I love your passion for the ITS, but this just never made sense to me. The Type R is the tracking, racer's car where lap-times and driver dynamics matter the most. The S in Type S always meant street to me, but it's clear they started with the Type R and added some touches rather than how Acura...
I get that. I know this vehicle brings in a lot of different people who have experienced supercars and then others who have only driven "normie" cars like myself though.
Well, yes obviously, and it's laughable to anyone who knows the engineering that went into the Type R/Type S, but to the average non-car person who knows nothing about cars, their interiors share the same look and feel. You're not buying this car for its luxury features, but the touch points are...
It's piling because this vehicle isn't a value-oriented car. Well, it is if this is exactly what you're looking for, and it looks like you are by your criteria. Personally, I have time to wait so I'm waiting for prices to dip in a few years. As for buyers remorse, you won't find that answer...
I have a Mazda 3 Hatch as well except FWD NA. I like the Acura's exterior styling and liftback definitely, but I can't say that it's an upgrade as all for exactly the same reasons you do
Interior: Mazda gets a lot of praise, but it's still not enough. The interior here looks WAY better than...
It's insane how much hate there is in the car community. So many children who base their entire personalities on knowing how to drive manual, not to enjoy them, but bash anyone with anything else. Somehow it makes them more "masculine." The type to get off to changing their own oil.
I'm kind...
Lexus UX/NX Hybrid or Plug-in? Sounds like you're missing that reliable, efficient daily (other than whatever the ITS is). It has more power and reliability over the CR-V giving you the most piece of mind. Also a bit luxurious.
Personally, I'd love to have A Rav4 Prime as the reliable...
I mean, it's already happening. Tesla Model 3's have replaced the Camry in Southern California. I'm not saying Joe Blow from rural Iowa's suppose to take an EV, I'm not, but significant numbers in metro populations where people aren't taking 100+ mile trips will being opting in including myself...
It's not that all performance vehicles will be EV or that ICE vehicles will go exist. That isn't the goal, nor should it be the goal. In the future, it'll just make a lot more sense to get an EV or at least a hybrid/PHEV.
EV prices are coming down. Only more infrastructures will be built. Gas...
A lot of people here are genuinely paying that much especially early adopters. A lot will be paying closer to 65k-70k once you factor in interest rates. You can do the math yourself here. I don't even want to think about all the money after-market wheels, PPFs, tints, and ceramic coatings cost...
I don't get how much money it could possibly save them to be cost cutting this much. Every trim Mazda 3 has one touch windows. There an entire discussion about it here.
They just wanted to look "luxury," but I wish Acura had done the dial path like BMW and Mazda instead of a touch pad. The dial + buttons in the Mazda is just SO easy to use, you don't have to look at the screen to switch between music and navigation, etc.
I don't think it's too likely they go "backwards" to an analogue gauge but the old TLX one was half digital half analogue. I think it looks like an upgrade from the current one at the very least and matches the retro look. It's probably most likely they don't change it at all even at the...
Now that the new 2024 TLX gets a full digital gauge cluster like the MDX, should the refreshed (2026?) Integra get that “old” TLX gauge cluster? Personally not a fan at all of the current one the Integra has. It’s like a cheap digital one instead of a full luxurious one or a better looking...
It's so laughable seeing people still pray on the downfall of EVs based on one report. The ones that aren't selling are the crappy ugly and hyper expensive ones. First it was about the range, then it about the mining, then we gets news everyday about how things are changing. They'll yell...
