Seems really heavy for a FWD based AWD car and not following how it ends up 600 lbs heavier than an Accord. My biggest complaint is I don't want to spend this kind of money for a FWD based and normally driven, poor weight distribution car.

But the larger footprint brings with it that universal enemy of performance: weight. Top-trim TLXs, with the optional SH-AWD will be pushing 4000 pounds; that's more than 300 pounds heavier than a 330i xDrive and some 600 pounds heavier than a Honda Accord.

The battery moves to the rear for the first time in an Acura, shifting a claimed 52 pounds to the tail, while the use of aluminum for the front fenders and shock towers removes 29 pounds from the nose. Acura says the center of gravity shifts 3.4 inches rearward. All-wheel-drive models have a 57/43 percent front/rear weight distribution.
