nothing major, subtle touches. Name them I dare you.... Perhaps it was a stretch for Acura to call the TLX a concept anyways...

 

[SameButDifferent]

This basically is the same as the TLX concept. I don't even understand why they made a concept when it is so similar to the production version (I know this is a rendering.)

When was the last time that Acura came out with a really innovative and forward thinking concept?

If you notice, the wheels on the rendering are 2014 Honda Accord Sport rims. I think they look great on the TLX! I might have to buy a set of those Honda wheels for my TLX.

I'm coming from an S2000 and the idea of Honda wheels on my new car sounds great. I'm always looking for those OEM+ mods.

Good job pointing that out, can't believe i didn't notice that. At least we get to see how this looks. Good option if someone wants a winter setup buy some used accord wheels.

Acura was never known to create crazy concepts

Their concepts are usually production ready. I think its just a way to save money...

I like that their concepts are much more simple, it is inline with what they can offer on a production level in the future, realistic for them. At least when we see their production model like concept, it gives us a good idea of what to expect come production time.

I prefer the way honda does it, come out with an obscene concept and then incorporate things back into production vehicles. Thats what a concept is anyways....

not everyone does that

Some manufacturers come out with WILD concepts that excite and will end up disappointing when they production comes out looking nothing like the concept.

Lexus is one of those. The LF-CC concept was amazing. But the production version of it, the Lexus RC-F was nothing like it!

 

[explicit_tl]

If they made a production model that looked close to the lfcc concept i would drop all my acura dreams and move to lexus.

but the RC-F took elements from it. The thing about concepts is that they are free from normal constraints like salability or manufacturing feasibility...

Lexus concepts are always very wild. And people usually get a bit dissapointed at the production. But the production models are still nice looking cars at the end of the day.

Acura usually changes almost nothing from production and concept

it still is far off from the concept, it's not even close to being a toned down version of the concept. i looked into it more and that concept was just a design exercise, nothing more.

here is the Lexus RC concept

There are def similarities.

 

[typeess]

Front end is completely different and the production model has smoother lines.

 

[tino]

yea but you forgot the LF-LC that inspired the RC concept in the first place

 

[5Gs]

I thought the LF LC was meant to be some sort of expensive hybrid V6 supercar ?

that's my understanding.
i always knew it to be a look at the next generation lexus SC, which would make sense.

and then the LF-CC which brought us the RC coupe
