The real Zonk is the TLX-S As big as a fullsize car with an interior that has less volume than a Integra. The trunk space is less and to make things worse. Two huge braces preven you from folding down the seats and gain some more storage space. A car that makes no sense.

[@blackphenomenon]

@@Marbind Came here to say this. So disappointing honestly in what could be a great platform. I have had the TLX as a loaner from Acura and my tiny kids are cramped in the backseat. It's a terrible use of space where they could have leveraged more of the Accord platform where you can cross your legs in the back. How does the Integra have more space than the larger TLX? Reminds me of when the Altima became bigger than the Maxima.

@@TheCallRocks False Is close but not the same. Hyundai decision of using their own brakes, non wide body, non wide tires among many other corner cutting practices make this car inferior. According to C&D the EN DCT takes 20ft longer to stop from 100mph compared to the ITS. That IS A LOT. If Hyundai decides to fix this things the price will be similar to a CTR. The only exception is in straight line acceleration but only for the DCT EN. It is cheaper but those little things add up against the EN.

I had the 2023 Aspec manual and I thought I overpaid for that even tho I got it for MSRP. Obviously this is an amazing machine and at the end of the day you have to pay to play but for the money it’s still missing some features you’ll find on cheaper cars. Also, my interior panels started falling apart within the first 6 months of ownership so idk how well built this thing is, but mechanically was fine.
