Wink Acura TL SportWagon Rendering



With the Cadillac CTS Sport Wagon now on sale and the Acura TSX wagon coming this fall, Autoblog reader Andrew decided to try his hand at producing a five-door version of the larger TL sedan.

By merging the roofline of the seven-seat MDX crossover with the body of the midsize sedan, Andrew has created what to our eyes is a fairly handsome sedan... well, at least those of us in the minority that actually like the look of the standard TL. The D-pillar does look a bit heavy in this application, so perhaps a more forward sloping rear window in the manner of some of Audi's Avant wagons would give the car a sleeker look. Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Wow, I didn't think you could make the TL uglier. I'm glad that guy doesn't work for Acura.

But in all seriousness, the ZDX would probably fit that role. I saw one for the first time yesterday, an wow, that thing has some road presence. I thought it looked pretty good.

That rendering is just more blood for the sharks. The ZDX is impressive in person like Pete just said.

I love red text lol. That is ridiculous, just as bad as the evo wagon. the ZDX however is a great looking crossover.

All it needs is some wood paneling on the sides and a couple of surf boards on the roof.
