Acura wont bring back Type-S. They don't want to be associated with a Fast&Furious brand of cars anymore.
But if someone was to make an aero kit like these I'm sure they would sell.

this looks amazing, unfortuantely the actual tl type S wheels arent big enough to look like that in real life this looks like it'll have to be a 19" wheel

All of a sudden this car has gotten a lot more interesting

I'd debadge the X to make it a TL like it SHOULD be!

I love the way the front looks, but for some reason the headlights remind me of Optimus Prime. Anyways, yes, if the production car looks like this it would be a great improvement to the 4g.

I am loving this car more and more, cannot WAIT for it to be on the dealer lots. I'll be first in line to test drive.

FamilyGuy

Nice. Hope it packs some punch under the hood, honda/acura needs to catch up in this dept.

I like how it sort of has a body kit as part of the body itself.

The rear is nice too, just looks a little too much like a Lexus.

Overall, it looks like they ignored the 4G altogether and designed this gen from the 3G.

I say (to Acura) recess the grille with the floating 'A' or at least black it out as in the PS pics above, leave the exhaust outlets visible, leave a form of A-Spec kit on it, put in the V6 with SH-AWD and call it a TLX GT. It would sell very well to the enthusiasts here (like a Type-S). Leave the silver grille if Acura wants to for the 4 cyl. model. Do it this way, and they may have a winner, otherwise people are going to paint or black out the grille as they did when the 4th Gen TL first came out. The car is starting to grow on me (more quickly than the 4th Gen TL did), so in a few years, I might be interested.

OMG F14's!

Can someone PS the tlx gt rear bumper, side mirrors and headlights on to the tlx prototype? I'm pretty sure that's how the production model will look like.

For TL nostalgics...
Or a lil future mod.

Why does Acura want their new car to look like a Lexus?

CLtotheTL32

Because Lexus' are sexy.







I don't see much Lexus in the TLX's design but if Acura wants to head in a Lexus direction, I'm fine with it.

I really want to like the new IS. However something about the body just looks off to me, and I can't really tell what it is. And the taillights look hideous to me. For comparison:





I'd take the previous the design over the new one any day...or the new GS like the one pictured in #95. It's hard to imagine that it's only 0.7 inches longer than the TLX...it looks much longer than that.

jo-nathanpham

Such a promising "prototype" (we all know the production model will look more or less like this) so far, and love all the different PS mock-ups!

However, if Acura keeps up their current trend... Then we won't see any of these sexy exhaust tips; they'll most likely keep hidden, a la new RLX and MDX. I'd love to be wrong though!

I like most of the photoshops including the exhaust and black bar in the grill, but one thing none of the photoshops improved upon is the wheels IMO. The original wheels that debuted in the TLX look amazing! I really hope those are actual wheels that will be available on the car and not some boring ones similar to what happened on the ILX. I remember sweet ILX prototype pictures that also had amazing wheels, sure enough they are not on the production version. It's too bad.

Nicks2001tl

If I buy this car and somebody came up to me and said "Nice Lexus" my response would be "thank you"

bla8291

I saw the Type-S wheels and the Forgestars. What more do you need? Hehe

The beakless model is just what the doctor ordered!

The prototype stock wheels are hideous. Lol. Good thing they never make it to production.

Best looking wheels so far are those enlarged stock type-s waffles.

The sharper lines of the f14s do not go well with the smooth rounded 5G body lines imo.

07Acuradude

I believe it says "Acura Design"

...and it isn't production unfortunately.

Timmy18

I feel so left out since I didn't know about the official 5G section and where it was.
A lot of these are reposts, sorry if you've already seen.























And don't worry, the TLX concept and Production TLX are almost right-on when it comes to their proportions.
