What this means is that since the Accord and the TLX shares related platforms... this motor could find its way into the Acura TLX... maybe as a TLX type R?
Think about it... TLX TYpe R with Super Handling torque vectoring awd and making a little more power. That would put the TLX Type R as a car to be cross shopped between an Audi S4 or m340i. They would just need to boost the turbo or strap a larger turbo to the motor to get equiv hp.

There's only so much you can do with a 2.0L four. The Acura would be a possible (ugly) match for the 330xi, but the S4 and 340xi would have much better tuning potential.
