So with then new ILX announced.. and that rumored TL/TSX combo into a TLX.. Acura's 2013 lineup should be:

New redesigned RL
TLX
ILX
RDX
MDX
ZDX (ugghhh)

 

In other news, the sky is blue.

 

What's a "TLX"?

 

TLX is a good guess as to what the discontinued TL and TSX will become, and to be truthful the TSX and TL both have their strong points that if combined and competitively priced would make for a great car.

thats pretty much what i would have went with. I dont see the ZDX getting a 2G, instead i see it doing a long stretch of poor sales before its quietly put down

also, maybe they will rename the rl to the RLX so its fits with the naming conventions better

 

The X should only be added to the name if it is offered with AWD. So there should be separate models like IL, ILX, TL, and TLX. It'll never happen but it's just a thought.

 

And the sun rises in the east.

 

There is already a huge topic in Automotive News discussing the future of Acura and its lineup. Probably best to have this convo in there:
