Will the front end snout go in 2006?

I hate the front-end bumper cover on the 3gen TL. Does anyone think they'll raise the snout up like the RL in 2006?

I seriously doubt it. The new TL styling is getting rave reviews everywhere...

If Acura "freshens up" the exterior configuration of the front end, I think you will find that they may extend the "snout" to make it look even more agressive. Style sells and they are selling all they can make.

I bet they will leave it as is. Its really nice looking now. Although I love those angle eyes, but that doesnt have to do with the snout.

angel eyes are strictly a bmw thing and i don't think acura would flatter bmw by incorporating it into their headlights. besides that is what the aftermarket rice world is for.

If anything, the RL should borrow styling cues from the TL.


But the RL looks much better in person than in photos, especially the rear end.

Any cosmetic changes like this would occur during the MMC which should occur for the 2007 model year. Personally, I doubt you will see many though and imagine this fall should be a fairly quiet year for changes for the TL.

Is there a reason they dont mention all the changes to the new year, same model of a car untill right before it hits the market?

why would they do that? then people would just wait and not buy until the new model comes out. this is not good for sales as they have projected margins to meet. no business in their right mind would canabolize their own product by advertising something to discourage their intended customers. even tho the buyer will end up with a TL its not good to have them stop buying for a given period because of "slight" changes to the model lineup.
