No rear vents and same infotainment as the Civic at over $50k, true luxury💪

50k for a facking integra. Good luck with that, Honduh

[Bruce.-Wayne]

What a beautiful machine....good luck getting one at MSRP without the sick dealership Markups

[sammacintyre]

This is one of the nicest and best looking daily’s ever. Think about it, it tries to blend everything together. Family car, sports car, luxury, comfort, top notch sound system, quick but not overkill for the street. The most dependable car manufacturer in the world.

50k for a fwd 4 cylinder sports sedan ? Manufacturers are wild with their new car prices.

[alphabeta]

For that kind of MSRP, add a sunroof, SHAWD and +30HP, then we’d be talking.

That kinda dough for a small FWD rebadged CTR is bizarre.

I LOVE this car! Acura hit it out of the park with this one. I hope to add one to the garage soon.

[ShermanMR]

So what you’re saying is the type S will probably hit dealerships at about 70K after dealer manipulation.

Acura TLX Type S owner here.. Acura quality and reliability is not where it seems to be. I owned the Aspec 2021 tlx and had a bunch of electrical issues (carplay, puddle lights, steering rack, speakers ect) Now i have the Type S and have TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. They already replaced one and the new one is acting up. Just letting everyone know.

Acura/Honda, has benefited a great deal from Honda racing by designing the best chassis and suspension and drivetrain refinements, I hope the creativity will continue.

[marvinmurakami]

This car looks good in any color but the blue and the gold ones look the best.

[tomzz]

Not sure where the $50K goes into.
Sure you get a beefier engine with a more aggressive exterior.
But that interior is the same as in a $30K Civic Touring....lol

[ninji]

As a car lover, and a dad of twins, I say long live the sports sedan!!!

[johnx]

I love the concept.
Insane HP from a 4 cylinder engine. I like the looks more than I thought I would and sounds like they sorted out the suspension. Just not sure I’m ready to spend that much for a near luxury fwd car with a 4 cylinder engine. All that being said, I will hold off my final opinion until I drive it.

[videogazer]

The dealership down my street has one marked up. $75k

[lobsterwhisperer]

WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DO ANOTHER RETRO MARATHON! THEY ROCK.

[redriver]

For $52k you can get a CPO Mercedes C43 with a Twin Turbo 385hp V6, AWD and a wayyy nicer interior 😅

cuz over 50k for a FWD tiny engine with a civic interior is WILD

I've watched a few videos from reviewers that were invited to this press release, and the results have been uniformly good. This particular one is a spec I'd choose. Granted, the dealers will shaft you on it with an absurd markup, but hey...I can dream...and then buy a G70 instead.

[grantmills]

Cool in concept, but I’m not a big fan of the shape(mostly the rest end) nor the price. Still, at least there’s another sporty, manual transmission gasoline car on the market, that is rather fun to drive. I’d just go with a ctr though

[texan]

While a fine car of top shelf quality, and the fact that I would love one, the price is simply too steep for the asking price. I'd step up a class and buy more car for the money.
