The Malibu looks better.

Acura is pathetic.

That is a better application of that grille than on the RL, but it still should be different regardless. I will reserve my judgment until more photos are released - I want to see the rear end, which they hopefully did not screw up as with the RL.

I like it! It looks sharp. I still prefer the TL, though...wonder when the new TL comes out..

Wonder what the interior of this TSX will look like...

KIDDIESEL79 · 03-16-2008, 04:43 PM

I like it. Looks better than the RL by a lot.

poncho1982 · 03-16-2008, 04:57 PM

Hello Acura?, Yes, Saturn called, they would like their grill back please......

It doesn't look all that significantly different from the car that it replaces from a first glance. I think Acura could make the same mistake that Ford made when it introduced the completely redone Explorer and revised Expedition, which was they looked almost identical to their predecessors.

what in sam's hell are they doing to their grills. damn they look dumb

EldoFan · 03-16-2008, 06:12 PM

I can understand why some GM/Ford cars are different abroad (like the Focus) and the economic reality which prevents them from selling the same cars here as is.......but why can't Honda/Acura do the same??

That's a short trip, kind of like that grill is a long way to go for a cheap laugh...

I thought it might be the Epsilon II Aura at first glance. It is not that bad. Definately has a more mainstream brand sedan look than a premium brand division look to it IMO.

It's a Honda. That means fine engine, good finish, and fidgety ride. And the American motoring press will go bananas over it.

ctsmo · 03-16-2008, 07:12 PM

like the old tsx better. i just cant stand the grille on the new acuras.
