Whats the deal in Canada? No whale face?

Is this just a CGI mistake or what? Is the Canadian interior any different then ours?

I am not sure what is the difference? Is this a Canadian version or American version?

It's the Canadian RLX. Its on their website. It's missing a passenger air vent.

I posted it to TOV and they thing its just a Photoshop mistake.
If that is so, then it shows how careless and cheap Acura is in marketing.

Oh thanks for pointing it out Why would Acura be photo shopping images rather than taking actual photos? In any event, this actually looks better but I doubt Acura would make two distinct dashes, one with the vent for the American market and one for the Canadian market.

I could be wrong but I suspect that its just a mistake....but an odd one at that!

I just was on the Acura Canada website and one of the interior photo showing the front of vehicle from the passenger view and you can see a partial vent on the passenger side so I think this is an error. Its amazing with the amount of money these people are being paid and how careful Acura is at leaking info and stuff (i.e. very attentive to details) that something like this happens.

It really is hard to believe they let it happen. I wold at least think that they would catch it and not upload it r something..

And the picture is form the Acura Canadian website.

Amateur photoshop mistake. Probably screwed up a mask/layer.

I just went to the Canadien Acura site and saw it. Virtually the same pic on US site, but has passenger vent.

After all the comments about the sad whale face, I would think marketing would have had to notice. Lets see how long it stays that way
