Reviews Summary

As the dissonant chords of Dieselgate still resonate throughout the industry, most car companies have abandoned efforts toward any future diesel-powered cars. A $15 billion fine will have that sort of chilling effect. But Chevrolet has taken a different approach, instead seeing the mass retreat from diesel as an opportunity to fill a void. As the driver Jean-Pierre Sarti said in Frankenheimer’s 1966 epic “Grand Prix”: “When I see something really horrible, I put my foot down. Hard! Because I know that everyone else is lifting his.”

Reviews Summary

The Acura TLX has offered competent performance since it was introduced in 2015, replacing the old TSX and TL sedans. With a redesigned face, a faster infotainment system, retuned transmissions and extra standard safety, Acura aims to woo new customers to the segment who have so far largely ignored this “also-ran.” But it’s the sporty new A-Spec trims that are the real winners for 2018.
