Car highlights include:
- Jewel Eye LED
- Dimensionally, the overall length is 3.8 inches shorter than the current TL, yet rides the same 109.3 inch wheelbase as the TL. The prototype's right-sized dimensions place the new TLX neatly in between the smaller ILX and larger RLX sedans.
- Two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions.
- Two-wheel drive with either the 2.4 or 3.5 liter engines
- TLX SH-AWD is exclusively for the 3.5 liter V6 engine with 9-speed transmission.
- Two new engines
- 2.4-liter 16-valve inline 4-cylinder with direct-injection.
- 3.5-liter SOHC V6 with direct injection
- Two new transmissions.
- 8-speed dual clutch transmission (DCT) with torque converter is mated with the new 4 cylinder engine.
- 9-speed automatic transmission is mated with the V6 engine
The TLX was designed and developed in the United States by Acura engineers working in the company's Los Angeles design studio and Raymond, Ohio new-vehicle development center. The new TLX will be produced using domestic and globally sourced parts at the company's award-winning Marysville, Ohio auto plant, which presently manufactures the 2014 Acura TL performance-luxury sedan.

Wow, I really hope that this is a sign of things to come. Acura kinda lost its way for a while but this definitely looks sporty & not RLX bland. Hopefully a hybrid will come (50mpg in the Accord is stellar).
Just don't mess up the interior Acura.
I also agree that this is a good looking car. Very sporty looking with hints of BMW, IS, and TSX. I think Acura does a pretty good job with their interiors. It won't be worst than the Accord's interior. If price right, I think that the car will sell very well.
