Acura has announced it will debut a “newly refined” 2012 TL sedan at next month’s Chicago Auto Show. Judging by Acura’s wording, the TL’s refresh will likely be along the lines of the recently debuted RL flagship.

The current TL has been criticized for its beak-like front end treatment, so expect the 2012 model to address that issue. Other minor exterior tweaks are also expected, such as re-shaped front and rear bumpers.

The interior will also likely get a once over, but no major changes are expected.

Check back for more details and live images of the 2012 Acura TL following its February 9th unveiling.
