I like the TL. I think M35's rear is a little too busy.

Aren't the terms "objective opinions" an oxymoron? After all, all opinions are subjective

If you post some pics of the two side by side it might make it easier

You're asking this question on an Acura forum... Do you seriously expect the answers to be otherwise?

Style is all in the eye of the beholder.
You can not scientificly prove one looks better than another.
That said, I dont like the looks of any lexus.

I think the TL is a sharp looking car.

I always thing round brake lights looks better, but the TL looks way better than the new Accord.

The M lights are a tad big, but the overall package is dead sexy.

TL rear end looks better but overall entire package I would have to go with the M45... But the $49,000 price tag is a little steep.

The backside of the TL is the best part of the whole design, IMO. The TL looks great, and I just don't say that b.c I own one. I think the Infiniti sedans are all just plain in design...

I don't know about anyone else but the exhaust on that TL looks a little weird in that picture... different from what it looks like in real life... I don't know... maybe it's me

I think the TL has a better looking tail end than the M... The M is nice but I like the TL better.

I think the TL back end is just dead sexy and muuuch more bad ass. I have a CL so I don't start off with an initial bias.

Personally I still think the rear of a 2nd gen TL is the best. Flowing lines, eh,....timeless design.

3rd TL rear end only looks good from a certain angle. I guess the posted picture captured it.

Plus, I like the exhaust of 2nd TL and CL, don't like the current irrgular shaped ones on 3G.

2nd Gen is the one you want to marry, 3rd Gen is the one you want to sleep with, and Oprah is the one you want to throw off a cliff!

I prefer the M35's rear, i think it accentuates the lines of the car more than the TL's, which I find a little too boxy when compared to the rest of the car

the M35's lights would be better if they removed that part on the trunklid

the M35 has a luxurious look in the back
the TL has a sportier and japanese look to it

the only thing that i hate about the m35 is their fugly tail lights....its supposed to be tail lights not a light up trunk... the whole rear looks like its only lights and it makes the car look less wider IMO

I prefer the M35's over the TL's. The TL's rear is too boxy and flat as someone stated earlier.

Hahaha, thats classy. BTW, did you watch yesterday's VS fashion show?

Giesel Bundchen was my favorite model, but I think she didn't behave like a leading model among girls, so i give my 1st rank to Karolina Kurkova

The TL looks much better. The M is atrocious. even the photochop above is ugly...the lights look like a Volvo's - big and clunky.
