Best looking Acura since the 3G TL?

I'm really enjoying our '06 Acura TL we bought this October - pretty good mpgs, decent hp and 6sp manual. The newer Acuras are a bit on the butt-ugly side, IMO but that may be changing. This a cheaper answer to the IS250?

Options include a 2.4L with a manual tranny and a no tape deck() It'll be interesting to see how this model does. Yea, I know it's a starter car and not as much power, but this certainly looks better than a TSX.

The Best Looking Acura of all time is coming to dealer showrooms within a few years, the new NSX!

nothing has even come close to the 3G TL-S IMO. the concept NSX looks so sick. the rear of it is my desktop background right now. the back of the ilx looks good but the front yet again...leaves much to be desired.

The return of the NSX is exciting news!

Looks like the designers are sticking with the "Happy Face" look, but still it's a beauty.

The 2012 TL looks good to me, they've toned down that gaudy front grill/hood look.

The ILX is going to be a Civic in sheep's clothing. I think this is a bad direction for Acura (remember the Cadillac Cimarron back in the 80's?- it was a rebadged Chevy Cavalier and the butt of jokes for the past 3 decades). The NSX looks great, but I'm sure it'll sell in limited numbers and will be out of the price target for most of us. The ILX may do well if priced right, but if it's anything near the $30K mark, people will look elsewhere.

We already had a Civic/Acura .. this is , as said above, just another glorified one.
