Hidden renderings found in Acura infotainment point to new models

A crazed Acura fan (perhaps the only one) on an Acura-centric forum has found images that could preview a redesigned MDX crossover and a new flagship sedan.User rdx.god from the Acurazine Forum discovered the photos while digging through some of the files embedded in the infotainment software of his RDX, as you do.Two photos depict silver vehicles on a blue background, and they aren’t vehicles that weve seen before.According to a statement from Acura to Car and Driver, the images are conceptual renderings made for placement only, but its unlikely Acura would develop two renderings for no reason.The first image is clearly a crossover, but with a revised face, suggesting that there could be a redesign in store for the MDX. Its been five years since the last redesign, so the vehicle is overdue. The more interesting design is the sedan, which has some design cues that point to it being more than just a TLX redesign. The next-generation TLX already has a prototype, and a lot of the features have been heavily updated. A Type S variant will also be introduced.Taking styling cues from the 2016 Precision concept, the new model is larger and features door-mounted mirrors and a longer roofline, different from the TLX prototypes.Recently, Acura filed a trademark for the name Legend, a classic badge from the brands history. Its possible this new vehicle could wear that badge, and take the top spot as flagship in the Japanese brands
