2021 Acura TLX Type S Goes On Sale Tomorrow

@Steve_nj - Forget the Type S. However, you can probably get a good deal on a TLX A-Spec. I know those are two different cars, but unless you have money to burn on a Type S lease this year, I would not even bother.

What is your budget? What monthly payment along with money due at signing are you realistically expecting on this brand new car?

36/12k 58% RV 0.0016 MF (3.84%)

Thats impressive… $850/mo after a 5% discount.

At those prices whenever I’ll see one I’ll try to sell a bridge or 2 to the person

Where are people finding M3s and S6’s for 850 a month, effective, in this current market?

I think the sentiment (at least what I was trying to portray) was that if the European luxury counterpart to the Type S can be had for $200-300 more per month, I’m personally gonna make that swing to have the superior of the two vehicles.

For someone on a very strict budget maybe not so much but it would be tough to see myself spending $700-$800 per month on a performance based Acura before just swinging $1,000 for an M3.

This is a completely different statement, the car is not for you, then.

You’re effectively saying you’d rather spend 6 to 9k more on a comparable German car over the term of the lease. If money were no object then I’d agree with you, I would always take the superior product if I were okay paying its price.

Anyone paying over 60k for an acura tlx type S is a stupid consumer.

Just literally take your money and throw it in the garbage. The market is ridiculous. This entire bubble with inflated prices everywhere will break violently to the downside.

IDK why you come to a forum to say the same thing 15x a day for 3 weeks straight now.

LOL Bruh took everyones thoughts and put it out here.

Most people shopping performance models aren’t always necessarily so payment focused, it’s about the better value and more superior car.

I haven’t driven a Type S yet but I think it’s a tough sell at 55-60K and a $700 per month lease payment.

As soon as someone heres $700 + per month the logic for many would be that you may as well just spend a little more to get something significantly nicer.

If they were $500-600 a month then it would be different story.

My local dealer has this thing priced at 72k after the addendum …pretty hilarious

$15k+ price adjustment? :grin:

About as fast as I expected…

Yup… appropriately underwhelming for an acura

As I said, much closer to the 330i than M340i (both xDrive as the Type S is AWD). It’s just so heavy.

Some more evidence:
Dragy 1/4 mile runs

Remember when Acura put an S4 with piss in its fuel tank at the press event?

The 1/4 mile time seems a bit slow in this video, though. Different time from AutoTopNL (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lgw7f-YUGLM):

Anyone leasing or financing a Type is not going to be focussed on numbers. Personally, I think this car should have been released two years ago.

Sounds like it could be fun to drive.

If type s is fun to drive then m340 is more fun and probably cheaper :joy:

COULD is the magic word here. I will probably take an M340i (drove one last year at an UDE event) over a Type S.
