IIHS crash test rating worse for 2016 TLX?
Anyone know how/why the 2016 TLX has a worse crash test rating for the "small overlap front" than the 2015 TLX? Aren't they essential the same vehicle with no design change?

The 2016 actually did get a change. The IIHS in the small overlap sectioned noted:
Considering Honda's otherwise very good performance in the small overlap test in all of their vehicles (larger than the Fit/HR-V), I don't understand how it could have gotten worse.
The Acura TLX was introduced in the 2015 model year as a replacement for the discontinued Acura TL and TSX models. Beginning with 2016 models, the front door hinge pillar was reinforced with the intent of improving occupant protection in small overlap frontal crashes.
