Acura TLX Reaches the End of the Road
The automaker has confirmed that TLX production will stop at the end of this month, marking the end of the performance sedan.
Sharp Drop in Sales

End of an Era
The discontinuation of this luxury saloon closes a chapter for the brand, which is now focusing on models better suited to today’s market conditions.
