These "Type S" models aren't saving them

Acura's offerings are weak across the board. Their strongest car is the RDX and it suffers from poor gas mileage, funky tranny programming, and lots of early infotainment gremlins. We looked at it, but ultimately the Germans beat it in terms of capability, usability, AND value.

The MDX Type S is barely a match in performance compared to the same class of Germans in base trim, nevermind the performance trims. The only differentiator being able to spec 7 seats. Also suffers from poor fuel economy. It loses out in performance compared to the Germans, and loses out being a rolling couch compared to Lexus.

The TLX is an also ran.
The Integra I can't tell yet, but so far reception seems average at best.

I find it hard to recommend the Integra Type S over the FL5R, and I think either one is going to be hard to get.
