If you watch TheTopher's review of the TLX, you wonder if him and Yuri are talking about the same car (one loves the 10-spd transmission and one hates it).
Yuri/Jakob even commented about why Acura didn't use the ZF-8 speed instead. I am surprised he didn't know that it cannot be used with transverse mounted engines like that on the TLX.
I had to watch AlexOnAutos for a more factual review.

It's an opinion, harsh or otherwise, it's still an opinion. Alex on autos seemed to feel a little underwhelmed as well although he gave it decent grades and concluded that it was "still fun". For such a hyped brand new model, I would have expected seeing more "wow" type reviews but I hear a lot of "I'm conflicted with my feelings on this vehicle". |
Yes, good point. Alex's issue was the weight of the new TLX and the fact that the TLX is sized like a 5 series on the outside but has similar dimensions to the 3 series on the inside.
Maybe the Type S may have better reviews once it is released.
