Finally, Acura has released the tech specs and dimensions for the 2015 TLX.
Here's a link to the site:

You can peruse the numbers but the most surprising things that stand out for me are the interior volume measurements.
2015 TLX
Compared to
2014 TL
And...
2014 TSX
Based on numbers, the TLX is smaller in the passenger compartment than the outgoing TL to the tune of almost 5 cubic feet. Rear seat legroom and front and rear shoulder room appear to have been trimmed the most.
Even more surprising is that the 2015 TLX interior passenger volume is even slightly under that of the 2014 TSX!
I would've thought that it would have at least split the difference between the TL and TSX. What is the point of making it smaller than both of them?
NOTE: The EPA categorizes any car with a total interior volume under 109.9 cu ft as a "Compact Car". Therefore the 2015 TLX is a compact car...
