a CVT doesn't shift at all.. that's why it's a CVT.
I believe the tlx 4-banger has a dual clutch, which would explain the smooth and seamless shifts

Modern cvt's have fake shift points in some of them because people seem to prefer it - may have been that

haha yeah, Jeff, i know what you mean. You're probably right.
though personally i wouldn't characterize that kind of shift as seamless, more like slipping
CVTs always reminded me of a slipping clutch

sorry i was on my phone before and didn't want to type it out there.
so yea, story goes, acura had the car for a month, get it back, still rattles, took a vid of it too to prove that i wasn't lying. took it back, a week later they say they can't hear shit.
i called honda canada, had a meeting with the used car manager and the shop manager and honda canada on the phone. basically we came to an agreement that honda will buy back the car for $21k. i owe $24k. i also get to keep my winters and i have to put back on the tires it came with (which i have) at my cost. also, i wasn't tied at north toronto, i could shop around and honda will give me that same trade in value. so a difference of 3k, i get to keep my brand new winters (almost 1k) keep my lip, and if im' not lazy swap in the factory grill and sell the lip and grill together for $600-$800?
i was playing the three dealerships off of each other, north toronto, vaughan, and barrie. thing was that there were no more TLX's in the combo i wanted, and they arn't getting anymore because the 2016's are coming in aug aparantly and will have different pricing and rates.
acura barrie said they can get the car in two weeks, at $280 bi-weekly (paying $240 for the tsx) tax in with the negative equity, and all the jazz i wanted, so i dropped a deposit on it locking in the deal. only way it won't go through is if they can't get me the car for some reason. so $80 more a month, but like i mentioned before my insurance is $20 cheaper a month. Also, since this is the second time i'm financing from honda finance, i got 0.9% on the new lease (4yr/24,000km) which is much better than the 3.4% used car rate that was on the TSX.
Details on the new car:
2015 TLX 4cyl tech.
-bellanova white pearl, black interior
-heated front and rear seats
-IKAS (lane keep assist thing)
-heated windshield wiper part
-power folding mirrors
-navi
-premium sound system w/sub
-heated steering wheel  
-remote starter
-OEM skirt kit
-adaptive cruise
-lane departure warning
-blind spot indicator
-harddrive media storage
one thing i can't decide on is if i should get the spoiler; and the fog lights (that are 1k.  )
