2018 Acura TLX A-Spec first drive review: character by committee
A jack of all trades, the 2018 Acura TLX is so balanced it fades among more daring, extroverted rivals. A mid-cycle update rather than a full-scale redesign, the 2018 Acura TLX hammers yet another nail in the coffin of Acura's hated shield grille. The new grille stretches more horizontally and sits...

The Acura TLX receives a revised look and some new tech features for the 2018 model year. However, over in China, the TLX is also receiving a long-wheelbase option. The stretched model, known as the TLX-L, was unveiled on Wednesday at the 2017 Shanghai auto show. The TLX-L will be sold exclusively in China where there is big demand for executive sedans with extra legroom in the rear. This is because many executives in China get around busy urban areas with the aid of a chauffeur. Most of the TLX’s rivals offer a long-wheelbase option in China. And even some cars you don’t expect...

2015 Acura TLX: Best Car To Buy 2015 Nominee

Whatever happened to the Legend, the Integra, or even the Vigor? Acura used to have such brilliant, instantly recognizable model names. Names that inspired thoughts of potential, performance, power, and style. Now, the brand has adopted the alphabet stew that plagues so much of the rest of the luxury car world. Whether that’s for better or worse, there are aspects of the 2015 Acura TLX that remind us of the good old days of proper names—and proper cars. How so? The new TLX is pretty darned brilliant, that’s how. It has, hands down, the best-tuned suspension you can buy for...

With the introduction of the 2013 Acura ILX, Acura’s aging TSX now has to compete with a much newer model that’s almost the same size and occupies a very similar price segment. This has led to suggestion that the TSX will be dropped from Acura’s lineup once the current model has run its course. To fill the gap between the entry-level ILX and recently previewed RLX flagship in Acura’s sedan lineup will still be the TL, however, Motor Trend reports that the TL could eventually converge with the TSX to form a new ‘TLX’ model. What’s all this got to do...
