Acura TLX Prototype

This sedan was designed to replace the TL, but there’s not much to embrace about its styling. Acura’s trademark “Jewel Eye LED headlights” are a bright spot, but the rest of the vehicle is uninteresting and too safe to attract much notice. It likely won’t cause current buyers to flee the brand, but it may not be successful in attracting converts, with all the other sizzling luxury offerings in the market.
