Will it have what it takes to pull loyalties from other marques? That's a good question. Acura holds a unique entry-level premium status, due much to its aggressive pricing and its 4-cylinder and V6 front drive powertrains. Brands such as Lexus and Infiniti reach slightly higher up the respectability ladder, so the Honda division might only cause problems for Volkswagen and Volvo. The final tally should show that the upcoming TL will have what it takes to at least maintain its current market share, and that's doing pretty well these days.
