Cars like the BMW 3 Series and Audi A4 make it difficult for other compact luxury sedans to stand out. And yet, the Acura TLX does just that, even more so this year thanks to styling revisions. Its 3.5L V6 develops 290 horsepower and 267 lb·ft of torque, and is paired with an nine-speed automatic transmission. A 2.4L four-cylinder engine is offered in the front-wheel-drive version of the TLX.
