Clean it up at the front, and a bit at the back and it seems to follow the recent design language of the ILX and RLX...

I was thinking the same thing in regards to the next generation TL due out in about 16 months. This is the kind of design boldness I knew Acura was always capable of. So if this is a glimpse of the future, it sure does look extremely promising, especially if the TL is mixed with the same gas-mileage aware hybrid system found in the RLX. Acura should try and pack everything into the next TL and offer just one trim fully loaded and priced right. Then watch Acura take the road by storm!!!!

Is the Honda Concept C a Preview of Acura's Rumored TLX?
A major clue is hidden in the concept’s front-end styling. The Concept C’s grille features a distinct Acura-like beak, which we haven’t seen before on any previous model from Honda. Also, the concept is for a mid-size sedan, which is about the right size for a new TLX.
On top of this, the Concept C also shares some elements with Honda’s recent 2013 Accord Coupe Concept, such as the angular headlights and square intakes, suggesting that it may also preview the next-generation Honda Accord Euro model, the previous generation of which is currently available in the U.S. as the Acura TSX.

The reason why there is confusion for some...if it will be a TLX or Accord, is because Honda is confused...mixing Acura and Honda design elements...par for the course.

Remember people, the CURRENT Accord is an exclusive luxury car in Japan, called the Inspire. It could very well be an Acura in China with a bunch more features added to it..........Just keep that in the back of your head for now. Just a thought...........Think Buick and GM and what they sell here vs China.........it's still a Buick, but a lot nicer one..........in China........

Car and Driver thinks its sized between the ILX and TSX. And that it is a future Acura car.

But with all do respect, what does that have to do with sharing the same design elements? A Honda can be more luxurious than an Acura (whether it be in China, US, or Japan), but that's no excuse for confusion in design elements. Honda is either very cheap or very rudderless...or worst case scenario, maybe a heaping spoonful of both.
