We ordered the I-4 with the technology package with zero regrets. I saw no compelling reason to buy the V6 since the I-4 delivered the power and performance we required. The tech package upgraded the interior with leather and came with a variety of features like side sensors that I know would be useful and all at a reasonable price. Although not mentioned, the I-4 comes with a classic gear shift in the center stack instead of console mounted push buttons. Gear shift in the Acura TLX is more straight forward than in many new cars e.g. BMW and Mercedes and somehow I think that moving from park to drive should be a no brainer process.
Acura seems to be confused or unclear how to market the TLX or who they want to appeal to. The TLX , BMW 3, Mercedes C class, Audi A (3/4) or Infiniti Q are not performance cars. They are upper scale vehicles that are well appointed, drive and handle well and have the comfort features most luxury and premium customers desire.
I did more research and visits to dealers than a sane person should but I did not want buyers regret.
If I read one more review that compares the TLX to the Acura's of old I am going to scream. The older Acura's were not selling well and the other car companies offered more compelling cars. If Acura thinks Sid Vicious is going to attract customers like me to the dealer they are nuts. The advertising and marketing is foolish, fortunately the car speaks volumes.
Bottom line is I could not come up with any rationale to select the V6 over the I-4, the I-4 delieved.
