Rendered: MMC Acura RLX with Diamond Pentagon Grille

What if the refreshed RLX looked like this?

Very nicely done. However those are TLX cues grafted onto the RLX. Single row jewel eyes and chrome accents on the lower 'intakes'. I would expect that face on the TLX with the Pentagon grille. The RLX needs more distinction as the flagship to differentiate it from the TLX face.

Can you add either horizontal or vertical LED driving lights in the lower fascia? What might it look like with both configurations? Also what if the head lights were the two row version of the current RLX headlights, but with more lights like what is displayed in the current picture created?

Two row Jewel Eyes would be a tight fit because of the new headlight shape. They're a lot slimmer than the current RLX. The ones used in the render were off the Acura CDX.

The single row led's look more sleek IMO. Looks great and doesn't look like the corporate grille was just tacked on.

I think it looks good, but it is too similar to the current Ford Taurus....exception is the jewel eye headlamps.

I'd actually like to see Acura stick with the 5 bulb look and not get closer to what the Accord/Civic have with lots of bulbs as you're showing here.

I guess I'd rather the headlight space read as almost "negative" space if that makes sense. I liked the Precision Concept with the Jewel Constellation Headlights and the fractal stuff it had going on. If they have that fractal/lightning bolt texture and brightwork over what is basically 5 "black holes" I think it could be a really neat look.

Here's the MDX MMC teaser shot from earlier this year and you can kind of get an idea of what I'm talking about w/r/t the headlights being "negative" space.



I just think it'd be cool if they had fractal or almost organic texture inside that black space.

Nice!

But RLX to be competitive with the rest of the cars, Acura needs to change the interior as well. The need to match $60-70K cars.

What about the interior design needs improving?
