Isn't it too little too late? Last time I checked sedan sales tanked and no one is buying them. You rarely see any new Mazda 6 around or any new tlx. Still a few new accords around.

It doesn't really look any different than the current TLX to me... looks like a concept for the TLX

Sportback seems to be the latest trend ... it has the rear slope/coup lines for it but I wonder if it is. I see traditional trunk opening in one of the pics.

Sharp looking car.
Never been a fan of Acura outside the nsx but this excites me.

possibly living up to the badge and not just diluting it like BMW's M division
being a honda i think there's a good chance for a traditional stick shift (they recently just added it for the civic hb sport touring)

Haha so the CSX Type-S wasn’t diluting the badge?
I mean none of these cars are real performance cars as long as they’re FWD

Give me a break you’re not seriously going to argue FWD is superior to RWD for performance are you? Jesus....
Any performance oriented FWD car is spending a good deal of its tuning and potential just trying to diminish/overcome the fact that it’s FWD.
And yes, slapping the Type-S badge on a Civic Si is the definition of diluting something.

every platform has its shortcomings
Type-S is just a sporty trim like Si, it's not a homologation like Type-R from the yesteryear
diluting would be putting Si badge on a Pilot/Passport with a body kit
