I think the value prop for this is when it's 3 years old. Zero chance I'd want an S4 or 340i off warranty, but I'd have no worries about this.

Bingo!

You mean you don’t want a 700$ magnetic shock to replace?

Will see. Still a 1st ever twin turbo V6 from AHM and Acura is basically an American car at this point.

Canada is only getting 240 units for MY2021

I agree with this, can’t just assume it will be a quality car because it’s Acura. My parents had a 2004 and it was not typical Honda quality.

Acura always seems to be a half step behind it’s competition when it comes to performance and NVH but priced lower. In this case it looks like the price isn’t much better than it’s competitors.

The Infiniti Q50 Red Sport looks more appealing, to me. It's that a competitor or have I accidentally compared an orange to a Cummins?

From the US reviews, it seems to be about 10k below the comparable spec S4, M340 etc. I think the product offering is good (similar to what the Type S was before), but a step down from what the Germans are offering. Probably 90% of the car for 85% of the price kind of thing. People might make the same comparison to the TLX-S vs the Stinger GT. This is a tough segment to compete in, Genesis, Infiniti, Cadillac also offering some interesting propositions. If the IS 500 ends up costing only a little more, its going to make it even tougher.

I was happy with the interior in the RDX A-Spec, but I have to say some of the color combos for the TLX-S in the interior look very Canadian Tire sports package.

comparable. very close in price. has more HP, but Classic Nissan/Infiniti old car no updating.

It's good that Acura isn't making a lot of these as they would have to discount them heavily as they are too big, heavy, and slow for the money relative to it's competition. Who would have thought the day would come that Honda would be making sport model engines with a 6200 RPM redline. Hondas these days are no more reliable than most brands to I just don't see the point in buying a vehicle like this especially when BMW has upped their reliability significantly over the last decade.

Yeah the Acura forums were pointing out that you can pick/choose the interiors but are stuck up here being locked to the exterior colour choice. I don't even think we get the Orchid 2-tone on any of them which would be my choice over "porno red".

Really disappointed with this and it makes no sense really. Being locked to the red interior with the white exterior on my RDX would have been a deal killer for me.

The price of accessories has also jumped up, even floor mats and badging are more expensive with no "bundle deals"

But Red Interior > Black Interior for all the colours.

N54 debut in 2005. They are literally 16 years behind the curve. BUT, as the Germans are now downsizing to 4 bangers, having a TTv6 may make it stand out.

Again, it's the same problem Genesis is fighting. It's may have a $10K less MSRP compared to Germans, but when it comes to leasing it's the same price as Germans.

If the auto makers would go back to using it tastefully as an accent colour, yes.

Looks pretty tasteful to me although I think red interior works best with white, black, and grey. I think a grey or tan interior would look the best with a blue exterior. I find black leather interiors to look a little drab.

[Pauly Boy]

Here's the Orchid from the NSX, that would be so much better than the red or straight black options.

[heavyD]

That's your opinion though as it doesn't play well off silver in that interior. I would take red, tan, or black over that color as a lot of people don't want to have to wash denim transfer or other stains off their seats monthly.

[K3RMiTdot]

The restriction in interior colors is only in Canada. You can pretty much do whatever combo in the US
