Wheels go. Drilled rotors and 4 piston rear calipers too if history repeats. Hopefully LKAS (lane keep(?) assist system) will get integrated since it is already in the Legend. Hopefully fog lights get integrated and maybe some exhaust finishers.

Burning Brakes
Front bumper will likely get restyled to have more openings and perhaps more conventional fog lighting.
Rear bumper will probably change to accommodate true exhausts.
Smaller wheels/tires.
Steering wheel to matche interior color.
Hopefully has side and rear sunshades, real wood (not plood).
Maybe the grille changes a bit to be more distinctive (more depth).

What oo7 said.
a. Red text=sarcasm.
b. I agree that this car will compete favorably with the LS series.
I see the wheels going. They are simply too ugly, and besides too unrefined for Acura's intended target. Remove half the blades and you have something.
I agree that the bumpers will be changed for fog lights and exhaust cutouts.

But lets see if the car rags will compare it with those cars(LS, A8, S, 7).
Their reason will be...'it's not FR(A8 isn't!) and don't have a V8.'
My days of reading these rags are so over. But some folk thinks that the opinions of these 'jounalists' are indeed gospel!

I agree with most of the above. Wheels and probably brakes will be reduced to something more practical. They ARE after all claiming 30 mpg overall.
I'd like to see the middle armrest in the rear have climate controls. Seems a bit of a stretch (literally) to manipulate them where they currently are. Especially now with the increased rear passenger length.

By the way Jeff Palmer from Temple of VTEC had this to say about the RLX:
I'm pretty sure this interior mock up was not 100% feature correct. I was told it was used internally to give execs and other team members a feel for how the interior space would be. Nothing was functional.

^ Please post that in the "official" thread. People are already using a placeholder concept interior as reason to be disappointed.

The Acura RLX Concept page states the LKAS will be implemented into the new car.
