The headunit is different than the gauge cluster, no?

That's good the rotors are 2-piece, as they should be. Acura just liked to make everything heavy AF on the TLX-S, because they're 1-piece rotors on that car. And while the wheels may be lighter, they're not forged. There are optional forged wheels for the CTR, but they're not offered on the...

I had a 15 year old Civic Si that had a factory moonroof and it never leaked. Not once. I also used it all the time in the spring and fall, with the rear windows down to better hear the exhaust and eliminate the buffeting that you'd get just by putting only the rear windows down. And can we...

Why not make the throwback gauge cluster what's displayed in Normal and Sport mode, and then do a more special display for Sport+?

lol, I like how on the interior video, they talk about how they removed the moonroof and center rear seat to save weight (definitely not because it's already like that in the CTR and this is just a badge engineered version of that car), but then they leave all the electronics/motors/ball screws...

Why would you want to finance more than absolutely necessary? Acura's promotional financing offers are currently 4.9%, and Type-S cars are excluded from that, so let's say Acura's financing will be 5.9% for an ITS. What investments do you have that are guaranteeing a post-tax return of 5.9%...

Bringing inflation back in check is getting it back to the ~2% YoY growth. There is no going back to pre-2020 pricing because of the stepwise increase in the supply of money. Powell should’ve done his damn job back in 2017 and started raising the rates over the following 3 years, rather than...

The day after I cancelled my pre-order for the ITS when the pricing was announced, I ordered a set of Swift springs for my car. The only problem is they're on backorder for a few months. I was holding off on spending on money on the car, because I may have been trading it in, but at $55k OTD...

I wasn't trying to attack you specifically, more so the people that say "OMFG, the CTR is the best track weapon of all time!", as if they place Nurburgring lap times on a pedestal as the primary reason to buy a car. The reality is that most of these people do a handful of track days a year...

So a serious question: besides it being a metaphorical dick-measuring competition between drivers, what does it matter if your car is a couple seconds a lap quicker at a track day? There's no money on the line, no fame. Is it just literally so that you can get out of your car at the end of the...

I’ve only had one service done on my TLX so far, but the experience was great. Called a week in advance, told them I needed a loaner. When I showed up to drop the car off the loaner was already in the service bay waiting for me, and it took a couple of minutes for the paperwork. Called me the...

That’s fine, everyone’s entitled to their own opinions and preferences on what they want in their car. You’re willing to sacrifice on features/build quality for the driving experience, nothing wrong with that. Driving what I have now, I wasn’t willing to give up some of the features my current...

This is our first Hyundai product, and probably our last. If we don’t have anything go wrong with it, we’ll keep it for 10+ years, because on the surface it’s a great vehicle (size/space, technology/features, etc.), but the dealership network is horrible because they’re so slammed with ripping...

Because I still want my car to be practical, since it’s my primary car. I want to be able to throw a big cooler in it along with our bags and go hiking for a weekend, or go to the racetrack, and have the car be fun to drive along the way, which the SUV is not (don’t get me wrong, it’s a...

Yeah, you’re buying this as a 4th car where you don’t really care about the amenities, while having nearly a quarter of a million dollars in other cars. That’s not many people’s situation here. I went and sat in a A-Spec Tech, and couldn’t justify spending $55k OTD for a car with that interior...

Don’t. Hyundai dealerships are trash (literally have to book an appointment a month in advance for routine maintenance, god forbid you need towed in for emergency service). Also, do your research on the 8DCT. There is a recall out on it because of a bad solder connection on a PCB for the HP...

The only thing that could drop interest rates is widespread banking collapse. Jobs report data for March was stronger than anticipated, indicating that businesses are still willing to spend to hire. Inflation is still well above target. I think these rates will be around for a while, unless we...

I wouldn’t consider myself “rich” like some Porsche owners here, but I would’ve been a cash buyer for the ITS (current car is fully paid off and would’ve been traded in, and I would’ve written a check for the balance). Even removing interest rates from the equation, for what I am looking for in...

Were you also buying $10 2x4’s back in 2021 because “that’s just the way it is now I guess”? I can’t justify spending $55k OTD for a FWD 4 cylinder with the interior out of a $25k Civic. I also think it’ll be interesting what happens with interest rates, and how that affects the car market...

It might, just because 200 units is not a lot. On average, that’s only 4 cars per STATE, which isn’t a lot. If you’re a serious buyer, I’d be ready to go at 10AM (or whenever it is) on Thursday.
