Forgot about the rear vent, the wagon has a dark woodgrain option for the centre console. Looking to retrofit to my 09, already got a MT shift knob with the matching dark woodgrain from UK last month.

I think the '11 front looks look fine..the rear kinda went down though. Cant wait to see one in person though so I can make a real judgement. Do you guys think JDM and EDM lip kits are going to still fit the same onto the bumper?

Not liking that front grille at all. And I thought they couldn't mess it up further! Otherwise, looks the same.

Although I do like the minor touches the 2010 has, I'll be sticking with my 2009.

BoooHoooooooo!!!!

The front of the 2011 is totally weak....can't believe they would
mess it up that much... It is a total backward step.

I'm really glad I have a 2010 now... '11 owners will have to buy the '10 bumper for a sport look now LOL!

The Acura Media newsroom says the Sport Package comes with unique front underbody, side sills and rear bumper and 18-inch 10-spoke aluminum wheels (bodywork available painted in factory TSX colors). I guess that means no sports front bumper for 2011, wonder how the front lip will look like, I like mine very much.

Also, not sure if it's a typo- (Driver-side rearview mirror power-reverse tilt function), do they mean passenger side reverse tilt.

Last but not least, they have 460 watts for the ELS system in the wagon and only 415 watts for the sedan?

Will this be the 18" 10 spokes aluminum rim they are talking about? The Honda Sigma rim 18 x 7.5" for the Euro Accord.

I love the interior changes. The white stitching gives more depth to the leather. The change in the front though is another story. Like someone earlier posted, they changed this car to a HER car. The 09/10 front was aggressive and wide while the 11' model is more conservative. The new grille is also very weird. I don't get Acura's thinking behind this "grille crisis". Why modify it to make it smaller? Get rid of the damn thing if your planning on changing it. I am honestly disappointed at the exterior refreshments. Thank GOODNESS I bought the 10' model. If I was Acura, I would just default the Aero bumper on the 11' model and release a new Sports bumper.

I agree with many of you - what is up with that ugly, cheap looking chrome piece in the center of the rear end? It really messed up the otherwise clean and classy design.

My cousins make fun of me for getting a TSX cuz it's a girl's car haha.
Good thing I didn't wait around for the 2011 version, or they'd be relentless....

I was hoping for LED reverse lights so we could replace ours with the new ones but uh, no pink please...haha.

I wonder if they fixed the breaking fog light problem HAHA.

The 2009/2010 Acura TSX had enough chrome...now they add more?

The interior is nice though. The stitching is a nice touch. 2009/2010 Exterior + 2011 interior would be a win.

Acura needs to change there slogan from "Advance" to "Backward". In terms of external body styling I can understand if the 2011 model was the 09-10 and the 09-10 was the 2011. This I what call an Advance styling. They totally screwed this one. epic fail.

Wow the 2011 front is not good. The 2010 front is nice and aggressive looking. It is like they decided to remove some of the masculinity of the front end for some reason. Very strange.

The screen resolution on the new nav system looks sweet. I think it has the one the TL currently has!

Stupid Acura for taming the front end. The front end on the 09-10 was so much better and aggressive looking!

I also just noticed that on the grill, the part that surrounds the grill is either chrome or painted chrome, not the flat silver on our cars.

if you think about it, the 11' exterior kinda has the conservative(smooth, skinny, no hard angles) lines of a 1G TSX and has that please don't rape me look.

09-10' screams like it wants to rape you.

Let's hope they are not. I don't like pink lights. IMO they just take away from any car's look.

Seriously, it does not look all that different to me. The 09-10 TSX looks good. This one has minor tweaks but still looks like the 09-10s.

The toned down grille may get more fair-weather buyers who are not Honda/Acura repeat buyers.

Yeah...new front or back doesn't look that radical to me. Would like to see how the car looks in V6 mode with the cooler rims.

As always I'll make my final judgment when I see one in person, but...the pics don't impress me at all and I don't really care for any of the exterior changes from what I can tell. It now looks more Honda-ish than ever IMO.

This is a big improvement from the 09-10 for the front end. The grill does look less aggressive but the lower arms separating the lower radiator vent and the fog lights looks 100% better being beefier = a more aggressive look. The 09-10 had thin little arms that go lost in a sea of plastic. I personally thing it looks a lot better, now if only they could do something about the bazillion buttons in the interior...
