2004 cadillac cts-v kbb Videos

You could, don't get themFrom your dealer though, will cost you a fortune. Just buy private or contact a local wrecker. I don't really like the new style of rims they've been using lately either

the car has been out for some time already, and I cant remember the last time I saw a TLX on the road. I see MDX, TSX, and older TL's on a daily basis.I've owned many Acuras (TLs and Type-s) and this was my reaction when I test drove this one.

+Karun ChendrimadaThe sales numbers disagree with you.

+Michael Leibowitz this is replacing two great selling cars with one GIANT "mmmMMEHHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhh......"

This isn't "cutting back."  It's replacing two mediocre cars with one exceptional TLX.

+S.T T.Well maybe, there ad line was a little misleading with that "it's that kind of thrill" thing lol but I do think in their minds the price point is what's supposed to make it compete.  This is Acura though, aside for the NSX and some of the more rev happy cars like the integra gsr/typeR and the RSX-S it never really was a exciting brand.

+HybridEnergy Finland,where i live does not currently offer Honda Accord or Acura with that system. Its comes only with the 3.5 Legend,which i test drove last year and was very,very impressive car. Just still feels like FWD and i really hate these hangs over the rear and front axles.Honda makes amazing engines and manual gears,also are one of the most reliable cars on the planet..,but 2015 is here and they have to,they need to come up with something better than that to keep the interest and motivate the buyers.

+S.T T.Then buy it with the SH-AWD in the V6.

+HybridEnergy The problem with Acura is not the V8 but a proper RWD chassis. Everything above 4cyl should be either 4WD or RWD. You can't have a proper V6 family sport sedan on a FWD platform,it just doesn't feel right.

+Kevin Mansouri Those are not in this class.  The V8 from lexus is in the ISF sport versions.  Those are the price of an M4 and AMG.  Over 60k.  Acura simply doesn't have a car in that class at all for that money.

Lexus has a v8 option if I'm not mistaken

+Kevin MansouriIf they are willing to pay for it they can buy it.  If power is a trait then buy something else that has it.  Acura is the cheapest option in it's luxury segment it competes in, that's it's trait.  Also far more reliable than the large v8 and v6TT cars. Acura and Lexus are the two most reliable brands and what would you know...both are either a 4cyl or 6cyl option N/A in this segment.

+splewy 100% agree with Splewy,  I have a 2004 Acura TL 6 speed V6.  My 13 year old car has very close to the same HP and torque ratings as this hybrid donkey.  My car has been phenomenal but I don't want to buy it again.  I was a huge Acura fan but it is slowly and surely dying.  They need a V8, or a turbo V6 with some RWD options, anything to reinvigorate interest. All other major brands have these options.... People want performance and are willing to pay for it.  

The VW Touareg isn't a $23k FWD family sedan though.

+splewyAnd the Porsche Cayenne shares it's platform with the VW Toureg. Your point? 

+Mont BlancYou're talking to yourself again.  Take your meds.

+Michael Leibowitz Why dont you get yourself a job boy,and stop commenting on every video that pops on youtube. Get some income,your mum will be proud of you.

+Michael Leibowitz The ILX is nothing but a civic Si in sheep clothing lol

+GameHEADtimeNo, they should kill the ILX...with fire.

They should make the ilx rear wheel drive!

Good example is Hyundai. The Genises doesnt share one thing with the Sonata not even the engines and they are both Hyundais. The 2015 Sonta comes with wood in the interior and more features then the 30k fwd TLK. Acura is almost on the level with Chrysler how it is not that different from Dodge but with better quality. They will both make 2 seater Sports cars that will make no profit.

+dhan219 I have to add,that the biggest fault of Honda engineers is that for so many years they couldnt develop a real RWD chassis to improve the handling and to have chance to compete with some premium rivals. Honda makes one of the best and most reliable engines.Period. But you cant,just cant release flagship like Legend with V6 and FWD and expect appreciation. Then the Accord..,in worst case they should have 70/30 4WD platform that drives the rear wheels but helps slightly the front in extreme conditions. FWD has limits..,according to SAAB engineers they are about 230 hp at the front axles..,everything above that doesnt make sense. You cant release luxury mid size sedans with limited performance. I m angry,as i love Honda,but i am really put off from these facts.

+Mont Blanc I agree. Both engines are the same from the accord. The 3.5  intake makes 20hp more the accord V6.The Accord and the TLX both share the same wheelbases and the same car length and both have dual screens.

+splewy Both of you are right. Acura was meant to be the analogue of Lexus and Infiniti in first place..,a more luxurious and performance oriented branch of Honda.Being a big fan of both,and knowing a bit of their history,i can say it simply like that,Acura is closer to Honda when comes to drivetrains,materials,engines and build quality,than Toyota to Lexus and Nissan to Infiniti. 2.4 l engine comes straight from the Accord,and the 3.5 is the Legend one..interior is almost one to one identical. 

