Acura TLX
The longer, lower, and wider Acura TLX is an ideal choice for those who want a luxury sport sedan with traditional Acura dependability. The TLX offers an exhilarating driving experience thanks to its 272 horsepower 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine. Turn up the heat even more with the TLX Type S, which is powered by a 355 horsepower 3.0 liter V6. By default, the TLX is delivered with front-wheel drive, but the excellent Acura SH-AWD system is available as an option, offering superior handling and grip. Inside, you’ll find a high-quality, performance-oriented interior, with high-quality materials such as open-pore wood and aluminum trim. In terms of interior tech, a large, 10.5-inch heads-up display is available, as well as customizable ambient lighting. The TLX features plenty of safety technology onboard, too. Standard AcuraWatch features include forward collision warning with automatic emergency braking, lane departure warning, and lane keeping assist. Despite its high-tech features, the TLX still offers a traditional sport sedan experience in the best way possible. Sculpted analog gauges give the cockpit a performance-oriented feel, while bolstered sport seats offer both comfort and increased support during high-speed maneuvers.

Porsche Panamera
Ever since its debut in 2010, the Porsche Panamera has redefined what it means to drive a performance-focused sports sedan. No other sedan is able to offer the track-focused handling of a coupe paired with business-class executive seating for adults quite like the Panamera. The extensive engine lineup of the Panamera includes a standard 2.9-liter turbo V6 producing 325 horsepower up to a muscular 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine that cranks out an astounding 620 horsepower in the Panamera Turbo S. An electrified Panamera E-Hybrid variant provides near-instantaneous acceleration combined with outstanding efficiency. Supportive leather-trimmed seating gives you an ideal blend of comfort and body-hugging contours, and a redesigned steering wheel offers improved ergonomics and superior control. Porsche Communication Management includes a 12.3-inch high-resolution touchscreen display and is your central control for audio, navigation, and communication. Now, thanks to a retuned suspension and standard lane-keeping assist and traffic-sign recognition, the Panamera is even better than ever. Just a decade or so ago, it was nearly impossible to imagine a Porsche sedan. Now, we can’t imagine the Porsche lineup without it.
