The 2021+ front end looks sinister, but the ass end and the overall shape of the pre 21s actually look better to me. Throw in the v6 power and I think I might be sold.

This is VERY interesting. I figured the 19 TLX Aspec would take it. The 21 TLX already has a tune available. So what you gotta ask your self is, are you buying the car to race it? Or take it to the track? If yes, then buy a car that already comes with better performance than the TypeS and Aspec. Very good video again Sam!

I picked the TLX 2020 to be the overall winner. I purchased a new 2010 TL Tech SH-AWD (don't ever recall there being a 2010 A-SPEC, and it looks like the one featured here was wearing aftermarket exhaust tips/finishers) with a 6spd manual and replaced it with a 2019 A-SPEC V-6 SH-AWD after the TL was totaled in a collision caused by a 16 y/o. As fast as that TL was, I believe that even though my 2019 is rated with less horsepower and has a slightly smaller engine displacement, that the 2019 is quicker. I've driven the 2nd gen as a dealer loaner and as much as I like how quick it is, displacement of the V-6 over the I-4 turbo, along with the 2nd gen's heavier curb weight, I felt would prevail.

The TL SHAWD 3.7L (the silver car) when properly launched will run 0-60 in 5.2 with the MT. These tests only demonstrate one facet of comparative linear performance from a dig. For example, can we really say the car that traps first is the fastest when the losing car is actually running faster at the finish? Yes per that selected race distance, but mostly No. Extend the race and the losing car will overtake to win. Torque & traction wins the short sprints, but top end speed goes to superior hp-to-weight-ratio, to gearing & to lowest coefficient of drag.
