Why Acura is stuck on this front end is beyond me.

Audi & Lexus have changed their corporate face to evolve.
MB only needs the badge, as their front ends endlessly evolve.
BMW has the twin kidney grilles which blend well with all their designs.

Acura has been stuck in 1995. Ever since the CL-X concept....that's essentially what Acura has been designing flavors of...at least in terms of the front ends.

I don't like it, but maybe it is because of the color. That color is disgusting; is this the Mary-K special edition? Maybe if it was in silver or black I might like it more.

This is for the asian market though. They LOVE the sci fi techie look there. Anything that could have been out of Robotech. The grill is probably the only thing that will carry over to the american market, and I think it looks pretty good.

These cars look good with 5 point grilles. I can understand the hate for the beak.
