After seeing the pricing for the new TLX, I am somewhat impressed with the car. $30k can get a lot of car (careless for the real leather). the only bummer is the lack of 6MT.
I am really optimistic that down the road Acura realizes that there are still people who would like to buy 6MT in either form (i4 and v6) and by killings two different models that each had 6MT as an option and replacing it with one model that does not offer 6MT with neither engine option is not a good solution.
If anything, I would kill ILX 6MT (lack of tech on $30k car is depressing) and only focus on offering 6MT on TLX, but for each engine option and in the highest trim.
This would attract all the buyers that previously had 6MT TSX and 6MT TL.
On somewhat separate subject, what is the point of stripper ILX at $27 when TLX can be had for $30k and offer much more of everything?
I think Acura would be much better of by killing ILX all together while expending the TLX's trims and body styles (coupe/convertible perhaps) .
Thanks
