Is that an LED DRL strip on the bumper? How come the color temperatures are mismatched vs. the jewel eye headlamp?? BAH

I assume the lower lights are some form of LED DRL lights. Kinda slick looking if so.

Here's the link to the TLX "sneak peak" the prior images came from:

I'm not sure how to make the video above show up directly as a video, instead of a link. If anyone knows how, feel free

I don't know how to say this in a politically correct manner and I hope no one is offended by my comment, but I can't think of another way to phrase it. It looks like it have down syndrome or in the least is cross eyed.

dzionny_dzionassi

Love that new DI engine sound.

Terragotti

That picture is not real, can't see them offering that as a TLX.

Rocket_man

Funny how people get so wrapped around the axle over some guy's Photoshopped idea of a car he's never seen.

On the other hand, the engine sound in that video is promising... if it actually came from a TLX. Even if that was some aftermarket exhaust, it sounds promising.

The car under the sheet looks like it either has LED fogs or LED running lights in the lower grill. Looks promising.

Nexx

the rlx and mdx MID displays the next turn "left or right" the name of the street you will be turning onto and the counts down the distance. much cleaner simpler solution.

Rocket_man

If you search YouTube you can find a video of the NSX prototype. That sounds like the sound on the TLX teaser. The NSX is a V6 Turbo. Now I doubt the TLX has a V6 turbo, but maybe this turbo sound is an indication that the TLX is getting a turbo. Maybe the 2.0L Turbo.

It gets more and more interesting. I wonder what they will tease tomorrow. A picture of the folding rear seats???

Illuminati

I was going to point that out. The engine sound in the teaser video doesn't really sound like a v6. What are the odds that the two engine choices is a turbo 4 with no less than 285hp, and a v6 with ~ 330-345hp.

I really hope they don't mess up this design. Im so concerned with the body and exterior, i know they won't mess up the interior. Heres hoping they paid attention to the lackluster 4g sales. *Sigh*

mondster

Turbo 4 with shawd please...

Illuminati

I would love that. We won't have to wait much longer for the reveal. Felt like forever lol, hopefully tomorrow Acura will give us a final tease before the grand reveal on Tuesday.

Giveaways:

(1) Ms Priddy's shots are from July 2012. To early for that kind of geometric camo rolling example of a TLX.

(2) Double wishbone rebound bulges on the wings. :-) I hope we need those on the TLX, but everybody says it's based on the USDM Accord chassis.

Dropten

Seeing how many other automakers are going with a turbo 4, I cant see how Acura would not follow the line.

TeamAcura

Turbo 4 fo'sho

YoungCeo

What Acura is this? It's from Acura's Youtube page...definitely isn't the RLX....

That looks like an MDX

Looking back on the ILX and RLX prototypes, both had LED fog light strips that failed to make it into production. I would expect the same for the TLX. Additionally, what we will see tomorrow will likely be about 90% production ready as far as body panels with only adjustments to the plastic bumpers left to be made before production.

George Knighton

We'll see the LED fog lights on the RLX Advance Super Hybrid SH-AWD car.

Not sure if they are on the Tech Package for the AWD car.

George Knighton

Ha ha ha ha ha....

Gave us enough of the nose to know that it's a new car, but didn't give us enough of the wings to know what suspension is being used.

boe_d

By making the beak color the same as the vehicle color it isn't quite as unpleasant - just getting rid of it is better than trying to hide it not sure why they couldn't just do that.

Illuminati

Here are some pictures of it on stage under wraps of course for those that care

Looks a little 'pointy' in the front. Beak 2.0?

docboy

I admit those wraps are getting me optimistic, albeit cautiously.

Don't mess up the TLX Acura! I'm likely in the market for a new car within a few years and the TLX will be in my time frame. If most of those wishlist items (which I deem very reasonable economically and tech wise) are not met, I'm going to be very disappointed and will likely move on to Porsche or Audi.

Slithr

If they make the car smaller overall than the current TL, then I'd expect only 4 cyl. powerplants. Probably some iteration of the 2.4 n/a engine in the base car and the 2.0 turbo as the option. They might even use the 1.5 turbo as the base engine. Having turbos across the board may give some economies of scale for shared components/software development.

That should allow better interior packaging than would be available with the v6. For us the current TL is about as small as we were willing to go interior wise.

Dropten

The body appears to be bold under the wrap. Seems to have alot of dimension to the trunk

docboy

I saw that too, the trunk line seems to be quite "high up."

Most of the angles under the cover looks pretty decent, but its the one side profile that doesn't do it for me. Looks like the 4G shape which im not very fond of.
Im surprised at how many people here want a 4 banger in the TLX. The last thing I would want is to be driving a car with a 4 banger in it.
Hopefully the car is amazing, but I think the 2015 Z06 that debuted today set the bar pretty high ;-)

Dropten

Looking more closely at the lines, it looks almost like




Im guessing a toned down version of it

George Knighton

I am encouraged by the wing bulges...if that's really what they are....

I've said it before that I wonder if we're assuming too much that we're going to be able to fit all that stuff on the Accord chassis.

o_0

I know it's unlikely for me to be right about that, but I'm sure hoping!

bimmeration

about time.

mynameisjacob

I see a raised (tall) hood... and tall trunk line.

I see flared fenders!

What's wrong with a 4 cylinder in there if it performs well? And is modifiable? Lol

HeartTLs

iTrader: (5)

I don't want a 4 banger at all, I know with current tech you can get decent power and high mpg with a turbo 4, but to me it's a set backwards. I rag on people w/ 328's, I want FI on a V6.

maharajamd

iTrader: (1)

Well get used to the trend because that's going to start happening all over the place.

Dropten

If a 4banger gets as much power as a v6 and gets better mpg, then why the hell not? other than being an ego booster

maharajamd

iTrader: (1)

I think a lot of people prefer the feel and sound of a smooth Honda V6. And they probably are looking at the RDX's miserable tuning as the boost example to compare a J to.

I'm going to assume they have learned since then.

boe_d

Well said. I'm guessing you haven't read as many posts on this forum as I have. For some reason people don't realize this is a sedan that probably is governed by the laws of physics and the police, they want 600HP, Turbo with 24" wheels. I'm not sure if they are towing double wide homes behind their cars or what the need for HP is.

I just want quick acceleration and good gas mileage.

Why the hell not? because I cant stand the sound and feel of 4cyl engines. Every 4cyl I have driven just sounds so weak and miserable. Yes I know the engines are better these days, but for me personally, I would rather take the smoother running and sounding V6 or V8 over the 4 banger. I like torque as well. Even my wife who could care less about cars specifically purchased her V6 accord because she said the 4cyl felt and sounded like junk....and she is right. I would take the slight hit in MPG for more pistons. If I wanted a 4cyl equipped car I would go buy a Civic or Nissan Sentra or something, not a fancy Acura.
