I thought the ILX fell into the "nice effort but cheaped out" for exterior design. The TLX prototype (being a prototype of course) removes the cheaped out look, gets more aggressive and has the posture/stance to look better overall.
Sorta the same issue when the CLS shrinks down to a CLA - you need a certain size to finish the details and you need to spend enough on the details to make it classy.

And as much as this new TLX impresses me, I am not planning on replacing my TSX with that.
Probably trade it for a 4g After face-lift TL sh-awd or an RL. The new Acura's just print way too much. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Yeah, the window outline might look similar, but it's clearly not a "bigger" version of the ILX. Unlike say the MB CLS & CLA.

Still looks a bit conservative to me. Nothing really "pops" out, nothing ground-breaking. This is the prototype, too. Prototypes usually look more flashy than the production models. I imagine the production model will look even more conservative, which translates to boring.
I don't have high hopes for the production model.
Oh, I have to say, I don't know why everyone likes these Jewel-eye LED headlights on Acuras. They look so low-tech. I think Audi and BMW have the nicest LED headlight designs. Very striking. When you see it from afar, it draws you in, and you want to have a closer look. With Acura's jewel-eye, I see it from afar, and it doesn't draw me in at all.

The biggest difference in the body is that the door handles are moved upwards and the front end is more lifted for a more aggressive/bulky look like the new mazda and infiniti.
The CLA/CLS has more difference with each other than this ILX/TLX comparison.

I'll just put this here. Acura TLX GT Race Car   Quote:
Coinciding with the reveal of the 2015 Acura TLX Prototype at the 2014 Detroit Auto Show this morning, Acura has confirmed that a version of the car designed for motorsport will compete in the GT category of the growing and highly competitive Pirelli World Challenge. The North American-based series features a variety of familiar vehicles racing on a wide range of circuits, from tight street tracks like Long Beach and St. Petersburg to wide and fast circuits such as Austin’s Circuit of the Americas.
The Acura TLX GT race car will be campaigned by Acura Motorsports together with partner RealTime Racing. GT is the premier category of the Pirelli World Challenge and is frequented by race cars based on the likes of the Audi R8, Chevrolet Corvette, Dodge Viper, Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, Nissan GTR, Porsche 911 and Ferrari 458.
The TLX GT will certainly have its work cut out for it when it starts racing later this year, but Acura has had a helping hand in developing the race car by the experts at Honda Performance Development. In fact, the TLX GT will feature a chassis, engine and aerodynamic performance parts all developed by HPD.
Its power unit will be a twin-turbocharged and direct-injected V-6, similar to the unit expected to debut in Acura’s upcoming NSX, and drive will be channeled to all four wheels via the automaker’s Super-Handling All-Wheel-Drive system.
Acura’s partner RealTime Racing is also one of the most successful teams in the Pirelli World Challenge, and it’s been successful using both Honda and Acura products.
As for the TLX, the production version of the car will go on sale this summer, as a 2015 model. It will feature front-wheel drive as standard but will be available with all-wheel drive. Two naturally-aspirated engines will be offered on the car, a 2.4-liter four-cylinder and a 3.5-liter V-6.

More like we can't help you.
Who compares a prototype to a production model car?
Even the race car looks boring.

Speed2K you are comparing a production ILX vs a prototype TLX. I can see what mikey2781 is saying they do look a like but that is expected... You have to remember that the TLX will look very different once the production version comes out

If I have to spell it out, I'm just saying I don't think the TLX prototype looks like an ILX.

I think it looks like the ILX too looks like they just came out with a new ILX and nixed the TL from their lineup entirely except for the naming

LOL.  I don't get how Speed2K can't see that it's same sausage, different size for those two cars. They are as similar as a 5 series is to a 7 series or the new C class to the S class. This is not like the difference between the 1G TSX and 3G TL - those looked like cousins. The ILX/TLX are brothers.
