Acura TLX teased ahead of N.Y. debut

- CLAYTON SEAMS DRIVING.CA

Acura has released a red-tinted teaser image of the upcoming TLX mid-size sedan. It looks like the automaker used the same studio where they shoot all the red-tinted Dodge Demon photos. Sharing many mechanical parts with the Honda Accord, the TLX is Acura’s rather slow-selling mid-size sedan.

The image shows Acura’s fivelight headlights and an enormous plastic Acura logo directly in the centre of the grille.

The “beak” — which was universall­y bemoaned — is now gone and has been replaced with this much more convention­al design.

No mechanical details have been given about the sedan but we can expect it to continue to offer V6 power and be offered in both front-and all-wheel-drive formats. Hopefully the refreshed 2018 version can entice buyers back to Acura showrooms.
