But this model is so green.... it doesn't have exhausts or even hidden mufflers

 

Very flattering shot; like the faint touch of chrome trim on the bottom vents too. Great find!

 

Not much wheel gap on this shot... is it the angle, the wheels or photoshopped?

 

Wait a minute, it costs what???? hmmm... It seems to look better now, can't quite put my finger on it... maybe its not so bad after all.

 

I'm thinking it's the angle.

 

Yep, angle/lens/perspective

 

Some say the wheels are too busy but I think they look awesome and different. Great shot too.

 

I like them too. I want to see them up close though

 

I think you will be quite surprise how good it will look. I love the finish on them too. Not too "blingy" and not too dark. Very trendy. I'm not sure what kind of finish it is. Maybe diamond cut.

 

agreed, and these are some unique looking wheels too. I've never seen another set that looks like these, so points for originality.

 

I read somewhere, can't remember, that IT IS diamond cut.

 

Those wheels look medival...and horrendous. But if you like them then you should roll them. Had a good angle on an Accord yesterday and could see the TLX lines in it. Now that the grieving is done over the loss of the prototype I can say with a clear head that the TLX probably doesn't deserve all the hate its gotten, but it still falls short of styling greatness.

 

It's the angle.

For comparison's sake, I offer the following:



The differing angles offers a significant difference in overall appearance. A little post-shot magic with the lighting and shadows probably doesn't hurt either.

 

 

Look at the rear wheel

 

Looks better but I would never run short sidewall 19s in a city environment.

 

Not as scary as you'd think. Maybe driving in Michigan has made me immune.

 

i dont kon if it was posted but here you go.....

 

0:05 in clip. Is it amber LED turn signal? Love it

 

That is supposed to be a red marker light bar. Pretty sure that is from the video effects/reflection. Go to :12 you will see what they really look like. It would have been sweet if that were the signals in amber LEDs though.

I must say that video is very well done. It generates excitement, interest and it shows a real event. If they were smart they would use THAT as a commercial for broadcast. Instead of the corny commercials the brand has been coming up with of late. Maybe the whole "Thrill" part is an exaggeration but people will believe it from that commercial.

Not to mention they captured every great angle of the car in action. Great shot at :50

 

That is a clear amber light. So what's up with that? ... maybe sequential turn signals at MMC

 

That would obviously be a deal killer for folks

 

I agree, it looks amber, but I believe it is really red. All other photos and videos have shown it as red.

 

prototype amber




Stock red

 

You guys are all wrong.

The LED tube in the taillights are RED. They look amber because of the intensity of the LED and the Camera setting.

 

Agreed.

 

Yup it was Red all along. This is due to digital photography and video, the sensors in these cameras have issues with various reds and intensities of red. Usually when the intensity of the light exceeds the dynamic range of the sensor based on the settings. Red blowout. Shoot digital long enough and you will deal with it enough. I shot enough flowers and such to know a lot of cameras do not handle intense reds well.

Here is an example with my old TL, notice how the brake lights are looking yellowish.

 

 

An great example of fretting about "left hind leg of a flea".

 

 

^ I see exhaust pipes

 

and 4BBK's!

 

what, still no exhaust on the back?!

and forgeline monolugs!

 

Wow, no wheel gap lol

 

those bbks are HOT!

 

Someone posted this to vtec.net.... said that it was spotted in Maryland. This however appears to be the Russian market version due to the wheels and the clear/amber rear turn signals versus red.

 

Those pics make the car look so bland and boring.. jesus

 

Acura doesn't sell in Russia, or didn't as of last year. They might rebadge this as the Honda Accord, like they did with the TSX, though

 

At first it looks black but then in the pic where its in the sun it looks like the Black copper pearl. I have the Carbon Bronze Pearl color for my 2008 TL so I guess thats the new replacement color. It looks darker than my car.

 

Hope those amber rear turn signals are the final setup.
