I’m getting some more work done to the TSX tomorrow, and I’ll again have a loaner for a few hours. Last time I got a new TLX and was thoroughly disappointed. Maybe they’ll give me something different this time. So what will I get?
1. The same TLX as before (pictured above)
2. A different TLX
3. An ILX
4. An RDX
5. Another Acura
6. Something that isn’t an Acura

Ilx a spec?

I’ll go with ILX. I’ve noticed when it comes to dealership loaners it’s always “Free but e qual or lesser value”

I vote lower spec TLX or RDX, or maybe they’ll dig a SLX out of the warehouse.

ILX is my bet

I don’t like this shit. I mean it’s fine if it s a shuttle but basically you want me to be a rolling billboard?

im not a fan either... but it is pretty common

...or just outright outsourced to Enterprise, especially when it’s factory warranty . Then it’s whatever it’s available on the lot.
I’ve got Impalas, Traverse, and they tried to put me in a truck once.

I thought that last time as well, then they gave me a V6 TLX.

I wouldn’t mind an RDX. I’m sure they won’t give me a 2019 though.

The luxury dealers are a lot more subtle. This is the maximum I have seen personally but I’m sure there a re offenders in this space as well

Funnily enough, my local Acura dealer is the designated voting booth for my district, so I’ll have to go this sunday.

An NSX because they love you too much.
![]() 06/25/2018 at 11:32 |
|
that is acceptable
![]() 06/25/2018 at 11:33 |
|
They didn’t even get an NSX to start with.
![]() 06/25/2018 at 11:34 |
|
The TLX I had didn’t even have that, though their shuttles did have something similar.
![]() 06/25/2018 at 11:35 |

Yeah it’ll be a leftover, probably not too loaded either.

Yeah. The TLX I had last time was a V6 FWD, and I think it was just the base package, which still had quite a few goodies.

Richmond is full of hipsters. If I pulled up with that I’d be the king of the brewpub.

Probably a good way to deal with unsold loss leader lease special inventory, then make them discounted CPO or bargain used cars.

There will be some sort of mixup and the only car they have around is a Gen 1 NSX. And since it gets “poor gas mileage” they feel bad and pay for your gas for the week. At least that’s what you can dream of while you are in an Accord with non-working AC instead.

Jeez, this is a thing? The worst I’ve seen is the “Bob’s Ford Courtesy Car” type stickers.

When I used to give my AMG for service, I used to get a E class.
One fine oc casion, they gave me an E350 coupe and the car was dirty inside (dog / cat hair) and out.
I refu sed it. A nd raised hell. They immediately put me in a S class.

Its gonna be a TLX.
![]() 06/25/2018 at 19:36 |
|
Probably. The question is will it be the same white one, or a different one.
![]() 06/25/2018 at 21:44 |

I vote ILX.
![]() 06/25/2018 at 21:45 |
|
That seems to be the popular choice. I actually want to check one out since it’s probably closer to the TSX than the TLX was.

It’s very much a thing. Mostly it’s the mainstream brands’ dealers that pull this shit.

I vote RDX
![]() 06/25/2018 at 21:53 |
|
That’s odd. Here the voting locations are all schools and such.
Did they get an NSX? My Acura dealer didn’t.
![]() 06/25/2018 at 21:58 |
|
Yes, a red one, but they put it out of display in favour of an ILX.
I don’t know why Acura has to be the voting area, but we also do schools here, sometimes houses, but mostly public places.

Now that you mention it, I’ve only gotten white TLXs after they started using them as loaners,
s
o probably that.

There’s a Hyundai dealer that does this with every car they sell; I think it’s because you get free oil changes if you have the banner on your window. Very smart concept, especially if you don’t plan on moving somewhere anytime soon.

Whatever you get, it can’t be worse than the Dodge Avenger my Dad has to roll around in. Siad he’s getting sick of his dealer jerkin’ him around on loaners and wants an SRT8 next time. A car that’ll probably kill him, but he has a point.
