ACURA TO MERGE MDX AND RDX IN 2016

Anonymous source

An anonymous Acura source is reporting that the morphing of the company's TL and TSX models into the 2015 TLX is just the first of several such unions to occur in the next five years.

"It's alphabet soup.  There are too many similar models with confusing names--ILX, TSX, TL, RLX and so on.  Even worse, there's only one vowel in the entire lineup; that's the I in ILX.  We need more vowels, or at the very least a 'sometimes Y'," he said.

According to the source, who was difficult to hear due to the cardboard box filled with styrofoam peanuts he wore on his head to protect his identity, the next phase will combine the MDX and RDX sport utilities to create the MRDX.  

"We reminded the boss that people called the Toyota MR2 'Mr. Two', and that MRDX could be a lot worse than that, but I don't think he got it."
