I see you got the diesel? We are supposed to get the diesel engine in the US next year, but no Tourer, unfortunately.

No dual chrome exhaust tips

Hmm, so will the US Acura diesel also come with the single exhaust? At least give it a chrome exhaust tip.

Elegance and Executive comes with 17" rims as standard. Tinted windows comes standard only with Executive ... car dealer tinted my windows.

Offtopic:
Car prices here in Finland are ridiculous -> http://www.honda.fi/sw8504.asp
2.4 cost almost 50.000€ and thats just too much

I'd buy the "Tourer" model in a heartbeat if it was sold in North America. Then again, I'd sell a body part for an M5 Tourer.

Most diesel vehicles come with the same type exhaust tip for a good reason. The new diesel models don't really have a problem with smoking but eventually as the car gets older it tends to smoke. So, my guess is that's why they pointed the exhaust tip down so that the person behind doesn't get smoke in their windshield. You'll see the same on diesel box trucks that have the exhaust under the box.

They need to do this to school buses!! If you were ever stuck behind one you know what I'm talking about. The exhaust is like 5" wide and it's pointed straight towards the car behind it.

Could you take another picture of the front but from a little further back. I'm trying to make up my mind on the grill. That's the type of grill I was thinking about and wanted to see how it looks from a little further out. Thanks!
