Future Cars! 2015 and Beyond

Acura TLX

What's New: Everything. Replacing the TSX and the TL, the new TLX starts with a front-drive 206-hp, 2.4-liter I-4 paired to an eight-speed dual-clutch transmission with a torque converter. More power and optional all-wheel drive come with a 290-hp, 3.5-liter V-6 and nine-speed automatic transmission. Front-drive cars get rear steering to improve handling, and AWD cars get Acura's first-ever engine auto start-stop system. The TLX is also billed as the quietest Acura ever on the inside.

Here's Why the All-New Passat Is a Game-Changer

Like Chrysler recently put it, nobody grows up dreaming of a Passat (or was it the Jetta?). But normal family sedans are much more important than you might think and now there's an all-new, 8th generation mid-size coming from one the top-3 largest automakers in the world. We think it's the first Passat worth getting excited in about a decade.
