Equipped with the same engine, it's slower than the Accord too.

Acura just kind of phoned it in on the TLX, especially compared to the new MDX which they know will be far more popular.

The TLX and TypeS comes with two engines:

Turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine (272 horsepower, 280 lb-ft of torque)
Turbocharged 3.0-liter V6 (355 hp, 354 lb-ft)

The one on Throttle House had the V6 option. The 2.0L is one of the engines used for the Accord 2.0T Sport, the regular Accord uses the 1.5LT. It's a shame, the weight really holds it back

Apparently the tlx s handling is good, but performance not so hot.

i really don't think the model s at least is going to do very well.

a friend just leased a reg tlx and she loves it, but got a 'good deal' apparently and was coming out of another older tlx so it's a nice upgrade.

Actually watch the Throttle house video on the Type S. They were disappointed by the handling as well

Is Throttle House just a you tube show? Or is it a real accredited publication?

It's a YouTube channel very professionally done with good production quality. Well, some of the time! They have the same recognition as Savagegeese and Redline reviews

Just YouTube but they are better than most with a million subs so it's high quality. One of the presenters is a race instructor so he sets the lap times with each car they test on his home track. They built up a lot of trust over the years with the car community so their word carries some weight.

You think isn’t reality. The complaints are the cost of maintaining some German cars not the reliability factor. Nissan is trash and not more reliable. BMW and Acura are tied . Again the B58 is used by Toyota for a reason.

Looks like all the bad press finally caught up to the TLX...

That is a shame. To me it is very easy on the eyes (exterior only), but too bad literally everything else is a hard pass.

It looks nice on the outside but considering it's size which is big for it's competition and it is small inside I have read many times, and I am sure an Acura buyer at the same dealer will look at the RDX and say hey this has so much more space, same engine not much more money at all let me go RDX and easier to park too especially in city streets , I honestly would be one of those buyers too might as well go RDX. Also too many people think Honda Accord still when they see the TLX which has way more space, lower price and power is better I think I could be wrong.

Which is a shame, since it's by the company that brought us the Legend. ...A Legend in its own time I guess.

I wonder how the new Integra will sell.

That was a long long long time ago. Too bad for the TLX, it does look pretty good. Does this mean a good deal can be had on one?
