Remco M creates his take on what Acura’s next coupe should look like with these renderings of a modified ILX. You’ll notice the lower front fascia incorporates some features from the current TL, while the reshaped headlights and tail lights take cues from the 2002-2004 RSX.

You’ll notice a huge difference in the direction Acura Canada took to showcase the 2014 Acura RLX. While the US commercial features a voice-over narrating a lifestyle full of luxuries, the Canadian ad is more driver-oriented, focusing on new technologies like the new direct-injected engine and P-AWS. With great visuals and sound, it’s a bit of an adrenaline rush that might have been better suited to introduce the Sport Hybrid SH-AWD RLX coming this fall.

The MDX’s engine architecture is shared with two racecars that recently finished First and Second in the LMP2 class at the 12 Hours of Sebring endurance race in the American Le Mans Series (ALMS). Employing a 6-speed automatic transmission with Sport Mode and Sequential SportShift Paddle Shifters, the new MDX will be offered in both Super Handling All-Wheel Drive™ (SH-AWD™) and two-wheel-drive drivetrain variants, both featuring Acura’s new Agile Handling Assist technology.
Matched to the highly efficient Earth Dreams Technology engine and the \ SH-AWD drivetrain, the 2014 MDX has an EPA fuel economy rating of 18/27/21 mpg1 (city/highway/combined), while the new front-wheel-drive model is EPA rated at 20/28/23 mpg1 (city/highway/combined).