I'd by the accord hybrid if the seats were comfy but my 93 Honda civic had more comfortable seats than the Accord - the seats and the antiquated GPS are the only real issues for me with the Accord.

+Michael Leibowitz  Yeah I'm not trying to say that they did an 80s/90s GM style rebadging where they just swapped out the grille. Obviously they did a lot to differentiate it from the Accord. The point I'm trying to make is that Acura intends for this car to compete in the sport luxury segment, yet it's the only car in that segment that doesn't have a bespoke platform.

+splewy...and that's where the sharing ends.  The drivetrain, suspension, interior, and exterior are all different.

+Michael Leibowitz  It's still built on the Accord platform.

While I agree with you that Acura desperately needs a RWD platform, the TLX is far from being a "re-badged Honda."

i don't get it, so you stickin with hyundai that had a high shitty reputation because you had a bad experience with other manufacterers?? you do know that hyundai (just as EVERY other manufacter) have been issuing massive recalls, i have a friend with a sonata which has been recalled and she been waiting for over 4 months because they can't meet the demand of the part that needs to be changed

The next couple of years will be big for compacts cars. Starting with the 2011 Hyundai Elantra,2011 Chevrolet Cruze, 2012 Ford Focus and 2012 Honda Civic. Along with the Kia Forte, These cars are going after the Corolla's throat. I would hope the 2012 Focus will also bring back the coupe version. That is the difference between the Kia Forte and the Honda Civic.

If it wasn't Toyota's fault then how come they had that massive recall? If it were just one car, I am sure that wouldn't of happen. Toyota is the one who decided to use that part so in reality it is Toyota's fault. I drive nothing but Fords now I will definitely drive nothing but Fords. Focus is next on my list for sure.

It is nice looking however I have been burnt by the American car companies too many times in the past by their inferior products and they will not regain my business. We are a Toyota and Hyundai family and intent to remain so no matter how good looking the big 3's cars become in the future.

True the Focus is not that old but my first car was a Mercury Lynx before the Japanese remake in the 90's The Escort in Europe could be had with a 150 hp Cosworth engine but we didn't get it in the States. My Lynxs had 54 hp so u can see i really am happy this car is coming to America

This car is not as nice as it first looks! I bought one 4 weeks ago and have had nothing but problems. A/c Blower motor went out, one of the doors sticks, cosmetic problems inside and out. I made a video of the problems on my channel - please check it out

no new news on a 3-doors, though ford has allways done that with their new models ..and a year or 2 later the 3-doors still is being developed..i sure hope they do that for a st/rs version...if not they'll loose european-customers for sure!

@clubwedd I get the point your making, but if Ford Germany is developing the car it is still a Ford. The difference in a German designed Ford is they used their brains and got people who know what to do to build the car/

I have been waiting for the US to get the euro model so I can trade in my turbo 2001 hatch and get one of them. I hope they bring the RS to the US. I would be the first on the waiting list!

@Swidhelm Ya it is a gr8 car....I love it too...but I said that I expected more from the Focus in the terms of looks and exterior design...but am sure it will be a great all rounder ;)

@roochiecooch This is an import. Designed in Europe and tested in Europe. Most import vehicles you buy in the US are assembled in the US anyways. BMW's --> South Carolina, for example.

i turned 15 in november, and in PA we can get our permits when we turn 16 and then after a holding period of 6 months and like 60 hours of driving time, we can get our license/

the saloon is sleek and good looking, but the euro hatchback is not sleek? This is maybe good looking in the USA, but in europe it's very ugly and noone likes it

@2741718 Yeah true enough. I do like the way the euro one looks for the most part. I really don't like the current american model. I think it's too blahzay.

Once Ricers get this car on their hands.... they will screw it up with big ass Wings and gay colors :( This is not a Racing Car you F**** RICERS ! !

@beetletweed of course it is. Larger capacity for storage, passenger seating and engine and pretty much everything else including the price tag.

lucky >:( in NY we get our permits at 16 and our license at 17, and I'm almost 15 so I got 2 years before I have almost total freedom.

Ford line is really impressive....I love all the range! But even though this Focus looks good, but I really expected more from Ford!

@stefken123 when i was in poland in 2006 , i rent it the newest version of the ford focus, so i imagine this is next version of it.

so do I lol, I really want the red one in the video with a stick-shift, except I need to wait till 2012 when I get my license :(.

I would hope that they bring back the 2 door Ford Focus when the 2012 version along with the 4 door sedan and 5 door hatchback.

Ford makes ugly cars. Compare it side by side to other cars in the same category, trim or price, you will see the difference!

@micjoemay02 yes ok clown , what about the new astra ? new ford focus everyday , atrsa vxr vs ford focus rs ??? only winner

A lot changes in a few years. Hyundai's use to be utter crap until they got flushed with cash from the Korean government.

driving is fun... when you're not consistently burdened by traffic. some people are not that into driving though.

well, the images is great, but the way americans speak english is strange and very different from UK....

Ford cars are shit Ford even knows this thats why their getting Germans to build there cars for them.
