I don't get a lot of Acura's engineering decisions - a turbo V6 that's their best engine and it makes less power than all of their competitors AND they have a turbo 2L that's top of class so why a measly ~80hp more than the 2L? Should have been at least 120hp more - 380-390 to be class competitive.

Then you've got an oversized car in the TLX with no compelling tradeoff (like amazing styling or way more space) to speak off - it's cramped, heavy, and big. WTF?

The Civic and Accord are world beaters in their class - you couldn't take that and build off of that? You couldn't take those engineers and build something new that's great?
