TLX Type S priced bumped 2k but now we know why. Insane Integra pricing. Both super overpriced now. TLx no longer undercuts the IS 500. PMC editon price is crazy and the grey one is $67,000.

Read the comments and I read acurazine.. it’s wild that 355 peak hp is blowing transfer cases and transmissions left and right. I wonder if the mdx is next.

Just the load from overtaking at stock power level is already enough for the splines that transfer drive from the transmission to the transfer case to break. It's like, they did they skimp on the steel hardening process of these components, maybe like how they skimp on even the most basic level of rustproofing for the steel they use to build cars in Southeast and East Asia.

Looks like it's MDX, MDX Type-S, and TLX Type-S all blowing transfer cases and transmissions. Yikes.
