The audio in this video was recorded with in-ear binaural microphones, headphones are highly recommended!

I'm also the producer for the Winding Road YouTube Channel:

Thanks for watching!

I love how softly Topher speaks, it makes me realize how loud and obnoxious other car reviewers are

[JJS]

Love your neutral reviews, it’s quite refreshing. Too many reviewers out there tryna be somebody by hating on vehicles.

[metal]

This will be the first channel I check when the Type S comes out!

[curtisjaxon]

That sound system is on a whole another world..

The moment you floored it on the on-ramp, I knew I was buying this car. I did, and I have loved every minute I’ve spent in it. Thanks for all the great reviews. Keep up the good work.

[basithph]

The new TLX is indeed a stunning car!
Can’t wait to see Type S!

[alicebate]

That is the most convincing engine sound enhancement I've ever heard! I'd definitely be fooled if I didn't know it was a 4 cylinder!

*I’m so glad that they finally changed the interior.* ❤️

[garretcgriffin]

Honestly dude, you are the best car reviewer. Such a unique fresh perspective

[coolshariq]

I'm huge Acura/ Honda fan I'm glad Acura is back on track back in 90's when they were making innovation and technology now they're bringing same excitement back 😎👍

For anyone who really values a strong audio system, I have to say, I resonate with your views on the ELS 3D Studio stuff. I had a 2020 Loaner RD-X for a short week and it really is shocking how ear-popping that system is. Especially the roof speakers.

[frankb]

I’m extremely impressed with this car. It’s so different from anyone else. What a sound from the engine and sound system.

I'm driving 2011 MDX already a year and I can say I love it! This is my first Acura. Actually I didn't even know there is such a brand in the market before I got it. Even back then they made ELS sound system perfect! It has 11 speakers and it sounds just amazing. I can only imagine how it gonna sound in 2021 model. Much respect u Acura. It is deffinitely my brand!

[SotoDolo]

You really make people wanna buy cars :) The stereo sold me <3

[dimi]

OMG!!! A high-end car with an analog Tach and Speedo! 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

The way that it should be!

[derrickjoness]

Wow Acura really upped their game with this one! I actually think I like this more then the IS officially now

[jarrettbuell]

When he's got the music going and then floors it at that redlight 🤣🔥 the man is living

[SotoDolo]

My birthday is tomorrow and this was an early gift. Thank You Topher!

[patwickgriff]

Chris, it's always a privilege listening and watching your reviews! You are fantastic!

[RobHigdon]

I think it's hilarious how everyone is shitting on the new TLX! Everyone is crying about how it's not "fast enough." They miss the bigger picture. This vehicle is all about BALANCE!! It's a well balanced package for the price! It's not a drag car, it's not a Bentley, it's not a $100k car. It's for people who love sophistication and style, along with ENOUGH performance to get the job done. It's an amazing edition to the sedan lineup!
