EXACTLY! Plain and simple. Different strokes for different folks. It’s what makes the world go ‘round.

LOL. Dude...you need to let the beak go. That generation is finally gone.

SH-AWD is the new RWD.

If you want to spend the extra $10k for the “refined vibe”...go for it.

I agree about the advertising. Somebody was smoking crack on the marketing team. It’s been said over and over. People that buy Acuras or Hondas are loyal to the brand mainly for the reliability aspect. Do you really think people spend over $40k for a car they don’t like? I don’t understand the logic.

Hmmmm...do I want to spend $42,000 for a loaded Acura or $52,000 for an equally equipped BMW, Mercedes, Audi or Lexus? Would you really spend $10k more for a slight performance gain? Maybe a little nicer leather? Are they really that much more comfortable?

I couldn’t agree more.

Hit the nail on the head.

Not only is Acura more affordable up front but they are also a lot cheaper to maintain. Why is it that “practical” has turned into such an evil word? Personally, I think Acura offers a good blend of luxury, sport and practicality. A loaded TLX SH-AWD is literally $10k cheaper than an equally equipped BMW, Mercedes or…

Apparently, you didn’t read Doug’s article. Have you seen the numbers?

Doug - I totally agree. I don’t understand why people think Acura is the only one with this naming convention.
