Power Plenum Grill Origin

It looks like Acura attempted to copy the grill from a concept car shown at a 2006 auto show. See article http://www.newsservant.com/cars/wher...from-new-cars/

I thought this was obvious? They plainly stated at that very auto show that the ASCC would foreshadow some of the design cues of upcoming Acuras. How is this news?

Personally, I thought it was the love-child of Howard Stern and the Terminator. *shrug*

I think they showed the ASCC just so people would understand that there is something far uglier than the '09 RL.

I've never wanted to fit a fabric bra on a car so badly before....

If there are decent after market grill options for the new RL, it might make it look like a who different car.

This possibility has been raised in a couple of other threads. This option wouldn't require any factory retooling, and could be sold as a dealer add-on, like on the Pilot.
