Are there model markings on the trunk?
There is no Acura dealer in my town so I haven't seen too many yet. Have never noticed any label on the trunk as to the model (I4 or V6 or SH-AWD). Is there one?

Only the SH-AWD has it.

It only has the A caliper symbol (no more ACURA lettering), the TLX badge, and the SH-AWD (if you have that model). Otherwise the only way to tell I4 from V6 is the wheels.

I think that's where Acura dropped the ball. They could've made some slight variations on the bumpers between the two, but it pretty much all comes down to wheels and if you can peek inside, the shifter.

Hard to spot the difference when the car is moving!

I added the P-AWS emblem to my base V-6.. Makes it look much better in my opinion.

The ones sold outside North America have it.
