[@namdrah69]

I worked in the Weld department where we build the bodies on these TLX's, the body is built like a tank, way heavier than the current CRV and ILX. The Accord chassis preceded the TLX and it is also a very robust structure. Every new model has to follow the latest crash ratings which require much more engineering to keep the body as light as possible but maintain the latest 5 star crash ratings. So the new TLX has some new technological components that are the first to be used on Honda's mass produced body structures.

Typically over 70% of sub components made in the US and then all put together by mainly US workers in the Ohio factory. Can't get much more US than that. If Honda can motivate their direct associates (they don't call them employees) and indirect associates (over 400 companies within the US supply components to their product lines) to aim for a 100% quality level, so can other companies regardless of product line.

[@tomdolgin5441]

You’re absolutely correct! If Honda/Acura would have had Brembo make a new rear caliper design for the electronic parking brake, other features would have been taken away from what is in the car now, in order for the books to balance for the $55,000 price.

And the gas mileage from the new Turbo 4 cylinder is considerably worse than the old V6 in real world driving. If you are considering a TLX get a used 2020 or wait a couple of years for them to fix the problems.

@Roberto Vidal Garcia well, as i said, im coming from a 2010 civic, and while i have looked a some benz's, they just dont have the same features i want for that price point. Plus, it'll be way cheaper to service a tlx than a benz, as well as more reliable. The sound system alone was a huge reason why im looking at the tlx, as im an audiophile and there's no other car in that segment that has something like it. The quality of the interior will be a significant upgrade and while not on a benz level, it wont feel cheap by any means. And in my opinion i like the interior design a lot more than a c-class.

[@MH-im4oh]

Finally opened your eyes. Honda still cares about drivability and handling. Toyota with its lazy (but "reliable") engines are overrated; they offer nothing new with their vehicles.

[@justinthaw-bolton3142]

You should check out the 4 cylinder TLX aspec. I think Acura should have kept naturally aspirated 6 cylinder for the base engine in the TLX.

[@ronkhan8163]

Never buy acura models are worst and expensive to repair. Dashboards are made from hard plastic leather thingi like crocs butt. Polish them but doest shine. Acura sensors are worst. Hondas are good but stay away from thier so called luxury brand acura,s. It's a money pit.

[@HULKHOGAN1]

Honda really made a fan out of me with Acura TSX (Accord Euro CU2 in Australia). It’s a damn shame they killed it off, leaving us with the regular Accord and Civic etc. This is the type of car if consider buying brand new

[@morganroberts8368]

Audi has been making all of that for years…. Glad Honda finally caught up.

[@MiniatureMasterClass]

Audi reliability is garbage. They need to catch up to Honda. Probably never happen.

[@shaynesbuzzworld3391]

And I bet those Type S wheels are highly at risk to be stolen too.

[@zzanatos2001]

Stealing wheels is still a thing? Who is going to buy them? Why wouldn't they just steal the whole car? There are only a few hundred TLX Type S currently in existence.

[@shaynesbuzzworld3391]

@@zzanatos2001 if you’ve seen vids on titkok it happens all the time. Mostly it’s acuras, Hondas, Toyota and Lexus. Anything worth a lot. They Jack them up and stolen in a matter of minutes. Make an easy $1000 fast. It’s really sad. The wheels are in demand and even wheel locks won’t stop thieves.

It is a very nice car no doubt. The Accord Sport is probably a better value, but of course no AWD on that. If you've got the money, can't really go wrong with the Acura.

So what Scotty. You even said Acura ain’t as reliable as Honda or how Toyota and Lexus are both reliable. What’s so special?

Currently in Greece for a vacation the thing with the dealerships overcharging isn't only a US problem I went to a toyota dealership and they asked 50k euro for the new gr86 and the gr supra (that's the 2l one) was 15k more (I promised my nephew a car for his 18th birthday but I'm not paying 50k for a brz)

Toyota for quality, craftsmanship, reliability, durability, dependability, performance, highest resale value, longevity and piece of mind.

Only downside about Honda/Acura V6 engines is that they’re still using timing belts to this day. Even the TLX Type-S and MDX/MDX Type-S uses timing belts. Don’t understand why they can’t just switch over to a timing chain.

[@za9737]

Might be more maintenance but it’s quieter engine than a chain, once you drive one and see how they pull. Last thing you’ll complain about is why it has a timing belt believe me 😂✌🏻

[@Nightwish1773]

They're being cheap!

[@robmalcolm8042]

Foreal? I thought newer Honda engines were chains even Hyundais and Kia’s used belts for a while until maybe 2010 ish

[@fordfocusperson]

@@robmalcolm8042 Honda uses timing chains on their 4 cylinder engines, but every V6 engine they ever make has an timing belt. Even 2022 Honda/Acura V6 engines still have them.
