Making room since they're bringing back the Acura Legend

Perhaps they thought that adding a Type-S badge to the 4G would make the car seem childish and immature to their target audience.

I dont like the 4g body design either... this is just another bonus

I was part of a market survey study a couple years ago. It was pretty clear from that they want to push reliable and high tech. Not performance. I wouldn't be surprised if the type-s stayed away.

as am I, I've had my eye on the 3G TL ever since I saw it for the first time however I wasn't even old enough to drive as yet. I went from a 92 LS Integra to a 97 RL and now to my 08 TL which I've now had for less than a year, so I figure my next Acura will probably be a 2018 model hopefully within the next 4 years Acura gets their design act together. The 2G TSX and 3G TL were the only cars (I could afford) that I find appealing even bone stock.

I didnt want to believe it when I heard it a year ago but now it just feels normal, cant believe ppl are barely finding out about it now

also, the other day i was checking out the rlx at the dealership and i realized its a double wishbone suspension, it has not changed to mcpherson strut like the 2013 accord did. now, I hope the upcoming acura cars will not have mcpherson and stick to good old double wishbone
What of the CL? ....or I guess staying true to the naming convention, CS

Pretty sure paperboy was referring to Acura's future nomenclature. At least it beats Infiniti's brilliant idea of going with Q everything.
