2021 Acura TLX sedan priced from $38,525; Type S due next spring

The 2021 Acura TLX will start at $38,525 (including a $1,025 destination fee) when it arrives in dealerships this fall. The flagship Type S model, which will be powered by a twin-turbocharged V6, will not arrive until spring, and while Acura has not yet finalized pricing, we're told it will start above the $50,000 mark. 

The $38,525 base price of the 2021 TLX makes it $4,500 more dear than the model it replaces, but competitive with most of its luxury peers, largely thanks to its far more potent base engine. In fact, the 272-horsepower 2.0-liter turbo mill in the 2021 model in only down 18 horsepower from the V6 offered as the upgraded engine in the 2020. The new also TLX gets an updated platform that brings back its traditional double-wishbone front suspension, introduces a new turbocharged four-cylinder engine, and marks the return of the sporty Type S to the model lineup.

Fujifilm X-t4 Could Be Released This Coming Spring

Fujifilm X-T4 Could Be Released This Coming Spring

Back in 2018, Fujifilm announced the X-T3 mirrorless digital camera. In 2019, we started hearing rumors that a successor to the camera could be in the works and that it might be released towards the end of 2020. However, it seems that we might be seeing the camera a lot earlier than expected.

According to a report from Fuji Rumors, the publication cites a trusted source who tells them that the X-T4 (or whatever the successor will be called) could begin shipping out to customers this coming March or in the Spring of 2020. This is considerably earlier than the previous rumor, where if we had followed Fujifilm’s release timeline, the X-T4 would most likely arrive in September at the earliest.
