A lot has changed since Acura offered its last Type S model over a decade ago. Tesla's EVs have plundered a sizable chunk of market share, Korean manufacturers have stormed the near-luxury and luxury segments, and Acura, in an effort to restore the luster of their once-revered nameplate, rebooted the legendary NSX as a hybrid-powered supercar halo with the hopes that desirability (and some hardware) will trickle down into the rest of the lineup. Just don't expect it to be as track-worthy as a Honda Civic Type R.

The sedan is not the most practical body configuration, neither does it have real sporty characteristics. We’ve seen enough typical sedans during the last half a century and today s pragmatic criteria tells us that the best family cars have hatchback or van-like bodies. Despite this, here comes the Acura TLX – a “made by the book” sedan, full of advanced solutions, the result of a very consistent investment. Why did they do it?
Acura is a premium brand and the sedan, generally speaking, is about travelling in style. All the premium car manufacturers pf the world are still producing sedans. Maybe the sedan shape is something old, yet it is a solid value. Even if its dimensions are relatively large, a sedan never looks as massive and undynamic as a tall car (MPV or SUV). The nicest ones breathe the temptation to be driven, even if this is not necessarily about speeding.
