I also drove a 2018 TL-S A Spec. Oh my god what a terrible car. The interior looks like it's from 2008. The v6 and 9 speed transmission were ok. The motor sounded nice but overall was very jerky between shifts. I can't believe anyone would spend almost $50k on one of those.
Wow, yeah the HUD is something I could do without in our CX-5 even though it's kind of cool. Ventilated seats would be nice though, it's swamp ass weather down here most of the year.
That's a huge bummer to hear about the new TL-S because the 3G TL-S I had was an AMAZING car. The second best I've ever owned next to the Jag and one of the few I regret selling. I remember having it in for a service appointment right when the 4Gs first dropped. The sales guy in the showroom was trying to convince me that the new one was better than mine and looking at that thing I was like no chance. That thing handled and braked incredibly and was quicker in real life than it was on paper, especially after a few exhaust mods. I would pull slightly on my buddy's old stock twin turbo 335i
