Time will tell, but I think they will undercut the top-spec German cars fully loaded by 3-5k at best. Acura is 2nd tier for sure but so is Volvo, Genesis, Infiniti, and Cadillac.

Even a full-tilt Q50 is 62k, XE 63k, CT5 63k, S60 66k, S4 67k, C43 68k, M40xi 68...

The only outliner is the G70 at 54k- If a fully loaded Type is is low 50s it will be a steal for sure.

Then again 2020 IS350 is 52k... curious to see what the 21 is priced at but it isn't competitive anymore
Acura said the price was around $45k for the Type S. Acura isn't a German manufacturer that offers $20k in options on top of their top trim. I predict one or two packages that will probably amount to another $5k... So we're talking about a fully loaded Type S @ ~$50k.

The above is why I think a loaded Type S is PRICED like a loaded 330i xDrive or A4... OR a stripped/base M340i or S4. This makes sense to me.
