Nice, too bad Acura seems not to have the appendages to actually bring out a coupe

There is definitely room in the lineup for a Coupe, but not if it's FWD. It needs to be SH-AWD with manual. Or something like an MR-2 Turbo which was a Celica with the FWD engine/transmission moved from the front to the rear and the struts from the rear moved to the front. Doing this with the TLX pieces could allow some economies of scale, but still provide a wonderful MR coupe (though in all likelihood without a rear seat).

That looks like too good of an idea for Acura to go for. (p.s. B-pillar needs to be thinner.)
Hehe but honestly they just aren't after the 2/4-series, G37 coupe, Genesis coupe, Lexus RC-F market. If the TLX is a big hit I could see it join perhaps at the mid-cycle point if not later. Or never. The CL made a big splash and then interest waned quickly, I bet they are scared that could happen again. They need to be in the Lexus big league in sales or seriously go back to their sporting roots to make a CLX happen.
But really could you imagine; Type-S at mid-cycle with a refresh. 4 door TLX or 2 door CLX with SH-AWD and 6MT. OK yeah that is too good to be true.
Actually if they really want a coupe that will sell they should go back to the Integra/RSX platform with a revamped formula and dump that ILX experiment they have going there that is failing.

Looks good... The door just a bit longer for this to be a coupe.

Not horrible but still not quite the best looking coupe for that type of car. For me, that still goes to the 4-Series...sure, the price is a few bucks apart.

Agreed. The 4 series is an absolute masterpiece. Saw one in the gym parking lot the other day and I had to stare at it for a solid 5 minutes.
