Acura hits the luxury sport sedan bull’s-eye with the all-new TLX.

This has got to be the best looking Acura in years.

From what I have read, this car is selling like hot cakes. It seems to be worth the price, congrats to Acura,

I own this exact configuration: 2.4 w/ tech and I love it. Yes, not as fun to drive as a 328 but I don't want to pay the price of a 328. I believe their 0-60 is accurate but conditions must have been off or poor weather. I live in Southern California and can get this around 7 seconds.

The car handles great and love how comfortable and quiet the car is on long trips. Happy with my purchase and with Acura's product. Well done, Acura.

This guy sounds like he should be on a TV game show. Not as the host, but as the guy who announces all the fabulous prizes that are waiting to be won.

In my line of work, I drive a lot. On average, 30-35 thousand miles annually. I enjoy driving a luxury car that won't break my wallet. Acura cars suit me perfectly. Sure they may not have the razor sharp driving dynamics of a 3 series or an A4 but that is of little interest to me. I drive a car to about 200 to 250 thousand miles before is get a new one. In my personal experience, no BMW or Audi was able to last this long without spending huge sums of money in repairs. Once my BMW or my MB hit the century mark, the cost of repairs and up keep became way too expensive.

No one does reviews better than the original, concise and straight to the gut.  A very nice car that's great to drive.

Great looking car. I wish they tested the V6 though.

[itsmegp]

Did he say showroom confusion? Regarding the TSX and the TL? He's got to be kidding us. Has he ever seen BMW's convoluted model line up?

[ThePinoyMamba]

what a great review and I agree that the V6 SHAWD is the way to go. This is car could last forever unlike it's competitor which will give you headaches as soon as they reach 50k.
acura is made in USA and I love to support my country and feels good about it that my car could be so exciting and luxurious and yet very at ease to know that it is very reliable daily commuter.

Saw this car tonight and it was very nice to look at. All you that come here to hate on Acura and everything else you can hate on the Internet.  Get a life!

Nowadays almost every luxury automaker are getting rid of amber turn signals in the back in favor of red turn signals. Which means that whatever car they make, the tail lights from one vehicle will look like the other vehicle. Amber turn signals in the back are better instead of red, because it's easy to tell if you're signaling to make a turn or lane change. Red is for brake lights and tail lamps at night or conditions with harsh visibility.

I just got one v6 and I like it a lot specially when I drive it on sport + lol

[jimmbobb]

It looks beautiful driving down the road!!

[Lawagoalie]

I love how this is a sport luxury car meant for an everyday driver and people comment about how this lacks track performance. This is a road car, not a track car. You'd look pretty funny taking any current generation Acura to a track and that's because Acura doesn't care about the track other than the nsx. It's a sport luxury meant for the road so review based off of that not the track.

The2015 Acura TLX with 2.4L engine is amazing balance of performance and efficiency.  Outperforms the European competitors..

[mercsr]

I have read most of the comments below and you can say whatever you like. Bottom line, Honda/Acura equals bullet proof reliability!

[Fussinated]

TLX made a recall on V6 models using 9 Speed ZF transmission that is the only major German part on TLX. The 8 Speed Acura built DCT with Torque converter working perfectly fine, though. There is your German engineering for you in comparison to Japanese Engineering. If the situation is reversed the Japanese engineer designed those faulty transmissions would have committed HAR-KIRI, while the German engineer may go and start working for Hyundai or Kia .. IF they admitted/he admitted his mistakes/unethical conduct.

Germans cant match luxury or quality of Acura. Here in Europe apart from Mercedes S series their interior is all clad with plastic. This is a great car with solid reliability. If I was in US I would definitely go for it

[alexschmithorst]

He said the 2.4L's base price of $31, 890 is a few grand less than a BMW 320i. What is the 320i's base price?
