My girlfriend recently just bought a 2021 TLX A-Spec and this is pretty much how I feel about it. Don't get me wrong, it's a nice car but when you're comparing it to the competition I find it kind of falls short. Fit and finish feels like it's halfway between a Honda and a Lexus and same with the materials used.
I always considered Lexus' infotainment to be a bit boring and non-innovative when you compare it to the Germans but one thing I really dislike about the TLX is the infotainment and the "true touch" touch pad is terrible imo. Don't even get me started about Honda's/Acura's stupid "shifter".
I haven't had very much seat time with it but it does drive nice, chassis and suspension feels responsive especially for it's choker weight and transmission feels good. Would I get one myself? Most likely not.
