Has anyone had their dealer confirm yet if the first 200 launch models will have the Acura forced accessories? I believe this chart was a CA spec, but canā€™t remember. @Integra23 you seem to get the low down pretty quick. Lol Hear anything about this yet?

My dealer said heā€™s checking with his local Acura rep tomorrow to see if thereā€™s any word about that & would only say that he doesnā€™t know, but it wouldnā€™t surprise him if they did.

I don't have any inside info, but I can basically guarantee that these accessories won't be required for launch cars. For one thing Acura is calling that optional wheel copper not bronze so this document is definitely not an official Acura document. But beyond that, the colored wheels/badges/mirrors/spoiler will look like shit on certain colors so it makes no sense to require them. The copper wheels in particular are going to look hideous on the Tiger Eye or the LCM.

Whether they require some accessories I don't know, but this seems like a dealer scam more than anything.

Good catch! Iā€™m surprised I missed that one. I think I remember Raitiā€™s Rides saying that the wheel upgrade was $2K, however. So youā€™re probably right that a dealer is embellishing a bit here & made this up themselves.

I agree with the copper on TEP looking bad, but I think would look good on LCM. Personally, Iā€™m turned up on my vehicle trade-in so just carbon fiber, heated leather steering wheel, black badges, & shift knob are good for me. Iā€™m sure there will be better aftermarket wheels anyway without interest.

Quite the premium price for sure. Way too high.

Far as I know that list was from a Canadian dealership, or so I heard. But the prices seem low for CAD and more in line for USD.
All of these are dealer installed options and wouldn't be required on the launch. Only the PMC factory package included some of these features on the TLX.
I have not received any additional information or confirmation on accessories. But when I do I'm sure to post them.šŸ˜‰

I was the original poster of the "Launch Edition" paper, which was posted to a different forum. The dealership that provided me the paper is located in Pennsylvania.


Please see a summary of what i have been told by this dealership:
This dealership has said that their first car (1 of 200) will contain all of these mandatory dealer accessories (non-negoriable). This first car will also have to be present at the dealership for the first 30 days. If I have a deposit down on the car then is just sits in the showroom locked. Otherwise people can sit in it and potentially drive it (Alcantara wheel could get gross). I was only given the option of Tiger Eye/Ebony or Apex Blue/Orchid. This dealer has also said if I don't want the dealer accessories, I can have the second car when that arrives later this year.

Hopefully this helps clarify what I have been told regarding the "Launch Edition".

That's not too surprising. It's similar to what many did with the Integra release last year. They said Acura required the dealership to keep the first model for so many days for display. That way, if someone was interested in the car there would be one available to sit in and look at even if none were available. Many dealerships tarted it up with every accessory they could on that display car to try and sell the accessories with orders

Thank you a ton for the clarification!

Is your screen name because you are a ā€œToolā€ fan by chance?

Is anyone else extremely irked that weā€™ve only seen 3 color combos in reality? I donā€™t understand why Acura canā€™t publicly post them online.
