could this be the 2004 TL?

Don't know if this is a repost but came across this and thought it might be what the new 2004 TL is going to look like

Front looks like RSX/Accord Grille, G35 Headlight shape, Dodge Intripid front end. Back looks like the Hyndai sports coupe.

Front is nice...back sucks

Oh God, that looks sooooo much better than the 03 Accord. If the TL looks anything like that, I'm for it!

I wouldn't be surprised if that is the new TL since the front end has fog lights while the NA Accord/TSX has fog lights as an option. Front end is chiseled which suggests that this is an Acura. The aggressive slanting of the rear window and how the C-pillars are shaped resembles that of the current TL. Lastly, the tailights resembles that of the TL-X concept back in 1998.

Not crazy bout the front of it. Looks too much like the new accord. Current TL looks a lot better in front. We're back to "that's a TL? Thought it was an accord from the front...". Think they need to come up with something a bit more different.

That rear end and the wheels on the red car SCREAM A4 to me, and its good to see that I am not the only one. I like the front and it seems to have mirror signals. We shall see, MT was pretty close on the 05 Mustang.

This was an artist idea of what the 03 Accord was most likely going to be. Too bad, because it would have looked great. But Honda has no problem selling any accord, no matter what it looks like. Make this one a bit bigger, and with a more original front end, and you got your self a great looking 04 TL!!!
