ACURA TO MERGE ENTIRE LINEUP INTO JUST ONE VEHICLE

Acura has decided to combine all the vehicles in its lineup into one vehicle.  Instead of selling the ILX, TLX, RLX, RDX and MDX, the automaker will only offer what it describes as a "sport sedan utility vehicle" called the ITRMX.  And yes, there will be an ITRMX SH-AWD model.

When asked the rationale behind merging all of its models, ill-tempered Acura spokeswoman Anistheesia Ricketts looked up from her iPhone and snarled, "All the damned cars looked alike anyway."  Can't argue with that.

Our sources say the vehicle's final design is 
expected to be pretty much the same.  
Well, maybe a little different.  

The grille of the production version (above), will 
feature an aluminum blade the size of a 
Cessna propeller, along with nearly 
microscopic Chiclet headlights.  At least
 it looks happy.
