I think the article does nail it tho... the 3G had the cleanest design. I don't know what Acura was thinking with the 4G design overhaul.

I also think the leather color and all around inside color scheme on the car in the article... is horrendous. Black leather would have been nice. LOL

^ i didnt read the article.

but i do know that car manufactures are copying the 3g style. See the new malibu.
and one can only hope that others play catch up with the 4G styling.

I'll say this tho, if i could find a SH-AWD 6mt for the price of my current car, i'd make the switch in a heart beat.
I really really want to test drive it.

I prefer the 3G over the 4G myself. But time marches on.

So what was up with the orange leather? Was that just an option for the 2010's?

I will say this the seats in the 4G are a bit more comfy to me but I can't stand the navi set so far back on the dash. I love my touch screen in the "S". But all new honda's and acura's are like that now. I would love to have sh-awd too but oh well instead I got a crappy tape cassette player lol!!

Front grill aside, I think the article nailed it in that the car's wheelbase to overall length is so discrepant. It still looks like it could be a Buick from the side and the interior isn't much better. It's a shame they're wasting such an outstanding powertrain on such an awkward looking car. At least they finally put the parking brake handle where it belongs though.

I have seen some pictures of 4g on this forum that make me like them. It's growing. I actually LOVED the 2g and was disappointed in the 3g, all the way up to the tl-s. Never really liked them as much as the 2 g. Till I saw this little baby sitting in the lot last year.

Still like the 3g more, but the 4g does seem more up to date, etc.

^ f'n ... or a 6MT RL. Acura had all the perfect tools, just not the perfect combination.

Styling: 3G > 4G

Drivetrain: 4G > 3G

I agree. Looks like someone threw up that interior. 3G is King. LOL
