Acura TLX. 2015 to date (prod. n/a). 4-door sedan. F/F, F/A, 2354 cm³ (I4 DOHC), 3471 cm³ (V6 OHC). US-made mid-sized sedan, replacing both the TSX and the TL, helping to simplify the range, positioning it at roughly the BMW 3er-Reihe (F30) market-place. Sized between the two earlier cars. With flagging car sales (although SUV ones continued to rise), Acura placed hopes on TLX to rejuvenuate the line. Smaller engine featured dual-clutch automatic; larger with Honda’s first nine-speed auto gearbox.
