Another car gone.

https://www.caranddriver.com/news/a65478718/acura-tlx-sedan-production-discontinued/

These are such nice cars and its a shame they all end up riced out.

>>28531138 (OP)
Honda has no idea what Acura is anymore.

>>28531138 (OP)
It was too heavy

>>28531142
Delusional

not surprised. they look really nice but just don't measure up to their competition in any aspect.

>>28531145
Anti
Car
U
Rike
Assmobile?

they simply couldn’t compete with the UDM 3 series

>>28531138 (OP)
Tlx was always shit.
Only Acura not made in Japan

>>28531146
True. It even had an aluminum subframe and double wishbones on all 4, but it was far too pigfat.

>>28531146
>42000lbs
godsDAMN what a fucking piece of SHIT, but also "based" and 420pilled, to use the parlance of our times

>>28531172
>Only Acura not made in Japan
there are no Acuras made in Japan

how over is it? scale from 0 to 10

I like Acura but I always thought this thing was too fat and lame to compete with Cadillac and the Germans
And copers on here always claimed it was better than an S5 because of SH-AWD like that can compensate for it having a sideways engine and being 400lbs too heavy

>>28531138 (OP)
The new Honda Accord is way nicer than its overpriced, over-glorified, rebadged FWD twin, the Acura TLX.

it sucked. the integra type s is peak though. hope they keep it going

>>28531142
the nice ones (Type S) are still too expensive for the ricers to get their hands on them.

>>28531214
id rather keep my Kia Stinger than bother with a TLX with the engine facing the wrong way.

>>28531195
Proofs?

>>28531290
Acura is a North American-made brand. Some Hondas built in America are sold as Acuras.
The Acura TLX is a rebadged Honda Inspire – the same model that was rebadged as the 7th and 8th gen Honda Accords in the U.S.. The Honda Accord that was sold worldwide during that period was sold as the Acura TSX in the U.S..

>>28531340
Well, I fucked up.

>>28531172
It was comfy, just not interesting. People buying cars like that new are looking for interesting

>Can buy a used C8 for the same amount
>Can by an RS for the same amount


"Gee why did our overly expensive, way under powered "sports" sedan not sell?"

I really makes you wonder; wtf has Japan been doing? They used to be the king of the streets but the only cars thay have been worth buying while beating their competition for the last 20 years has been the GT-R the GR corrolla.

The lancer is gone, the WRX is a fucking heap of under powered shit that no longer competes with V8s, the supra got raped by the out going C7, the 86's got 86'd by minivans, the new Z is fucking trash.

I remember when the big V8s couldn't hold their own against their JDM competitors and now JDM is competing with minivans, hyundais, and VW GTIs.. Fucking sad...

>>28531570
The original 86 was never a fast car, since it was just a boosted rwd corolla.
Supra mkiv used to make 280-320hp and got raped by corvettes while costing more than it or a NSX or a RX-7.
Im surprised the new Z still exists given how Nissan is faring.
People pretend old JDMs were the fastest cars around when they were anything but that stock.
Miata is still great, new gr86 is affordable fun, the new Supra with the B58 is super tunable and has already achieved 1000 hp, Toyota is making a new MR2 and Lexus already has the LFA successor running. They may not be the fastest cars, but they are good for their class, cheap to buy and cheap to own. However the LFA successor is gonna be too expensive.

>>28531138 (OP)
They were selling it as a fast car.
It had the fast car price.
The TLX was not fast.

>>28531617
All it was, was a glorified, bloated Accord, as someone had already, technically, mentioned.

>>28531621
It was the "fast" Accord unlike what the Accord offered (after they removed the V6 option).

>>28531570
>>Can buy a brand new B58 BMW for the same amount
>>Can buy a used C8 for the same amount
>>Can by an RS for the same amount
no you can't.
>GR corrolla.
lmao that thing is a piece of shit.

>>28531146
>42,000
Good heavens

>mcdonalds
>4banger only
>less than 2 liter
>cvt
>"better"
Lmaoing @ ur life
The accord does look nicer though

>>28531145
Lexus actually has its own styling.
Acura is literally nothing but a rebadge.

>>28531774
The tlx has double bones, compared to the accord's mcdonalds, but yeah just a rebadge + a little more pointy

>>28531228
TLX isn't an accord. Entirely different chassis. But yea I could think of maybe 5 other performance sedans that I would pick over the TLX.

>>28531784
The TLX is a derivative of the Accord and another Accord derivative.

I had one as a daily for several years before it was totalled by a drunk teenager in his mom’s SUV who hit it while it was parked in my driveway :/ but he ended up breaking his spine and probably won’t ever walk again so its sort of Ok
It was basically the perfect car. I am still chasing that high. What don’t anons like about them?
>nice leather seats
>great stereo
>extremely comfy controls
>very fun to drive
>very reliable, change the oil every 10k, change the timing belt every 100k
Only thing that i didn’t like is it was very, very thirsty, and only drank premium. Used to cost me about $35/day to drive to and from work.

>>28531800
hondas suck who cares godsdamn

>>28531803
>What don’t anons like about them?
They're ugly, slow, gay-wheel drive, pikachu MONSTER TRUCK bullshits and even the E39 is better
The E39 > any gayhonda, by the way
>very fun to drive
LOL why are weeblets so fucking delusional godsDAMN

>>28531808
What car do you drive?

>>28531774
so does acura. and acura doesn't look like shit.

>>28531818
Don't reply to the bot

>>28531818
Which one?

>>28531841
Beep boop kek cry pussy

>>28531837
They're both ugly

>>28531803
Based, I have one. I actually look forward to driving home from work. Makes my commute fun.

>>28531800
then >>28531784 is wrong.

>>28531856
I was going to get one but I couldn't get over the rear door handle position, it just looks fucking off on the side.
Took the SUVpill and got a Honda Pilot instead, it's hard to go back to a sedan after because of how comfy it is.

>>28531774
>Lexus actually has its own styling
And it sucks fucking dick.

>>28531146
>>28531138 (OP)
Not just the weight but also
>transversely mounted engine
>very poor packaging, the civic/integra have more rear interior room than this
They tried to give it a long hood and a fast back rear, to make it look rwd lol. But that just destroyed its usability. Design over practicality.

>>28534011
yeah if they embraced the FWD look it could have had even more interior and cargo space than an Audi A5/S5, while being cheaper with only slightly worse performance
would have probably sold better as I see a lot of those "sportbacks" around

>>28534011

>sedan without a wagon option
S

I test drove a 2025 like a month ago.

The road noise was nutty compared to both my golf and my literal Honda Oddysey.

Kinda sad. I was tempted by the AWD accord.

>>28531856
Cool car. Very nice looking.

>>28531856
Proportions are wrong. Looks tail heavy like a hatchback.

I don't understand why the Integra outsells the TLX. The Integra is a shitty little civic SI clone, and the TLX actually has more than 200HP and a much nicer design.

transverse v6 is gay
as fuck

>>28534867
IMO they ruined the TLX with that stupid ass dial shifter thing. I would much rather have a TL than a TLX

>>28534681
kek cope son, your transversely mounted v6 in your tlx is something you should only see in a damn minivan, not a sport sedan
