>>16380816
The zf 9 speed, same one used by Chrysler i believe

>>16380827
Yeah but the ZF design is damn good, you can blame the Chrysler tranny issues on FCA, Acura did all the programming and fine tweaking to there's

>>16380840
Even with all the tweaking, people are having nothing but issues with the 9 speed DCT on the TLX

>>16380862
Well fuck it, get the 6 speed then

>>16380816
Yeah, it's a DCT, but I believe the newer ones (2016/2017) changed something else, which I can't remember, and Consumer Reports said it greatly affected their reliability. I believe most new Hondas and Acuras suffer from some tranny issues (auto only).

>>16380283
Why would anyone want one?

Name an Acura and I'll name a comparable Lexus or Infiniti that is better in every way. Design and aesthetics being the lowhanging fruit.

Honda is lazy. Theyre not doing much to fortify Acura as a lifestyle brand, like Toyota and Nissan do; therefore you still get the majority opinion being that there "premium Hondas." Toyota doesn't have this problem. Nobody drives an LFA and thinks "its just a premium GT86." Then to top it off, they're downright negligent. They generated so much hype for the "new" NSX and then under delivered.... Again, the LFA took a long time to develop too, but delivered on completely emotional aspects (the engine sound, the interior bits, the actual driving dynamics...)

Acura management should be fired.

>>16380919
Pretty much this. Acura has zero identity. They offer neither sporty nor luxurious luxury-sport cars.

I have a 2016 ILX. Yes, the 2017 Civic is now remarkably similar in terms of options (once fully loaded and minus some HP) but when I got it the 2017 Civic wasn't out, so that was not an option.

And I really like it. It has the same engine as a TLX, a much better transmission than the Civic, and all the tech. Plus it looks nicer (IMO) and I like the size of it. Before this I had a Civic and liked that too.

It's a car I drive maybe 60 miles in a week, so I didn't want to spend a shit ton on a nicer luxury car even though I could afford it.

Only annoyance with it is that it isn't AWD.

i can't wait until honda shuts down acura

acura is holding honda back

Acura had some nice designs in the past. Like the 2004-2008 TL-then they went full retard with the 09 TL. Same thing with the 05-08 RL-fucking it up in 09 with the beak "facelift." Why not just keep producing a nice looking car rather than embrace aesthetic garbage simply for the sake of change?

>>16380283
Honestly, just these two points:
1) Reliability
2) JDM

Note that I did not mention luxury, sportiness, etc... because it has none of that compared to its direct competitors.

>>16387756

What did she mean by this?

>>16387822
That picture makes it look kind of cool tho

>>16388661

It probably would've made more sense if he put JDM in quotes instead: "JDM"

Basically, people that buy Acura are the Honda folks with more money to drop. They just want something reliable but a bit more upscale than an Accord.

They want something Japanese and they don't care about buying into a specific "lifestyle" or RWD or more powerful engines or whatever, so they don't see a point in paying significantly more for a Lexus. An ILX starts at 27k and you can load that shit up and negotiate down to be <$30k out the door.

Infiniti Sedans are also more expensive. The RDX buyer probably wants to avoid the slightly trashier image of the Infiniti QX series.

Long story short, Acura buyers are Vanilla Honda/Toyota folks who want to spend just a little more for a slightly nicer, reliable car.

Then you have the odd "boy-racer-who-hasn't-completely-grown-up-yet" who thinks that their ILX is the modern Integra.
