RlX has Jewel eye on all models. RLX has no fog lights. Production car can be seen on video on Acura.com under future vehicles. RLX has already been seen at autoshows. TL will not be released for sale until spring of 2014!!!

So what will the TL be? Since they initially stated that the cars were too close in size and they were going to get rid of one with the TSX encroaching on TL size. Will it switch from a four door to a two or will it take a further leap into the "4 door sport coupe market". That wouldn't be a stretch besides they truly need to distinguish between the two and a nice 4 door 4 seater would fit nicely into the lineup. Acura has lost me, I'm not sure what they are trying to define themselves as since they introduced the ILX which seems to be another step backwards. So will the TL or whatever it's called employ the latest in Acura tech or take a page from the lesser models?

In my eyes the the ILX makes perfect sense if you take out the TSX. It looks like Acura is positioning themselves to have three sedeans. ILX being the smallest, RLX the largest and the new TLX being inbetween the two. I suspect the TLX to downsize to somewhere between the first gen TL & 2nd gen TSX in overall length (between 185-189in), while keeping close to, if not a slightly, smaller interior to the current TL. That would put the TLX dimensionally dead smack in the middle of it's brothers RLX & ILX, while simultaneously putting it back in that sweet spot of being just bigger than a compact and inched into midsize.
