What we "know" today

Long front overhang: CHECK
Front wheel located in a FWD/AWD - NO RWD position: CHECK
Honda/Acura big wheel gap: CHECK


Similar side profile to the current gen.
Heavy camo, but does not appear to be a grand departure in design.



Typical 5 point Acura grille: CHECK
Beak? Perhaps?
Typical Acura "pointed" front end: CHECK

This thread should be interesting tomorrow.

If it's a mini RLX Acura should just give up on selling sedans.

I'm more interested in the engines than the car itself. Is that sad or what?

I hope I'm wrong, but all this talk of the 2.0T is nothing more than a pipe dream IMO. This is Honda. Expect the 3.5 and a NA 2.4 with ~ 205HP.

About 23 minutes to go.

I wonder how loud the gasps will be from the audience once they drop the cover of the TLX.

lol 10 mins!

I really hope Acura can pull this as a solid car from their sleeves.
They really need this to succeed if the brand is to make it.
If not it will just be a struggling lincoln also.

That actually looks rather good. Now actually bring it out like that and don't screw it up by changing anything.

Also, those photos are a bit misleading because it has clear side markers and not amber.

Anyone else seeing hints of the 3G in the rear end?

THIS is what the 4G should've been.

Acura never releases a Type S at launch. Give it time.

Here's hoping for enough to motivate a car of that size. Also, kudos to Acura for using a good color on the car to show it off, instead of silver.

The 3.7L came with the 4G SH-AWD TLs.
