Hmm, looks like the grille might be a slightly smaller size. Wonder if/how that will affect whether the Modulo grille will fit?

I like that, man! I don't know why but I think that's pretty sexy. Definitely thinking about a trade in here.

When I heard the '11 TSX Seden would receive some changes to the grille, front and stuff, I thought it'd be a bit more drastic.

And I really don't get the point of this wagon when Acura already has the ZDX.

....the ZDX is almost $20K more and is an unpractical and ugly POS. Had one as a loaner while my TSX was in the shop. I'm 6', and I had trouble getting in, and my previous GTI had more cargo room. Acura screwed the pooch with the ZDX IMO....

Then scrap the ZDX, and make the wagon!
Sheesh.
If I remember correctly, the ZDX was designed and made in America, and the fact that it sucks says a lot....

And the TSX wagon isn't a looker either.

The TSX Wagon isn't that bad. I have seen the European model dropped on rims, which looks pretty good, but I think it can use AWD.

I don't think so -- it looks like the foglight cutouts are shaped slightly different.

well that pic of the sedan makes me very happy that I went with the 2010 . While it's obviously not horrible (since it's not that much different) I'm not a fan of the bigger split pieces on the lower grill and the foglights with the silver casing look out of place to me.

I love it!

Wagon in blue looks great! I'd snag one up myself, but unfortunately I'm still in love with my 06 TSX

You are right, the grille definitely won't fit. Notice the bumper (blue part) goes up to the inside part of the headlights which make the grille smaller.

I like the blue one with the "Sport Accessories." Too bad its only going to come in a slush box and no V6. I hope people snap them up so Acura one day will offer at least the V6, then and maybe I might consider it. No manual with only the I4 = no buy.

Did anyone notice they have a side show of the sedan when you to the performance tab. Rear looks unchanged.

Yes they have a new finish on them. Also the rear looks the same to me so i guess no changes there.

Not the clearest pic of the 2011 sedan, but I like the update. It isn't drastic enough to insult those who like the 09-10 and just different enough for those who don't care for the slightly in-your-face beak. Just my two cents. Have to see more pics, but I'm waiting to get the '11 model with tech.

I think the wagon looks great, for a wagon.

I think the 2010 grill looks much better than the new one, though. I would buy the outgoing 2010 at a bargain instead of the incoming 2011 on looks alone. Of course, the nice nav would come into play, but I don't think the current nav is bad at all.

The new fake wood does not fit well with the rest of the cabin, I think.

Agreed, subtle change but it looks much better IMO. Actually like it now.

Another view of the front. The silver fog light surrounds are ugly.

Agree.

The 11 bumper will most likely fit the 09-10, however they need to be painted first (unlike the sports aero came pre-painted).

I won't do it on my car because the Modulo sports grille and the OEM front lip spoiler won't fit the 11' bumper.
