Sorry to hear man. I know the heart wants what the heart wants, but would you now take an incoming ITS if your Acura dealer calls you about an available unit?
I love my FL5, but would’ve been thrilled with the DE5 as well. I had deposits down at two local Acura dealers, and was next in line at one of them. I could’ve had my pick of any incoming colour and likely would’ve chosen Apex Blue or Lunar Silver, to get the black interior with red stitching...
I’ve met Zack while he and Brian were off to the side of the road preparing their road test segment of a car here locally. Good guy, and glad to see his channel has really taken off since bringing his wife Andrea into the fold.
No disrespect to lot boys, but I’m genuinely surprised that a (junior) mechanic would foolishly risk their job/career like that - Given the prompt communications taken by the GM, that guy is probably shitting bricks now, and for good reason. Seems like it’s usually the lot boys you hear about...

I think Acura completely hit a home run with the ITS as a daily driver, as evidenced by all the accolades by the media / motoring press. Man, I really love that black interior with the contrasting red baseball stitching. I don’t want to know what I’m missing either with the ELS 16-speaker...
I wouldn’t fault anyone for doing that actually, especially if intended as a daily driver that will see commuting mileage and winter salt. I’d hate to subject my FL5 to the aforementioned conditions, and would have to keep my beater alongside it in the stable. But with the ITS, I would sell my...
Great to hear of your positive experience with that dealership! Ooh Michelin Alpin are the dream winter tires for me - dare I ask how much it cost? Did you need to size up to 265/35/19?
