BWAHAHAHAHAHA.........I happen to be driving a Maxima rental. Maybe that's why he was trying to ditch me because he saw me taking pictures.

I feel like that will be the new TL.

Wont be the new Maxima as the license plate will be between the rear lights and not on the bumper.

5 series.
The tail light silhouette looks similar. I'm not even sure if it's time for the 5 to be updated.

I'm not sure that's the new TL. The rear end and trunk lid, under that cover, looks a little too high....Acura doesn't usually wedge-style their sedans that way.

The taillights look somewhat like a current-generation Lexus IS (possibly one of the first IS-Fs) but I don't know why it would still be under cover (it's already been displayed at auto shows).
