Acura is 25 years old this year. In the past quarter-century they’ve had huge hits (Integra, Legend, NSX, MDX) and made a few gaffs (CL, for instance). But the recent design flaw of a huge metallic nose on the 2009-11 TL was significant because it weakened potentially strong sales of Acura’s best-selling sedan. Owning up to the mistake, Acura softened the look of the 2012 car by lowering the hood line and decreasing the overall scale of the shield-like beak. The rear has also been made less angular, and the overall length of the car shrinks 1.5 inches. There were minor cosmetic changes to the interior of the car as well, but beyond the re-skin, the biggest upgrades include far more responsive steering, thanks to a recalibrated electric power steering system, and an upgrade from a five-speed automatic in favor of a faster-shifting six-speed. And, yes, you can still get a six-speed with a clutch as well.
