I really like the TLX prototype and would definitely buy one with SH-AWD whenever it comes out, but I would not buy the production model as it is. Likely will get a WRX or Evo instead.

Thank goodness SH-AWD comes to play. That with the 3.5L V6 and 9-Speed should prove to be a slick ride
i hope the actual final product looks like that. Bringing back that muscular stance previous models had..

I'm hoping the real life photo is actually a base model, and that there will be a higher trim that looks like the prototype, kinda of like a BMW 530 vs 550.

The 2015 Acura TLX: the official vehicle of human cannonball dunks.

Hard to get excited over an ES competitor... this is the same company that advertised "the most powerful Acura" with the last generation TL with a whopping 306hp lol

So more utter B.S... The math aint good, the TL and TSX at its best sold together maybe 7-8 k units a month. Today BOTH average about 3k units a month. So with the TSX new name car merging both sales even with a spike over the current 3k I doubt it sells as well as the TL and TSX when they sold well.

It's telling that they are showing the prototype and not the production car. I like the concept for the ads though.

Not saying I would want 400HP in a FWD biased car, but the SH-AWD can divert up to 70% of power to the rear axle, and 100% of that to one single rear wheel during cornering or acceleration. So it's not always front biased.

Watch the 0-60mph run it's very fast for a 305hp car

we already know how production model looks like and it lost almost everything cool from the concept.

That red TLX Concept has great placement of lighting and chrome bits as well as aggressive lower bumper reminds me of the Wald lip on the 2IS.

What a shame they had something going, that black ones looks DOA like it'll blend in and be forgotten from the get go.
