The 2021 Acura TLX Type S ($62,375 CAD, $54,645 USD) has some stiff competition out of Korea in this drag race. Beside it is the newly facelifted 2022 Genesis G70 3.3T ($59,000 CAD, $51,445 USD) and its direct relative the Kia Stinger GT ($52,995 CAD, $43,690 USD). All three cars make similar power from a turbo’d engine, and all three are all-wheel drive. This should be an interesting race - things aren’t always what you expect when you line up on the strip! Watch to see what happens! SUBSCRIBE
A big thank you to Mike from Markham Acura for bringing his TLX Type S

I really hope they bring back the coupe. I bought my '12 3.8 r-spec coupe brand new a decade ago. Had ONE serious issue with it...the clutch stopped coming back up after it was depressed. I took it to the dealership and they fixed it, no money out of my pocket and no hassle. So far, it's been the best large purchase I've ever made aside from my house. I just really prefer coupes over sedans though.

@@tizodd6 Whoa.. that's pretty bad for the clutch pedal to not come back up! I had a 2013 2.0T in a 6MT, where the DMF was so clunky and annoying that I decided to trade-in for a 2013 2.0T 8AT. It ran fine for a good while then at 120K miles I had engine knocking, which was taken care of by Hyundai, but after a while some other ticking noise started to appear. Then I was told by Hyundai that my brakes were binding, which I had fixed. Then my keyless entry went out. I had enough spending money on an Asian car and went German.

Its a sports sedan. You think people watch drag races before buying onw of these? As long as they're well screwed together and the performance is more or less on par, no one will care its 0.5s slower... In my opinion, there's almost no other car as balanced as this TLX right now if you look for a sports D segment sedan. Its not the best at anything but it doesnt really have any actual flaws either.

It’s a few things. The weight, the transmission never starting in first gear, the car automatically upshifting in manual mode when redline is hit. As some people would say the Type S handles probably the best out of everyone( Haven’t really heard it though), better tuning, and a horsepower increase would be nice. Only other issue is people comparing it to a M3 even though they said it was not a M3 competitor, it’s a M340i competitor

@@goldendevereaux Agreed it's definitely many things, my biggest concern is how fat it is as that is the enemy of a sporty sedan. Even if massive power was thrown at it and it went fast in a straight line it would still need a diet to handle better. 4221lbs is only 191lbs lighter than my 4412lb 2012 Honda Odyssey ex, that is embarrassing. Let me build a better one real quick drop 500 lbs, give more power to the rear wheels, tune the transmission and give it 50 more hp. Done, you're welcome Acura.

It's all about preparation that takes a long time. Hyundai has been buying Steel Foundries, hiring designers, and retooling factories so they start 2020 strong. Car makers have ups and downs depending on their investments and product life cycle. As the 20s progress, other vehicle makers will make competitive vehicles. Take for instance Toyota that is starting to release vehicles which don't look hideous.

Owner of a 2018 Stinger GT1 in ceramic grey and still loving it after 3 years. And people still comment on it. You will get a lot of admiration for its looks, especially the grey color, and the number one question, what car is that? It's the perfect blend of fun, spirited driving and everyday practicality.

Shit I still remember the Legends, and buddy in HS back then (I'm 39 lol) had the Type 2 Coupe with 6 speed which was 92-94 I believe. Last good Acura was that mid 2000s TL-Type S (manual also) and than Acura went full potato after with everything. Even recently a neighbor bought the new RDX and I'm like whyyyy, just ribbing him, like I was like you paid what for this thing? Course one of my vehicles is a Platinum F150 and he fired back with that but I have the glorious gem Coyote tuned (let alone whipple 2.9 at 650rwhp+ coming for it), 4dr 10 speed rocket screaming 7k rpm Murica noises and still gets great mileage for a V8 truck, I tow 6-8k lbs, super comfortable especially on long drives, my leather makes the leather in that Acura look like it came from a plastic factory (he has A Spec), infotainment is garbage vs Sync 3 and AA integration and I think they had to replace his as there was some class action suit against them for that. No wonder Acura been struggling floundering these last 10 years or so, they went full potato and then dropped the ball on the new TL given the hype for it.

Great job with this drag race! For weeks, journalists have compared the TLX to their competition, and we finally get to see the outcome between the G70. What's surprising is the Stinger. For the price, that Stinger definitely makes cross shopping difficult in that segment. Genesis interior rivals the Germans and Japanese for the most luxurious, especially in terms of standard feature. Those seat designs are by far one of the most LUX. For what's it worth, the TLX does sound better? Haha

The Stinger results shouldn't be surprising. Mechanically, it's the same as the G70, but it's 6 inches longer, 1 inch wider, and weighs 150 lbs more, so the slight win by the G70 was predictable. If I were to choose between the G70 and the Stinger, I'd take the Stinger because it has more back seat room, lots more usable cargo space with the liftback design, costs a little less, and to me it's a more sporty looking and attractive vehicle.

Experience of ownership long term is very different than brand new comparisons of raw performance numbers. Living with your performance car daily, fit and finish, resale value retention, modification potential, and much more are massive criteria much missed by channels like this (I can name a few that follow their recipe). I gauranteee that this channel would have shit on my 2009 s2k. When I bought it new, I got laughed at, reviews said it was outdated, people said it was too overpriced. And I'm here laughing cuz...I don't have to spell it out for you. Same shit was said about the original tl type s. Now people are paying used stinger money for cars over a decade old. Think big picture. As much as I enjoy this channel, their reviews are superficial. Present value. Anyways. I own a type s and traded my stinger in for it. It's a far better vehicle day in and day out. Living with the stinger is better than the g70. Living with the type s is a very different experience...especially with weather. Also i own a 2021 GLE midnight edition. Living with the car is hell. It's a piece of crap. I leased the vehicle because of this channel. It is horrid to live with. This channel is entertaining. Hence why I am subscribed. But I no longer take it seriously. It's for quick thrills, reminds me of people buying stocks with fomo on the rise and not at the dip.

As soon as I saw a Stinger I clicked thumbs-up, no matter the outcome of the race. But then again, I'm a little biased, I love my Chroma Red Stinger GT Limited. I thought the G70 might win just because of its slight weight advantage over the Stinger with the same HP and torque. But I was expecting the Acura to perform a little better though, especially for around $10K more than the Stinger?
