Acura’s TL, TSX Out, TLX Coming Next Summer

2015 Acura TLX Spy Shot

We're a bit late on this one, but it's still worth noting that both the Acura TL and TSX will soon fade into history, and will be replaced next summer by the TLX.

Acura's newest mid-sized offering — slotted between the Civic-sized ILX and the automaker's RLX flagship (what do these letters mean, B&B?) — will be underpinned by the current Honda Accord, which will also make the sedan smaller than the TL it will replace; the TSX, underpinned by the outgoing European Accord, will simply be phased out.

Under the hood will be the Honda's Earth Dreams 3.5-liter V6, which, in spite of the granola name, makes 310 horsepower under the bonnet of the RLX. The TLX will most likely also include AWD, an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission, and all-wheel steering like the system used in the aforementioned RLX.

Though no price has been given as of this writing, the TLX will make its worldwide debut as a prototype during the 2014 Detroit Auto Show alongside the new Honda Fit, and will be assembled at Honda's Marysville, Ohio plant.
