Rumor on two continents - Germany in Auto Motor und Sport and Japan in Holiday - has it that Acura is developing a sleek four-door to join the lexicologically questionable segment known as "four-door coupes." The various translations (http://vtec.net/forums/one-message?message_id=832827&news_item_id=832493) equate to a car built on the forthcoming ZDX (http://www.autoblog.com/2009/04/08/new-york-acura-zdx-aimed-squarely-at-bmw-x6/) crossover's architecture, with reports suggesting that the new model will slot in between the TSX and the TL. Longer than the TSX by a few inches, the coupe is expected to also be wider, lower, and have a longer wheelbase than the small sedan.
Although one of the outlets mentioned a V8 and a FR layout, the consensus on a proposed engine is the 3.7-liter V6 paired up with Acura's SH-AWD and Motion Adaptive EPS. When might one expect to see this latter-day CL, if such a thing really does exist? Next year's Detroit Auto Show, (http://www.autoblog.com/category/Detroit-Auto-Show-/) with U.S. sales perhaps at the end of 2010. Hat tip to Nick!
