@namdrah69 2 года назад

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.

@@America1st69 In real terms, the Hondas assembled in Ohio are American cars. Designed in the US. 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.

The engine is a masterpiece. Honda NA V6 engines always sound good, but the fact that they actually have a clear crisp exhaust note on a turbo V6 engine shows the amount of time they put into tuning and testing it. Turbos often muffle some of sound so you only hear what makes it past the turbo.

I have the 2021 TLX with the 2l turbo and it's still pretty quick in sport mode. Love this car and I've had a Legend, CL type S, and 3 3.2 TL' s plus a 2006TL that I still have with 96k miles

I inherited my brother’s 2021 TLX. It’s A-spec, which is not as sporty with performance, but as a 19 year old I don’t know what to do with myself using such a nice car.

@HossLUK 2 года назад

If i can afford it in the future, im going for the advanced spec version of this tlx. Better gas mileage, still 272 hp so plenty to have fun with and a little more luxury features. So imo, it's the better option, at least for me.

@HossLUK 2 года назад

@Roberto Vidal Garcia it's quite a lot more than my 2010 base model civic, so it's definitely much faster than what i have, and it's not just about power, the features, looks and interior is what sells me on it the most.

@HossLUK 2 года назад

@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.

@@DEVILTAZ35Why are you comparing an Acura to European cars? Makes no sense. Obviously, Audis, Mercedes, Jaguar, and BMW are in a different league. No shade to Acura. Give credit due. They made a great car. They excel in terms of reliability and develop long lasting cars like Lexus. They still are a great car brand. European cars on the other hand excel in terms of high performance and make great looking cars for the most part. But, look at the new BMWs tho. The new front grills are ugly af. The new BMWs look like that ugly chick nobody wants to bang. But, at least the Jaguars, Audis, and MB still look good right? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
