The Acura TLX A-Spec is a slightly sportier TLX SH-AWD with revised suspension, steering, and transmission tuning. I’ve driven a regular TLX SH-AWD and was hoping to see what differences there were with the A-Spec. So I went to the dealer.
My local Acura dealer had two TLX A-Specs, one in the showroom and one outside that was already sold. I only got to sit in the one inside.
One thing I can tell you about the TLX A-Spec is its seats had power-adjustable thigh bolsters and were very comfy overall. I am a thigh bolster enthusiast and approve very much of these seats.
I couldn’t find a picture of the bolsters fully extended but you get the idea. These are comfy seats.
No idea if it drives any better than the regular version though.
Oh, and there was an NSX.

The fact there is no Type S version of the TLX pains me...

The engine and drivetrain are good enough, the improvements in the A-Spec should be sufficient.

The transmission sucked on the regular version I drove last year.

Oooohhh, those seats look sweet. Is that suede in the middle there?

Alcantara. If you see the little rocker switch at the very front of the seat base, that’s the power thigh bolster switch.

Oh yeah! that’s a huge step up from the old TLX. Are they more bolstered on the back or base?
old for reference

I didn’t sit in the regular version back to back with it so tough to judge the bolsters being different or not. The seat wasn’t aggressively bolstered, but it was very comfy.

If there’s no manual transmission option, it’s not sufficient.
