The shooters at KGP Photography caught a couple of undisguised, fresh-from-the-factory ’15 Acura TLX test cars, providing a first look at the truly production-spec replacement for the TL and TSX. The TLX test cars caught here differ from the "TLX Concept" that was shown to the public.

The TLX Concept that debuted at the recent North American International Auto Show in Detroit wasn't exactly a complete look at a showroom-ready TLX. The black-and-white test cars caught on their post-build shakedown runs reveal toned-down front and rear fascias. The concept showcased a deeper front air dam and more aggressive rear bumper, with flared sculpting and bold chrome accents. Those aggressive details are not found on the final production models, making for a more tame TLX that will enter Acura's lineup after its New York Auto Show debut.
