My car is an 05 acura TL. I'm considering buying a 15 TLX.

Might pay cash for it if I can find it cheap enough.
You making that GTA 5 money?

I dislike the TLX series if I'm being honest. They look nice on the outside, but the inside leave something to be desired, what even more egregious is that the Honda Accord has apple carplay in the higher trim levels, the TLX doesn't. On top of that's it doesn't handle nearly as sporty as it should.

my wife has a 2017 accord hybrid with car play. I asked the acura people why this car didn't have it and they said, that because a lot of acuras have navigation integrated already, that apple was focusing on cars that didn't have those features :yeshrug:

that carplay ain't a game changer for me at all tho. it's cool, and I like being able to use some apps like maps and tunein radio. but I dont like how your messages notifications cannot be turned off. that's bullshyt. not like I have shyt to hide, but I don't like that feature.

however, my wife's car also has automatic start. that car is loaded, so she' paid acura prices for a fukking honda. I'd rather pay less and have the V6 TLX instead. and her hybrid car is sooooo slow. you can't accelerate for shyt in that car. I don't need hybrid type mileage since I work from home anyways.

Yea the carplay has some quirks, oddly enough I got it in my daughters Malibu, that I drive sometimes. But honestly dollar for the dollar, the Honda Accord is a nicer car than the Acura, and the only reason to get the Acura is the available AWD and the 8 speed transmission (or 7 speed, I forget offhand)

No its not a German car. But a German car for TLX money is going to be a slow POS with vinyl seats and no equipment. IMO the TLX looks just as good as that 3rd gen TL if not better :manny: Lot of car for $40K

Personally, because Honda has dropped the ball big time with the brand while Lexus has evolved and Cadillac is staking its claim in the luxury world. You can't wanna be a luxury marque and not fill in specific segments

They don't need to have a million variants like BMW but Acura doesn't have a full size flagship or even a sports coupe. It's the same beefed up Accord in different lengths with SH-AWD thrown in here and there. The designs are flat and no one likes the "shield" up front with the logo.

These cats are Saab/Volvo status while Lexus is killing it with the new IS, RX remains a big seller, LS is going head up with the S Class/7 series, ES gets that mainstream sedan $$$, LFA is the halo car, the LX/GX are the trucks/SUVs and the new RC will be the sporty coupe that will battle the 4 series/A5
As an Acura TL owner, I completely agree. Lexus is killing the game right now.

sooooo, I ended up getting a 2015 TLX base model with 15K miles on it. it's a silver blue type of color, but EVERYONE insist it's silver :yeshrug:

dark interior. the reason I got the base model besides it being cheaper, was that the options in the higher packages aren't important to me. the fog lights, and the navigation and the safety features like adaptive cruise control and lane assist aren't worth the extra bread. my wife has all that shyt on her car, and I dont like it, nor would I ever pay for it. the only thing I like about my wife's honda is the carplay integration which is better than the regular ipod integration on my car.

so far so good with the car tho. probably keep this one 9 or 10 years like the last whip.

also this car was much cheaper with more options than the competitors like lexus es, audi a4, and bmw 3 series.

I felt the same as the bold part when I bought my TL. Sure it's not a Beamer or the others, but I have navi, sound system, aesthetics, cheaper and less headaches.

What's the exact color of your car called?

I had a 07 and now 2013 TL those cars have the best sound systems in the car game. Better than BMW Lexus Audi benz etc etc

It's like Acura focused heavily on the sound system
