2015 Acura TLX Discussion

I really like the shape of the front seats, not that that's a big deal but they look cool. The car itself is still a little too vanilla for my taste. I was hoping that it would be as striking as my GS F Sport but it seems to look cheesy with the optional aero/ground affects.

Every other V6 in the class is pushing over 320HP:
Cadillac ATS - 321HP
BMW 335i - underrated at 300HP but pushes out WELL over 330HP
Audi S4 - pushes well over 330HP
Infiniti Q50 - 328HP in gasser and 360+ in the hybrid
Mercedes C400 - 329HP
So no, I am not pulling numbers out.

Base IS350 V6 = $40k
Base TLX V6 = $35k
Base Q50 V6 = $37k
Infiniti is giving more power than both and and price slotted in between.

My local Acura dealer had a launch party for the TLX. Believe it or not they sold three in the 45 minutes I was there and al three were walk in customers. The TLX is a nice car inside and out. It's a very safe car and I don't see any was this won't sell large amounts. Here are some pics..

No the IS350 does not compete well with the current engine. That is one of the biggest gripes with the car. The lack of HP and torque for the segment.

What are you pissing on the IS 350 in a TLX thread?
The TLX is not really an IS competitor, its more of an ES competitor The last generation TL boasted it was the "most powerful acura ever forever ever" with 305hp. This new TLX has 290hp, down 15hp.

The Camry V6 apparently has only 268HP; yet it goes like a rocket!
My 306HP IS350 eats every C-class and 3 series that I see, not that the average driver of one of those heap of junk ever dares to try me..
Also funny you mentioned C400 as here the C400 is ISF money! And guess who'd annihilate who in performance? That's right.

A closer comparison is the A4 w/220hp (but nice flat torque curve with the turbo) which starts at $35.5k ($42.9 for Prestige). I would think the A4 will be cross shopped with the TLX much more that the S4.

I got to 295 cursing range in my 4GS after a 4 hour trip and thought hell froze over lol. I do about 90% city driving so I'm used to an average of 250 cruising miles.
