What does TL mean?

Most abbreviated car model names I can decipher but for some reason I can't get any of Acura's alpha-numeric nomenclature.
While we're at it what do all of them mean. TL, RL, RSX, MDX, I assume that the "C" in CL stands for coupe but...

There have been many threads on this, but I think the general consensus is Touring Luxury. Who knows for sure.

Really? I always thought the "C" in CL referred to "coupe".

RSX= Really SuX? ?

j/k

I thought that the Original "X" in NSX (Neo Sportscar eXperiment) was meant to be <eXperiment>, so RSX would be Rally SProt eXperiment?

I never really knew the RSX...and for the RL....I'll stick with refined. how can they call it Revolution luxury??

and for the NSX..it's New Sportscar eXperimental and originally NS-X, hyphenated, on the pre-production prototypes. How'd ya call it Neo? hehe...
