It’s handsome, it’s fast (enough), it’s luxurious and it’s comfortable. Is there anything the 2021 Acura TLX isn’t?
Well, it isn’t a panacea for all the Honda-isms I’ve complained about for several years, but it is a big step forward in many ways.
The TLX, which started life as a kind of blending of the old TL and TSX, is a mid-sized luxury sport sedan, the type of car the company has made for decades â right back, really, to the original Legend. It goes head-to-head against such tough competitors as the Audi A4, BMW 3 Series, Lexus IS and Genesis G70. The Acura and the Audi are based on front drive platforms, though both offer all-wheel-drive options â as do the rear drive BMW and Genesis.
