Besides, why would 1st Generations haters even care what is in the 2nd Generation discussion board? I could care less about 1st Generation owners......I don't read their forum....think about it!
I say
to all who have purchased any vehicle, we all made out purchases for a reason and for our own taste not what others think.....just my opinion.

According to Acura, the 2nd gen TSX wasn't designed to satisfy people who want to upgrade from the 1st gen TSX; instead, Acura would like you to upgrade to the TL because they believe your income would keep on increasing, and thus be able to afford a more expensive car. Of course that's their own theory, and whether it's right or wrong is another topic.

This chatter about 1G board members hating on the 2G is off topic, we're discussing comments from other automotive sites - and it's not like there's a 50/50 love it hate it mix on the grille, it's overwhelmingly disliked. It would seem that Acura only wants to sell cars to people who look past grilles. What will this mean for quarterly sales?
I'm waiting patiently for the first sales reports to come out so we can see if Acura's lesser Lexus strategy pays off.

You love yours, I still love mine, and I can assure you that jealousy (or just envy) doesn't fuel any critiques I can offer.

You're dreaming if you sales will tank. I've said it many times...the formula hasn't changed, it will sell just as good if not better.

Those "haters" are not hating and are not jealous, it just turned out that it was not what many expected it to be and are stating their opinions. They are not here to make 2nd gen owners feel bad or make 1st gen owners feel better. I am a current 1st gen TSX owner, and I have mixed feelings about the new car just as I have for mine. Please don't make this into a 1st gen vs 2nd gen owners thing.

It looks....um....for a lack of a better term, BLOATED.
There is just something about it that I don't like. I guess that not only the grill but the whole front end. I can't remember who said it in what thread, but a while back someone said it correctly...'The 1st gen look barely contained...like it's ready to rip out of the frame a roar'...something to that effect. The 2nd gen looks large, bloated, and slow. I think the grill has a factor in that image of mine.
I'm not gonna flame anybody who has a 2nd gen, because as they say 'Different strokes for different folks', but it's just not my cup o' joe.
