funny, though, that the Camry won against it for the 2018 Consumer Reports top choice.

I urge you to reach out to your dealer and let them do the footwork for you - happened this way with mine in Houston. My dealers first Hybrid RLX to be sold. He/she contacted the regional rep who found one coming from Japan. If I hadn't asked I would not be driving one today.
