The automaker is currently mum on specific details, but in a press release, Acura stated, "The all-new model will feature more emotional styling with tidier, sports sedan proportions wrapped around two all-new advanced powertrains that provide even more athletic performance, along with a host of signature Acura technologies."<br /><br />During an event in Detroit earlier this week, Mike Accavitti, American Honda's senior vice president, told <em>Autoblog</em> that the introduction of the TLX will create a three-tier sedan lineup for the luxury brand in the United States. In other words, the TLX won't just replace the aging <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/acura/tl/">TL</a>, it will also mark the death of the smaller <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/acura/tsx/">TSX</a> sedan (and wagon). The TSX will officially be axed sometime next year.<br /><br />The 2015 TLX will be available with either two- (read: front) or all-wheel drive, and will use two direct-injected engines, both of which will be mated to a brand-new transmission. We'll have more details in just a few weeks, but for now, <a href="/2013/12/19/2015-acura-tlx-detroit-tsx-discontinued-official/#continued">scroll down</a> to read Acura's official press blast.<p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/19/2015-acura-tlx-detroit-tsx-discontinued-official/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>2015 Acura TLX prototype to debut in Detroit, TSX to be discontinued</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2013/12/19/2015-acura-tlx-detroit-tsx-discontinued-official/">2015 Acura TLX prototype to debut in Detroit, TSX to be discontinued</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Thu, 19 Dec 2013 05:01:00 EST.

Makes me wonder what the TLX is based off of. The TSX was based off of the Euro/Asian market Accords, they were fantastic small cars.
