Type S won’t have a DCT. It will use the 10 Speed Auto with a Type S tune like how the MDX S and TLX S have for the transmission. SH-AWD wasn’t even thought of because it would easily cannibalize sales of the TLX. The price that should be on the A-Spec Tech is around $33k based on the leak study that came out last year. I also highly doubt a price bump in a model that would already have a set price when launched in Lates Spring early Summer. Reserving the model also isn’t a waiting list. You select the color, trim and options then put a $500.00 deposit down that’s refundable.Very dissapointing. I love my '17 EXL w/ CVT. But here we are over 5 years later and what is being sold as something new is a rebadge with a different shell.
This won't compel many Civic owners or fans to upgrade, and in this price range this car will be anemic on power.
Honda is just extracting value from the Acura brand to the point of dilution.
If they announced a turbo-k20 Type S with DCT or a 8 (or 9) speed, or even a CVT'd 1.5L with 200HP stock and sh-awd I would be interested.
Whatever comes to market won't even be for the rumored rumored prices because we're headed toward a recession with likely stagflation.
Inb4 everyone who hands over money to get on a reserve waiting list will see a price bump and the hate will flow before these cars are even delivered.
