To be fair, it is substantially larger on the outside than a 3 Series. Since Acura said something about benchmarking the Audi A7, maybe the price makes more sense in comparison to a BMW 4GC or Audi A5 Sportback. It all depends on how successfully they can market this vehicle to be seen as a 4-door-coupe competitor.

CT5 is seen as a 3-Series competitor too despite being a substantially larger tweener like the TLX. I strongly believe that the Type S reception will be very similar to that of the CT5-V. Neither have the performance of a 3-Series or the luxury appointments of a 5-Series, but they're an acceptable middle ground for the same price as an equivalently equipped 3-Series.

70K is loaded M340i money and even then, it's alot. Mine was a hair over 60. This Acura shouldn't exceed 55k, it's an inferior product and Acura simply lacks the cachet to sell at that price. Still don't see the Acura appeal when the Stinger is better in all categories.

Who would pay for it? I'm not sure, but the Civic Type R flies out the dealerships at $40K.

I don't think the top package is going to be above 60K, rumors are Type S is around 54K, highest optioned around high 50's. No way are they going to slap a 70K price on a loaded one, I don't even think the RLX hybrid got to 70K.

I don't think it'll hit $70K, but fully loaded, assuming Acura lets you load all the options on the Type S, I would expect this to be between $65-70K.

Lol, nobody in their right mind would pay 60/70k for a FWD Acura sedan with faux tech SH-AWD which is junk compared to the competition's AWD. Those will sit on lots and then they're forced to sell at 20k discount. Acura would be dumb to price it that high.

Which means 72-75k here in Canada. 😅
For that price, I'd rather get a muscle car or lease a BMW/Mercedes/Audi.
