Default Acura TLX A-spec PMC worth $50k?

I own a '16 tlx 4 banger tech dct. Bought it used for $20k and as far as FWD goes. This is probably the most underrated performing FWD sedans on market. With 4was it kills understeer and creates the tightest turning radius. It's biggest drawback is the numb azz steering which I feel is way too light but... It's tight responsive and accurate which makes up for its numbness.
The vtec pulls and pulls and pulls. Where an Alfa starts to lose steam at 100mph. The vtec loses it at 115mph. After those mph's. It's a much slower acceleration to the top speeds. The acura tops at about140 and the Alfa at 150mph.

Now all this said... I'd love to own a Aspec in the 4 or 6 cylinder. But to pay over $40K for a FWD pseudo luxury car I don't see it. The limited edition PMC A-spec is $50k. Though a limited edition of 350. I think of the genesis g70. Kia stinger. Infiniti Q60s 3.0T and other cars that may not be slathered in limited edition badges and expensive paint? But will give you the added benefit of RWD or AWD and much more power? Would any of you pay $50k for this type of vehicle? I couldn't. Still think it's an awesome car. Just not at that price...

I'd buy a G70, or super lightly used c450AMG way before I bought that overpriced Acura. G70 3.3 probably, new v new.

Seems like a nice car. Acura's SH-AWD is really fantastic. It's also incredibly bland looking. It's not going to age well.
