Ummm...you sure? The Acura Legend, Vigor, Integra and Honda Accord of the late eighties/early nineties were handsome, but possessed similar aesthetics and proportions. The mid-nineties bought some bland Acuras; save for the CL and Integra, the rest of the lineup was so dull, they could have donned Honda badges in lieu of the Acura calipers and no one would have suspected a thing. Coming into the current century, the TL and CL tastefully advanced from the Accord. If anything, I think modern times provide the most distinct Acuras; the TSX, RSX, and TL are rakish and wedged compared to the typically more rounded, generic shapes at Honda.
