Acura is closing out the 2023 TLX with a special edition.

The 2023 Gotham Gray TLX Type S PMC Edition Details:

• Hand-assembled at the Performance Manufacturing Center (PMC)
• Painted in Gotham Gray with matte metallic finish
• Gloss carbon fiber decklid lip spoiler & rear diffuser

The Gotham Gray TLX Type S PMC Edition will have an SH-AWD drivetrain, MSRP of $65,000 with delivery and handling $66,995 and a EPA MPG rating of 19 / 24 / 21 City / Highway / Combined.

The 2023 Gotham Gray TLX Type S PMC Edition follows previous PMC Editions as well as the NSX supercar, all hand-crafted by master technicians at the Performance Manufacturing Center. Following the hand-assembly process, each PMC Edition receives the same quality control process applied to NSX, including a dyno check, paint inspection and rough-road simulation. To protect the paint during shipping, PMC Editions are wrapped in a specially designed car cover and transported to Acura dealers via enclosed, single-car carriers.

So how many of these limited production models are going to be produced you ask? 50 for the North American Market.

$66,000 for a TLX?  Um, no.

I agree, I think it is greatly over priced, but then with only 50 being built, I suspect it will be priced way over that price, close to $100K if a dealer can get it and that makes it just stupid expense.

? Where is @oldshurst442 comments on these cars since he likes Acura.

[oldshurst442]

Its just OK.    I wouldnt trade in my current 2012 TL for it.  Acura has lost me as a fan.  Something about Acura that I dont feel connected to.  This particualr trim costs too much money.  But its a car that I wouldnt mind owning out of default since there arent many sedans left to buy in North  America.  On second thought,    I dont feel connected to Cadillac either, but I think Id rather a CT5...   

Love the NSX though.

 

The refresh has a certain Lamborghini flair in the front. I prefer the Acura beak version.

@oldshurst442 I am thinking the cars might truly be coming to an end as the Shanghai auto show, all the new releases showed were first EV, second all SUVs as cars just pretty much did not exist much. Seems the Chinese are moving in the direction of SUVs like Europe and Americas have moved.

Just a few examples of the press releases and reveals this year.
