As much as I really likes the previous TL, and to a lesser degree even TSX, the new TL has failed to stir me in any way. Pass.

When I cross-shopped the TL-X (against the Genesis and others) the dazed and confused transmission was an absolute deal-breaker.  Sounds like it still isn't fully sorted out.  Pity, that.
Wokeism is nothing more than the recognition and opposition of bigotry in all its forms.  Bigots are predictably triggered.

I'm still not sold on the value proposition versus a nicely equipped Accord.

The 2018 Accord rides on a brand new platform (not yet adopted by Acura) and gives you the option of a stick shift.  I' guessing I'd likely prefer that to the TL-X.
