Styling that Doesn’t Look Like Acura

Thankfully, that styling approach has been left in the past, and we now see an Acura TLX that has tons of style cues to give you a fantastic drive. You’ll see lightweight Shark Gray Y-spoke alloy wheels for the Type S, making this car truly stand out. There are some amazing features that give you the look that you desire.
