Gotcha. Tks.

I have seen the new TLX Definitely NOT a mid size.

What's crazy is it's HUGE on the outside but small on the inside. Back seat is tiny.

It appears they increased the dash to axle ratio, but it still has the huge overhang that's common to FWD transverse layout cars. That probably explains why the car is so big with smallish interior dimensions.

^^^^^^^^^ A number of reviewers are going ape-s**** over this car. I may have to stop by the Acura shop pretty soon (there's two Acura shops not that far from me) and have a look at it.

They are? Most I've seen have been unimpressed.

Judging by the term he used, maybe the reviewers were unimpressed

The ones I've seen (several different ones) are talking about it like it was made of gold. One guy, though, admittedly, in the videos, looks like he may be on Acura's payroll.

From all the reviews I have seen and read, most have been pretty positive, biggest complaint is that new touchpad setup that debuted on the RDX.

There's been plenty posted here that are not favorable at all. One even asked if the new TLX is already dead.

Most reviews have been, as someone mentioned before, "damning with faint praise."

The Jalopnik headline sums up pretty much the collective journalist attitude towards the TLX:

The 2021 Acura TLX Is An Incredible Stereo With A Damn Decent Car Attached
