IDK about your guys, but I really like the way the TLX looks, looking at acura's website. Even though the company kept the same design language, the TLX looks better to me than the RLX. Am I in this alone?

Wheels look like they copied of the Kia Optima. Really wish Acura would hire someone who knows how to design a damn car.

Overall appearance looks very good. I'm really digging the rear end. The lines are clean, and the side profile is great. If the grill was color matched it would look sick. I don't understand Acura's constant use of the silver grill, its disgusting next to most colors other than silver!

Eh... looks like Acura ILX and Infiniti G shagged and had an offspring.

Probably biased but I think I like my 2012 4G better as far as styling is concerned.

It looks good....I wonder how close the production version will be to the prototype.

Not surprising that the 6MT went the way of the dinosaur. Looks like I may be holding on to my 13' for a long time.

Direct injected, 8 and 9 speeds, 20's. Finally getting with the times. The side profile looks like the newer Malibu. I kinda like it.

Ok no 6mt...but why reserve the DCT for the 2.4l? Doesn't make any sense.

I like the GT way more... Lol

It looks good, it does look like an ILX (especially the rear) which is what i think some people will confuse it for on the street.. I may have missed it but were the dimensions and HP ratings announced yet?

Lol

The car looks great. But all the talk about athletics and they only offer the dct with the n/a 2.4l. Typical Acura. 3.5 only with the standard slush box 9spd auto. Hopefully the dct comes to the shawd v6 in the mmc.

please for the love of god... add exhaust tips. all your talk about performance and "volt-like" experience is contradictory if there are no quad exhaust tips

Overall the car looks great, i'd have to see it in person to really give my opinion. I was hoping they'd do something a BIT more aggressive, but this has been the best looking TL(X) since the 3g, maybe even better looking if the final production car can add some sexy exhaust tips and a Type s Variant come MMC.

Prototype looks good. Best model we've seen from Acura as of late. Far better then the RLX, MDX, or ILX. Lets see how much of the prototype make it to production.

In any case, watered down or not, this car will really sell well for Acura if its priced right!

The rear looks better than the front. I'd probably get a ticket for driving it on the highway in reverse. I hope Acura fixes the beak before production.

I agree, that was my first thought as well.

After looking at it some more, I thought it resembled the 5 series and the lexus LX460 from the side profile.

I think the rims they chose for the unveiling are unflattering, couldn't have they chosen some sort of 5 stars, they look like wheels from a hot wheels car. I hope the production version does have the body kit, makes it look nice.

Overall, I do like it; I think without seeing more, they did a great job. Looks nice & taut.
