The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence, I guess. I have the G70 3.3 T. And while I like the interior, I actually like the interior in the TLX a bit better, just on looks. In terms of style, I think it will age better than the G70's.

You are becoming my favorite car reviewer as you explain the driving dynamics in detail with no rush. Keep it this way.

The selection of cars in this video is perfect!

Lexus IS350 vs Acura TLX comparison is also so good. 👍

your comparison tests are the most informative in the business

@CarGurus: Cliff, thanks for not crapping all over the G70 just because there have not been a lot of updates. It is a terrific car, even though Kia/Hyundai is no longer putting development dollars into it, since it's not selling that well. I really like the 2023 I have. Where the car is at its best is on mountain road curves. It's impossible to understand how good it is until you drive it in that context, or maybe on a track, tho it's kinda heavy for extensive track use, no?

Love my 2.0 stinger from 2020! RWD sun and sound pack!

I said it many times in regards to the TLX and I'll say it again.

Other than having a little less power, its one the best in it's class. Its a similar dynamic to another brand like lexus, mazda, or infiniti vs Genesis. The g70 may be faster or have a nicer interior but the acura is better made, better feeling and looks more sporty.

The TLX would definitely be MY buy of the two

[keithjackson]

This is a good review. The G70 is clearly the better performing car.

[canadabear]

The G70 is actually a proper rwd sport sedan and by most accounts, one of the best handling cars in segment. The TLX is a modified fwd Honda. They're not really the same thing. Both great imo. But not the same flavor.

[drowzi]

So, on a twisty back road, which wins?

[i.d.]

The G70 3.3T, is more luxury while tlx more of like aggressive sporty and yet the G70 3.3T is faster by alot and tuning potential is solid, with few bolt ons you're at 450whp easy. (Sam did race stinger G70 and TLX type S all stock). Acura has nice front end but side profile is meeh, and it's very long

[plm]

Its tough. A buyer in this class makes compromises. Both are fast enough to be fun but you want a car you can live with and not just quick.

[RedlineGaming]

6:52 Acura no longer has an NA V6 for TLX.

Put links to the photography equipment you use, devices and software so that those who like your work can find them + you can earn some money because of these links

Got a G70 top of the mook model
Way more for the money

Small turbos spool up quick off the line

As a G70 owner, it is a great car but has downsides. There is too much body roll than you'd expect for a sport sedan. I need to get swaybars at the least. Brake feel isn't great. The brembos will stop you but you need to change out the pads and maybe rotors to avoid the common brake pulsing issue. Sound isn't great. Doesn't sound like an organic 6 cylinder. The competition definitely sounds better. Also the fuel economy is bad but no one can compete with the B58. Other than that, it's a great driving car. Steering is heavy and organic. It'll oversteer even in AWD form. Power will surprise you. Looks are unique. Suspension is good overall but just needs some help with body roll. Transmission tuning is good too for non ZF 8 speed. Features are good too for the money. Bottom line, you need to put a little money into it and it'll be on par with M340i if not better in some ways.

Genesis G70's interior and exterior are modern, yet timeless. G70 looks like it's an entire class above any vehicle in Acura's lineup. In my opinion, Acura hasn't offered an elegantly styled car since it discontinued the lovely 1992-1995 generation Acura Legend.

[joshharrison]

there's another issue you did not raise: you can walk into any Genesis dealer and find a G70 3.3T. Good luck finding a TLX Type S. So I'm going to assume you can get a better deal on the Genesis.

[Skydawg]

Actually, the G70 blows doors on the TLX Type S in a drag race.

[PsychicMedium]

Both attractive....but Acura would be my
